		<description><![CDATA[I wasn’t sure about tackling a review of the Brother PQ1500S High Speed Quilting and Sewing machine. I mean, it’s not exactly your standard starter option. It’s meant for serious quilters but some of the features have much broader appeal and based on some of the questions I get, those just starting out may be taking on projects that would benefit from the power, speed, and size of this machine.

This is also one of the most affordable, nearly industrial - yet still portable - quilting machines you can buy and the price just keeps getting better. It’s a twin to the Juki TL98Q with some small differences yet at a considerable discount.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a popular question these days:  How do the Brother CP7500, CP6500 and the CS6000i sewing machines compare to each other?  The features seem so close that it's hard to tell if one is better than another.  

The good news is that you almost can't go wrong here.  All three have great ratings and offer excellent value for the price (ALL three are under $200!) but one gives you just a bit more for your money.  (Surprise ending up ahead:  the better bargain is probably NOT the one you thought it was!)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Want a really good deal for under $200?  Add the Brother CP7500 sewing machine to your short list.  The rounded styling and pink trim are just the pretty icing on an incredibly functional, computerized piece of cake.

Come December, this one is sure to be a holiday favorite.  The model is comparably priced to the manufacturer’s most popular model, the CS6000i, and matches it in every way but with an added bonus of 10 additional decorative stitches.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Compare the Brother PE770, Brother PE780D and the Janome MC300E and find out which of these machines offers you the best combination of price and features.  

Earlier this week, a sweet woman who visits this blog asked for some advice.  She's in the market for an embroidery machine she can use to create finished goods that she'll be selling.  

There were three embroidery-only machines that cost under $1000 but the lowest priced option was almost $350 less than the most expensive.  Now more than ever, people are watching their pennies so of course we want to know if the lowest priced machine is really a bargain or are there features on the more expensive models that are worth the added cost?]]></description>

Users love the easy controls and feature set.  The high marks from other users mean we might have finally found a Singer option that reminds us why this manufacturer was the standard for home sewing machines for as long as it was.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sturdy base and boxy construction of the Singer 4411 Heavy Duty sewing machine are reminiscent of reliable machines we’re used to seeing from this manufacturer and it’s not just subliminal.

This machine does something special.  It mixes some of the must-haves of today’s home sewing machines with power like a commercial machine so that hobbyists who need speed and strength in a light weight unit can have it without spending loads of money.]]></description>
