At the present time I have a Singer XL-6000 that I use for embroidery and I have a Singer Quantam 9910 that I use for every day sewing. In the past I owned a Husqvarna #1+ . For general sewing, heirloom sewing and lace making, yu can't beat the Husq. I found the Husq a bit harder to use and I HATED the embroidery functions.
The best advice I can give you is to go to a store that caries a vairety of brands and then take some time playing with each one that is within your budget. If the people in the store are "snotty" then go somewhere else. Above all you want to be sure that the store you buy your new machine from ar friendly and helpful and not "Holier than Thou". |
