As Candace pointed out, many machines are outsourced, so the argument that we "only" use American or we "only" buy European machines holds no water. There are some really great machines made in China, Taiwan, or where-ever that are high quality and make our quilter hearts soar.
==================
I don't mind Taiwan, but I won't if I can get away with it buy Chinese. I won't support their government. Nor do I care with all the hubbub of lead poisoning trust their safety standards.
