I have a Bernina 830, a Viking Quilter and a Singer XL6000, if I could buy another machine I would want another Singer XL6000, unfortunally they are not making them anymore. It is by far my favorite machine, it not only does embroidery, but has the nicest sewing stitch of all my machines. You might be able to find a used on for that amount of money, but I know servicing them is a problem, you would have to send it in.
