QuiltyDawn@msquebanh not sure what your upper $ limit is, but lower end Brother machines have a good reputation and good features. The Brother SQ9285 is $200 on the Walmart website and has a push-button start/stop feature and slider speed control. I started on a similar-but-more-basic machine, and it still sews well. Not strong enough for a lot of heavy fabric sewing though.
@QuiltyDawn My max is $400. I appreciate the info & recommendation. Thanks!
@msquebanh yeah, at that price, a Brother or possibly a Juki machine would be your best bet. The higher end names--Bernina, Janome--don't have the computerized features at that price point, which you need for the push button start/stop and speed control. I really like Brothers.
@QuiltyDawn I'm leaning towards Brother because you & a few others have recommended them 😊
