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
I just bought a Brother 1500D Embroidery machine for $Au1,500.
I got all the things that went with it plus heaps of embroidery patterns the owner collected over the years. She even put my Jamome 9,000 patterns onto disc so I can use the too. It can be connected to my computer for more patterns of the internetaswell.
Here in Australia my LQS charges $175 for a full service of the machines plus parts.
