My sewing machine is history!
#101
Hi, I bought a babylock last winter and really like it. It is very quiet ( we have a small home and the sewing room is right over our bedroom)so it helps when the early bird strikes and I am sewing while dh is sleeping.
That being said, Consumer Reports rates sewing machines, they consistently rate the Brother Project Runway machine very high. Maybe you are speaking of a long arm, of which I know nothing, but happy machine hunting!

I have a Singer 7470, It does everything but dance. The more I use it, the more I am convinced it's not the best thing for quilting. My straight stitch looks more like a design type stitch. Had a regular repairman work on it and it's just not the same. Guess I need to get it to a Singer dealer. I MUCH perfer my old Kenmore {Sears brand}, It's quiet and runs well, but----IT needs work too. Today is my birthday and I refuse to worry about mine--GOOD LUCK finding your machine!!!

My Singer that i loved so much went out last week. i was so upset. My son informed me he was getting me a new machine for xmas. So after a lot of research i bought a Viking Emeral 118. I love it it has a lot of nice features...Also I was told the Singer has plastic gears. The Viking gears are medal. Just thought I would pass this on.........Good luck shopping.
