mr peacock is right on target!
my wife has sewed for 40 years, she has had a singer viking/huskvarna,phaff/and janome. the viking and janome are the present one's in her shop. she does quilts and clothes both. you do need a no. to go for becasue they cost as much and more than saws :eek: if you havnt looked before you will be shocked but i also agree you need to get her opinion. and i am sure she has one you just need her to say it take her along and go to more than one brand and actually set down and have her use it herself. bobbins, tension control, the way it threads the needle, all are things that she needs to look at. and only her can pick it. your choice wont doo!!! unless your real lucky. there again compare it to a table saw do you want her to get you one or do you want pick it out? good luck my last adventure cost me 3800.00 but she is still smilin every time it starts up. when she is happy i am happy :D
