The directional stitching got me thinking about this. Not top of the line machines but a general "workhorse" machine that can handle most tasks but not auto-embroidery. Not junior, starter or lightweight either. Something you plan to use and keep for a long time.
Here's a few of mine. Please add yours:
- free arm
- strong penetration
- minimum 7-9 mm stitch width
- precision, quick to change feet
- needle stop, up or down
