Here in the USA, a Janome 6600 runs $1000-$1500, a Babylock Quest Plus (very similar, but with free arm) about the same. They have a 9" harp and many buttonholes and stitches also. The Janome Horizon has an 11" harp and many high end features for the quilter, at $2500-3000. The Pfaff Quilt Expression 4 is on sale nearby for $1900, but I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for it myself-10" harp. Very good straight stitch only machines with 9" harps by Brother and Juki run $600-900. Dunno if this helps.

Thanks very much. It helps a lot. the Janome 6600 in Adelaide is $2000 and if I trade in my almost new Janome I can get it for $1600. I am going to have a trial sew with it and see how I fare. In Adelaide there are not too many places that stock machines so the few that do have a bit of a monopoly on the market.

Carol, just a reminder that very few machines from N America work in NZ/OZ. I brought a Husqvarna down to NZ with me because it can change from 110V to 220V. I am not sure which others do. I am also very happy with it, I have the sapphire 870 quilt, and it did not break the bank. Check with your quilt guilds and shops for a good 2nd hand machine. Good luck
