Patti I think it's called the "throat" but you are sure in the right part of the body lol. You're welcome. I know my post was a bit long but I wanted to share my recent experience. Best of luck with your new machine.

Be warned. I am BORED.
This could be dangerous.
When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
They are usually 90 degrees.
A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
Mia -- your post was most informative and I appreciate that. I am also in the market for a new machine. I currently have a Babylock "Maria" which I absolutely love, but it is a straight mechanical machine with no bells and whistles and only 10 decorative stitches. I bought it about a year ago when I decided to learn to sew and only spent $250. I was looking at more sophisticated models, but at the time didn't want to invest that much money until I was sure I was going to like sewing. Well, needless to say here we are a year later and I am an official quilt-aholic. What model Babylock do you have? It sounds like the one I've been looking at. Again, I appreciated your very informative post.

Hi Mia
I just read your post about your recent Babylock purchase. If you don't mind me asking, what model did you end up buying? I've looking for awhile and I like the Babylocks the most but I get confused about what would be best for me. The features you mentioned are just what Im looking for. Thanks for your help. Sewsumi
I'm pretty new to quilting, but I did buy a Viking Sapphire 855. It is a very nice machine...probably too much for a beginner, but I won't be a beginner forever. I like all the features and stitches it has, plus all the feet you can buy for it!
Hi ladies,
I looked at almost all of the Babylocks and I didn't want to invest in an ultra expensive embroidery machine. I got the Symphony and so far I love everything about it. I'm so glad to be of help. I know I needed all the help I could get when I was shopping. You do need to go sew on them but friend's experience and opinions are a huge help also.
Hugs

I have a singer confidence 7567, it has suited me for a fair amount of time now. My favorite feature is the drop in bobbin. i hated threading the bobbin on my last sewing machine. The auto tension is also a great plus but that only applies to sewing two pieces of fabric. not necessarily a quilt with batting so much. I have been a bit annoyed with it regarding that aspect. I have bought a 1/4inch seam foot, darning foot, and walking foot.
My newest machine is a Brother Project Runway 5000 that only Walmart sold. It has a lot of features I like it makes wonderful buttonholes and has over 50 decorative stitches. I didn't want an expensive machine or one for embroidery. It sews really great.
i as given a brothercs6000 by my in law after dh passed.. i love this machine... but i would like to upgrade some day... to the fancy... but for this machine is great.... plus i still have two kenmores. and a bratz machine i got a garage ale for my daughter... it make long seams and short seams...

I work in quilt store and we sell Brother and Bernina.
I've owned two Brother machines and love them both. They have a touch screen, which is made by Sony, really nice.
Lot's of stitches, more than I'll ever use in a lifetime, I love the knee lift, when I'm doing applique, etc. I also love the automatic scissors, and easy needle threader. All kinds of feet, as well as bobbin works bobbins, and a circle sewing kit. So many options. Great value for your money.
