I am going to look at a brother nouvelle 1500 with a handy quilter. and a custom made table. Would this be a good starter machine for me to learn on? Also anyone have any idea the cost of the machine? It is appx 2 yrs old and hardly used. Any help or ideas on what to look for would be great. Thanks in advance.

You mean to start machine quilting? (Not piecing.)
Found this website with a little blurb in the last paragraph:

I would think under $600 for the machine.
Keep in mind a 9" throat is fairly limiting for machine quilting. This would be a starter type of setup.

I've had a Brother 1500S for about 8 years now and although originally purchased for a frame setup I now use it exclusively for piecing and table top machine quilting. It's fast and does a lovely straight stitch.

Prism 99 yes for machine quilting. I thought if it was a good one to learn more than SID and straight line quilting it would let me see if that is something I would like to do.
Thanks ladies I knew I could count on you.
