Hubby and I are retired and on a very fixed, fixed income, so being able to afford the 6500 at all was a dream but hubby said to go for it. If I actually only had to pay $7-15 a yr, than it would be a consideration, but that is not how you get to pay for things.
When I win that all evasive lottery, I will buy all my dream machines including a long arm, LOL.

I completely understand where your coming from, wraez, we are on a fixed income too. We have an emergency fund, and hubby had to "dip" for a tree, before it fell on our house, so I figured, now was the right time to bring it up, for me...later down the line, it wouldn't be feasible.
It is a luxury, but I do a lot of sewig, I don't just quilt. Having either one of these, really is a dream. :D
