    Happy Birthday! Hmmmmmm what machine to get, think your going to have to decide do you want to expand your embrodery skills or do you want a work horse just to sew & quilt with. I have a janome MC10000 its my do everything dream machine then I have a JUKI that I long arm with on a grace quilter, its a work horse for quilting and sewing different thicknesses. I also have a little cheap Euro-Pro that is very light weight that is my take everywhere machine. Check your local dealers try several brands, see if they have trade-ins available that you might be able to get a better machine for the price because it was slightly used. Check EBAY for pricing whats out there in your budget range to help decide. If your going for embroidery go for something that accomodates a large hoop size because before you know it you'll out grow it and be saying I wish mine did a larger area! Again Happy Birthday.......what ever you decide don't trade the DH in! LOL He is a keeper!

    Happy Birthday! Some sewing stores have really great deals after the state fairs-they were a demo and I bought my embroidery/sewing machine that way several years ago and got full warranty and sewing classes free. The main thing is to go to several shops and sit down and try them and then ask if they happen to have any great deals. Hope you find just what you want.

    I would stay with a Janome. Can you go to a dealer and try them out. Do you take your machine with you a lot. If so, I'd go with the 720 or 760 platinum. The 720 is going for about $450. If you don't carry your machine with you I'd try out the larger models.

    Happy Birthday! My husband bought be a Hus Viking back in 2004. I took all the classes for embroidery and did use it some. I mow enjoy making quilts more and rarely use the embroidery part. The thinks I like about my machinne is it lets me know when it is out of bobbin thread so I don't sew without thread. I like the cutting button, the thingy that helps thread the needle, and it has a 1/4 " position. I really didn't need such an expensive machine.
