WHY??

[sewsoft]

In the past when I was shopping for a sewing machine I looked at Pfaff quilting machine hubby laughed at the price. I thought it was good because it had the made on walking foot. So I looked lower at Singer and said no because they did not seem to run as well as the older singers did. A sewing machine distributor did not advise me to purchase one. So I tried Brother and went with a fast little zippy portable sewing/ embroidery machine. I started sewing a quilt together the other day and about pulled my hair out.... I had all of the layers pinned really good then I started sewing and got to the other end of the quilt I had to take pins out to finish sewing because the layers weren't sewing together at the same rate. How awful !! I don't know much about Janome machines. I like the look but not price tag of Bernina. hmmmm. Do I get another machine or work with what I have? Also the arm is very short and not much room to roll the quilt on the machine to sew it, I did a small lap quilt. My mom a wonderful sewer says it's not worth paying a big price tag for all that stuff on the machine that's not really necessary to her. I know but it's nice for the machine to cut the thread,tell me when the bobbin is low or my needle is no longer threaded,or thread the needle for me
