    Smile Looking for a new machine.

    Hi everyone. I am new to this quilting board.(any quilting board for that matter) and would like to know if anyone has any advise for me no purchasing a quilting/sewing/embroidery machine.
    I currently sew on an old Pfaff that I have had since 1983. I learned to sew on a Singer treddle machine way back in the 4-H days.
    I want to really update myself as I my interest in sewing has been reignighted.
    I have been looking closely at the Brother Dreamweaver and the Baby Lock Unity. Is there any measurable difference? I know they are manufactured by the same company. I would really appreciate some advise from those of you that have more experience on these machines. I have not done embroidery before but really want to get into it.
    Thanks

    Hello and welcome from Texas. I would recommend test driving several to get a feel for what you want to do. I love my janome which does all that you want to do.
