Re Amazon - like new .........you know it's not "brand new"....make sure you have a warranty....it may be refurbished by mfgr....or a resale by third party....good luck with purchase. I always buy books from the "used" price list....

Geri B, the listing describes the item "Sold by Amazon" and "New," not "Like New" or used or refurbished. I don't think they can label it as new if it isn't? Dc989, this one does straight stitch only (not even zigzag), and doesn't have the piece that pulls away from the needle area to make it easy to sew a cuff or pant leg (why can't I remember what that's called?!?!!?). Sparky's mom, I think the biggest difference is that the 2000 doesn't have the speed moderator feature that the 2010 has. The 2010 also has a couple more presser feet than the 2000. I would like to have the speed moderator and the 1/4" foot, but the price on the 2010 is so much higher than $574 that I decided to just buy the 1/4" foot separately and learn to "drive" the thing at 5 mph rather than at 1500 stitches per minute!

(Forgot to add, I buy my extra bobbins on ebay.)

Thanks, JustJan. I did check the prices at Kens Sewing but they are a couple of hundred $ more, even for a refurbished machine. And this one is clearly and unambiguously labeled as "new." Thanks for the bobbin tip -- would've been a bit leery of buying them on eBay if not for you and a couple other posters!

I only checked them online. Thanks for your push -- I will call Donna and see what they say. (Should I tell her "JustJan" sent me?) Thanks so much for your help -- I really appreciate it.
-- just called. Unfortunately they can't meet that price or come close enough to it. I really would like to patronize them. They are a terrific company and I will be buying my presser feet and other accessories from them whenever possible.
