I only paid $1,200 for the machine 5 years ago because it was used. I have had it serviced before and I think it was under $100 to have it done.
This quilt shop that I went to had used machines starting at $3,000! For a used machine?! Ummm, no thanks! LOL I can go online and find refurbished machines a lot cheaper and new ones less than the costs of their used.
I guess I just learned a lesson, a costly one but I learned. It does have a 90 warranty on what they fixed. Oh yippee! LOL
