Too right! I got a brand-new Innova on a 12' frame 3 years ago for $7,000 (boy do I love her!!!) and last summer I bought a used (very lightly) Bernina sewing/embroidery machine with multiple hoops, over 50 DVDs of patterns, thread, and table with the flip-up on the back of the table to make it twice as big for $500. I only use the Bernina for embroidery because I bought a Jamone Quilter's Companion 2 years ago for $650 (list was $1,200) from a lady who won it in a shop hop and she didn't want it (it was still in the box!). I just "fell" into all of these machines, but I didn't hesitate when the deals were there. Yeah, I was fortunate to have some cash from the sale of my house, but my LA enabled me to start my own business working from home and I love it!!!
