I like my Pfaff creative 7510. I do a lot of crafts--I make quilts, purses drapes, etc.--so this machine holds up to heavy fabrics quite well. It also has some basic embroidery stitches (about 48) that are simple to use and always come out nice. My machine is about 10 years old so I don't know whether the model is still made but I am sure there must be an equivalent. This is the sturdiest, best built machine I have ever had and except for cleanings it never needs any work done. I have previously owned Kemores and Singers.

CJ--I forgot to mention that if you do a lot of quitling that the Pfaff also has some features that are nice, particulary the needle down setting that you can use when you want the needle to end down in the fabric when you stop sewing, and the 1/4 " foot, and the light that tells you when the bobbin is running low, and you can thread another bobbin without undoing the thread by using a second spool on the second arm. Happy hunting for your machine!
