I just got the new Tuesday Morning flyer and they are selling a Singer Athena 2009 for $199.99. It's $399.99 on HSN and JoAnns website. I don't know anything about this machine, but may be worth looking at if you are in the market for a very reasonably priced machine.
I found it online at

Maybe other who own it can comment for the benefit of those who are shopping.
