I'm with Tartan, go for it, I bought an embroidery machine on sale for $4200 and I love it. It's only money and you can't take it with you. I work for it, and I wanted it and I bought it and I PLAY with it. Did I mention I LOVE this Brother machine I also have a collection of sewing machine but my heart is my featherweight that I use all the time to sew and I have a quilting machine.
