Janome is my favorite. I have a simple one but insisted it have a needle down feature. That is definitely needed for a quilter. The one I use the most is a Singer Futura. I love it. It is just too heavy to cart to guilds and classes and such.

I have a three week old Brother that cost lots and lots of $ and I am having a lot of trouble with it. Bobbin is constantly jamming up. A birdsnest big enough for a crow to live in. Forever cleaning it out and am taking it for repairs for the second time. Believe me, it will be the last time I will take it in. The next time it happens or if it ever happens again, I will be leaving the shop with my money back. Will go back to my 47 year old Kenmore. I wanted an embroidery machine so so so badly but I am having trouble with basic sewing. SO MAD!!!

I am so glad to see that I am not alone in having more than one machine (I won't say how many). Each one has its use. I have a Viking, Kenmore and Brother as well as a Viking serger. Am not great at my hobbies but I do enjoy and like what I do.

My main machine is my beloved Janome 6600---workshop machine is another Janome Platinum (nice and light and a work horse :). I also have a Featherweight, 2 other Singers (one is my very first machine my parents bought me when I was 15 years old----a LONG time ago) and I have my grandmother's treadle Singer sewing machine. I love them all :)
