Starting tomorrow (Sept 2) Hancock Fabrics is selling the Quartet for $699.99. Comes with an extension table and lots of extras. Regular price is $899.99.
I hope to be there right when the store opens so I can get one at that price. It's less than what I paid for my stand alone embroidery machine. One of the attractions of this machine is the larger hoop size. The machine I have now has a maximum field of 5" x 7", although I did get a repositional hoop for it.
