oooh 440 owners, i drool over this machine from a distance. i've been coveting this machine since this last january, and saving my pennies for it. i've been 'hinting' strongly to my husband that this would make a great Christmas gift. :)
meanwhile i'm saving my pennies. i WILL have a 440 or up one fine day! :)
i too wish that it had a larger arm space as well as a low bobbin indicator, but for all the rave i've been reading on this machine, i would settle in a heart beat.
i've been watching ebay, and am considering maybe purchasing from there.
i wouldn't get warranty, or classes, but i don't live in an area where i would benefit from these anyways. as much as i would love those classes!
also i noticed that some people have purchased the 440 2-4 years ago, and it's still such a sought after machine. that goes to show that this machine is worth it.
cant' wait until the 440 lives here! :)
