I have seen them go for 750$ on auction in Minot, ND. I haven't found one yet that I can afford. Will keep looking. My husband and I were in Joann's last night and he said I should get one of the machines they had up front by the door, but of course I didn't look for machines. I was buying fabric for th Moda block and missgigglewings. It will be in the mail tomorrow if I have time.
