I just ordered a Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 from my local Joanne's store. They are closing out the model and it was selling for 399.99 and I get 2 classes that are 2 hours long with it. They didn't have any in stock. When the lady rang it up, it was a 999.99 machine. It has mixed reviews too and I have been a Sears Kenmore fan but, like someone said earlier, they don't make them anymore. A Brother machine from Joann's online was my other choice.
