I bought the Jane with an Imperial table so dont know what the machine alone costs. It is a primitive machine with no bells and whistles. It is the same machine as the Brother 1500. Strait stitch only with a complicated threading but a stitch regulator can be added when on a frame. The throat is only 9 inchs and it has an under the machine bobbin case which I hate.
Just wish I could afford a long arm machine instead because this machine is a hassle to use with a table. Constantly having to move from the back of the machine to the front and it runs out of bobbin thread fast when quilting on a table.
