I remember when my hubby was looking around a quilt shop while I was purchasing some fabric. He looked at some Bernina's. Would you like one of these? Sure, you got $3000-6000 lying around. I almostbhad to pick him up off the floor. He had no clue what an high end machine cost. Won't even say what he said when we looked at a long arm at Quiltfest. :-)
