Went and looked at machines. I like the PFAFF Creative 2.0.
Price isn't bad either, and if I wait a month to get a 20% discount even better.
I looked at BabyLock and Viking also - didn't really care for them.
So figure I can start out with the Creative 2.0 and later upgrade to a 4.0 or Creative Vision as they are about double the price of the 2.0 which is approx $1560. Waiting till the third Sat in June will give me a 20% off of that.
