Janome 900CPX will be an ideal tool for those who want to put in long hours of sewing. However it is not the most feature packed cover stitch machine around.

Brother 2340CV is one of the best cover stitch machines around. Its stitch quality is something that I was really impressed with. However there is no free arm.

SiRUBA HSO-747D is an affordable serger with some nice features. It does a good job. It has a powerful motor and even comes with free arm feature.

Singer 14T968DC will be an ideal serger for those who want overlock and cover stitch option in a single machine. The stitches have a professional finish. 

There is no question about the quality of Juki MO654DE. It is a champion performer. The stitch quality is excellent. However it misses out on a free arm. 

Singer 14J250 Stylist II Serger is one of the popular models in US. Its performance over denim is very impressive. However it lacks a free arm.

Laura Ashley CX155LA is a value for money package. It has very good variety of stitches to choose from. The included accessory package is also very good.

Brother PE540D is an excellent embroidery machine. The additional 35 Disney designs make it even more special. But the embroidery area is slightly small for professionals.

Singer SEQS-6000 is feature packed and has a large embroidery area. It comes with 2 hoops as well. However, the machine requires a slight learning curve. 

Singer S16 is designed for sewing straight stitches and it does a pretty good job at it. We are really impressed with its fast sewing and consistent stitches.

Singer S10 has good features and its embroidery quality is excellent. It also comes with lot of accessories. But It misses out on needle position button.

Singer 2263 is a good beginners sewing machine. However, I felt couple of extra features would have made this machine perfect.
