You can also ask your Bernina dealer for used machines as most take machines in trade in and then re-sell them.<br /><br />Another option is the sewitsforsale Yahoo group - I've purchased 3 machines from sellers on this group and couldn't be happier. One is Babylock Quest 2, which is similar to the Janome with the 9" harp. Got the machine for $600 and it is like new...it's great to free motion quilt on due to the large space. Good luck!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853704094255270171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752969130968278036.post-54361314915449629662012-09-20T13:20:54.231-04:002012-09-20T13:20:54.231-04:00Love this post.

What hefty price tags on some of them, I couldn't imagine spending that much on a sewing machine! <br />I hope you see some that you like that are in your price range and you actually get to try some out. It's hard to buy a machine when you cant see it in person! I hear the Janome horizon is really popular =DCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401901024509719512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752969130968278036.post-12157487645815890432012-09-16T14:36:04.481-04:002012-09-16T14:36:04.481-04:00Good luck on your hunt!

Interestingly someone recently posted on their blog about their machine hunt and had been told that Brother do all the electronics etc for another company - that Crescendo looks exactly the same as my NX2000, and I'm sure the Brothers had the cheaper price tag...Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752969130968278036.post-27051819111942314412012-09-16T14:35:44.018-04:002012-09-16T14:35:44.018-04:00No doubt about it... sewing machines are expensive...No doubt about it... sewing machines are expensive. Hopefully at the Sewing Summit, you'll come across some really good deals as none of the vendors want to cart unsold machines home.<br /><br />Good idea to check out models and prices before you go to the Sewing Summit... so you'll know what to look for and what a good deal.Impera Magnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889488057400766469noreply@blogger.com
