When I started to learn how to quilt, I couldn’t use my sewing machine… so I had to learn it while I was learning how to quilt… and than my machine broke and I had to buy another one.
Not sure if sewing and quilting was something I wanted to continue, we ( DH & me ) decided to buy a cheaper machine and not go for a Janome or Bernina. If I had known last year what I know now… I would have saved some more money and bought me a Bernina or Janome machine.
In the mean time – since buying the Toyota machine – I’ve saved money and now I want to buy me a real machine, lol.
But I am not sure which one it is going to be, I need to go visit a couple of sewingmachine-shops and get myself informed about it all.
I want something like the BSR from Bernina, because I want to be able to do some nice quilting with regular stitch-size. I want a huge arm opening so I will be able to transport lot of quilt through….. I want it to be able to place needles right or left from centre, if possible I also would like it to have lots of nice stitches to be used in quilting. If it has a embroidery possibility it has a couple of points extra in my opinion….
I know I have a lot of requirements, but I guess that now I have enough money to buy me a great machine, I want it to have as much possibility’s as possible….. So if there is something else ( besides all the things I already mentioned ) that the perfect machine would need to have to be perfect indeed, please let me know and leave me a comment on this post! You’ll help me in my quest for the best sewingmachine!
Thanx!

Mn buur is vandaag op pad geweest voor een nieuwe. De Bernina’s zijn wel schrikbarend duur! Ik heb vorig jaar een Husqvarna gekocht, zonder veel toeters en bellen. Ik wil er alleen af en toe op kunnen patchen en ga niet machinaal quilten; mn Husq kan dat prima en de vorige Husq (van mn moeder overgekregen) heeft 45 jaar bijna wekelijks trouwe dienst gedaan.
Succes met je keuze!
