    Find out what you can afford first. There are quite a few sewing machines that are good and practical for a biginner. I started out with a singer from walmart that my DH bought me for xmas one year, and 4 years later he bought me a janome. I knew what I wanted by that time and was able to really get what I wanted in a machine. Still not sure if we could afford it or not but DH gave me no choice. :D Hope this helped. Have fun shopping...


    ps plus now I have 2 working sewing machine and I can do 2 things at once. did not realize how nice that is.

    pps great job on your 1st quilt looks awesome. :thumbup:

    walmart has a brother SQ9000 machine that comes with a 1/4" foot and a walking foot everything you could want under $300. Here is a website that will tell you everything about the machine.

    At Walmart.com $199.97, in store could be different.
    This item is being discontinued. Availability is limited.

    You are going to be a terrific, dedicated quilter. You worked hard on that quilt and completed something that is so nice. Keep it up.
