Want to buy new quilting/sewing machine
jazzelise Member since 2/18/13 Posts: 1	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/25/13 12:18 PM I have looked at a lot of machine reviews. Get more confused the more I read. I want A machine that is easy to use, can quilt well, auto threaders, auto needle down, auto cutting threads. Help I am leaning toward Bernina for about $1000.00 Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Elsie

Well, you'd be very very blessed if you did! What about a Juki Straight stitcher since you only mentioned quilting? The Juki 2010 might be what you are looking for. No deco stitches, but people here rave about them for both piecing and quilting. The threader is semi auto, and I've heard it isn't the greatest, but everything else on this machine is stellar! Brother makes a similar machine, and so does Janome. ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Juki TL2010 Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

Date: 2/25/13 12:40 PM The Juki HZL-F600 has all of those things and more. I paid $899 for mine brand new with lots of nice extras like a walking foot and tons of needles, a rolling case, hard cover, lots of feet, etc. It sews through anything I throw at it. If you're set on a Bernina, best raise your budget. Have a great time shopping. I love researching new machines. I thought I had to have a Bernina and started shopping for one...decided to give this Juki a try and I am so happy I did. ------ Jami

If she likes Bernina, she's missing a zero and a comma in her price. ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel. My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it. 2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold 1970's: Elna SU62 & ElnaPress
