Bernina. if you buy a genuine Bernina it will be the last machine you will ever need. i am a sewing machine mechanic and i work on all brands and i quilt as well as sew all my own clothing. i have owned and sewed on all the brands. has the most precise stitch and there machines have the leased amount of breakdowns or problems. if you buy a cheap singer or other junk you can find at Walmart you will have so much trouble you will end up hating sewing and you wont realize its just your machine that sucks.

I tend to agree to some degree. I too have a Bernina, but I also own 2 Viking sewing machines ( one for working with leather, and one for working with very heavy fabrics, such as denim or canvas. I also own a Pfaff which is VERY good for quilting.
I have thrown out numerous other makes and models. Though I WILL keep my old Singer treadle. : }
