I'm new to the board but I just wanted to say I go to Pocono Sew and Vac as well. They sold me my 1st machine-a Janome Dc 3050, and now I have a used Brother qc-1000 on lay away. They are wonderful to work with and have very competitive prices. I have been looking at their embroidery machines on and off, but I doubt I would use it enough to justify the expense.
