On Long Island - go to 142 Medford Ave., Patchogue - Yesterday I brought my new Brother home(Laura Ashley NX-2000).
It's amazing, and the staff at 112 Sewing Supplies gave me 3 hours of EXCELLENT instruction. They said I can receive unlimited help in operating the machine, and I believe them - they are very professional and want to be of help. Something I did not experience last time I bought a machine somewhere else.
