If you are happy with your present machine, why do you want to change? I have 3 machines different ages. My 40 year old Kenmore is my favorite, but I cannot get a FMQ foot (darning) foot to fit on it. My second favorite is a basic straight stitch Brother that I used almost exclusively for quilting and piecing. I have a Computerized Viking Sapphire with all the bells and whistles that I like for the bells and whistles - different stitches etc - but has never worked well for free motion quilting. So just because it is a good deal may not be a reason to buy it, IMHO.
