I'm having to save for my dream machine...a Brother Laura Ashley Special Edition Innov-is NX-2000. My DH's first reaction was that we could get a pretty good used car for what I'm going to pay for this. Now they have a new line that's even more expensive! I've been saving for 9 months already & have basically half what I need. I see a lot of people buying the cheaper machines, but high end ones I can see where there'd be a slow down right now economically. I'm having a hard time affording it myself, but want to quilt my own quilts.
