Hi
That is exactly how I ended up purchasing my CG550! What had happened was all the machines that they had for that sale price were sold, so they gave me the CG550 plus the ruffle attachment, walking foot, and 3 or 4 more feet for the low price of $250. This is the older CG550 which is all metal, not plastic. I have sewn leather with mine, in fact I made a tool roll for my carving knives. I used thick leather as my carving tools are extremely sharp!
In closing I was pleasantly surprised with the deal, and if they come back here that is when I will purchase a serger!
