I used to work in a sewing machine/fabric store and it is unfortunate when a person brings in a $100 machine for repairs that are going to cost $80 and may or may not last. That, for me would be a key consideration. For an additional $50 a person can get a new machine with a great warranty that will provide a great deal of pleasure to work with.
