Thank you so much for all your advice. It is actually a Bernina credit card financed through GE, and you put the machine on that credit card. I have not received the actual statement yet. I told the sales person that 4 weeks is the maximum I would wait and if the machine is not here by mid March, I will cancel the order and cancel the credit card.
I read on another board that some people who purchased in December were told the 700 series will come in mid March as well. I have a feeling my promised machine will be going to them first. I will check out the Yahoo board. Thanks again.
