My husband just finished paying for my Bernina 430 for my graduation this month. I finished my BSN! yay! The machine was used, and cost about $1000. This is almost the same as the 440 QE from Bernina, and retails for about $3200 or so new. Look at these too, even if you are not going to do much FMQ right now, you will probably experiment with it later, and will be happy if you have a machine that will expand with your growing skills.
Congratulations on completing your nursing degree! :-)
