Hi,

I'm new here and new to quilting. We recently got some money we were not expecting and I'm considering spending some on a new sewing machine, but my budget is small. I currently have a singer that's quite old, mostly plastic, and very basic. I only have a few hundred dollars to spend and I saw this machine at Joanns

Singer Patchwork Sewing Quilting Machine

Does anyone have an experience with this type of machine? Would it work for quilting as well as general sewing - like clothes and things like that? It seems to have a lot of stitches and it comes with the quilting feet - FMQ and walking foot.

Any general advice for features (especially for FMQ) on a small budget? Any general advice on the best brands to look at?

Thanks so much for your help. I'm loving learning how to quilt and Jenny's tutorials and of course the daily deal!
