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.
