Quilting Thread

What kind of sewing machine do you use?

I want to start sewing again and I am looking to buy a machine sewing. I have not touched one since 8th grade Home Economics (which was 14 years ago!) Is there a particular brand, which are more reliable than others? Besides, I like to start quilting time, so there is a feature to look if I want a blanket? I do not need a machine that embroiders … just something a little basic, easy to don, and reliable. What would you recommend to everyone?

I use a Brother LS 1520 that I had Walmart. It has served me well over the last 5 years and I started with a little padding. This is the machine I have. I paid only $ 89 for http://cgi.ebay.com/Brother-Sewing-Machine-LS-1520-w-Warranty_W0QQitemZ160215600973QQcmdZViewItem And here is the Brother site http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC / public/us/us_ot/en/model_top/HomeSewingMachine/hf_ls1520eus.html? reg = us & c = us_ot & lang = en & prod = hf_ls1520eus Mines need to be lubricated every time I use it (That's what you have to do too:) and the switch from time to time, but it is a very good machine. On Sunday, I used to sew patches on my husband, pants motorcycle safely. I also pushed very hard for 3 dresses in a week (the bride and dresses for Lady Flower Girl). Unfortunately, he begins to feel that they need to replace some years. All sew, I worked in (2) used to be OLD (old) Singer or Brother. All new machines are always Brother. Good luck Have fun choosing your machine. Whatever your choice, be sure to review the manual before starting. This makes things much easier:)
