Sewing machine recommendations

TestKnit

Hi peeps,

So, not a quilter, but an amateur seamstress. I got into sewing relatively recently (about 2 years) and my sewing machine died. It was one of those purple detailed, toy machines. Nobody wants to repair it, as technicians can't find the pieces for it, and they're... cheaply made to put it lightly. So, it's come to it. I need a real, domestic machine!

Except, I have no idea how to research it! So, I imagine perhaps you might have some recommendations for me as quilters! Do you machine sew? What do you think of your machine?

Please help!

Hello
I'm a professional quilter, since 2005! I tried a lot of sewing machine, from Brother to Singer (probably the most recommended for the European amateur tailors). The brother one is my best friend, and now I’ve given it to my daughter for her creative projects. Two year ago I purchased this quilt machine: pfaff quilt expression 720
It comes with lots of automated features and a great built-in computer. Surprisingly, I’ve been really happy with it. Sure, it’s pretty expensive for a beginner (about 2000 euros), but you can count on great results.
