This one online usually sells for $600 to $900, depending on who you buy it from. It would probably be closer to or over the $900 if you buy from a dealer. I was going to buy from Allbrands...they had one for $599, but I found a reconditioned one for $499 with free shipping. It has a 30 day return option and comes with the 25 yr warrenty.
Do most of you buy your thread online? I was looking on ebay at the poly threads for embroidery. If I was sure the thread would work in my machine, I would like to buy a good size set. Anyone have a suggestion there? Also thinking I will need extra bobbins. I'm going to the Dallas quilt show Friday, so I may be able to talk to a dealer there about what works and what doesn't work.
