I vote that you get them new ones and from someplace local to you. Overstock and Ebay are great for bargain hunters but very frustrating when something goes wrong with the machine and it is supposed to be under warranty. What will they do then? Pack it up and ship it off at their own expense only to find out that they were using the wrong needle or thread for the project? I am a firm believer in supporting the local economy whenever possible and getting support on purchases such as these.
