I live in Canada. So add duty etc as well as the extra shipping cost. Way to much work.
I love the 620. I have had it for about 3 years. It has done so very much. Easy to use. I have been doing machine embroidery for more than 17 years. I would love a bigger hoop ( jacket back) I have probably done close to half that in a month. It was on sale for 8000 when I got it. It has been worth every penny. I have probably done 8000 pieces on it, making it economical.
The technology hasn't changed much. Probably the USB upgraded. But basically the same machine they make now.
