That puts it in my price range. Does it have to go on a frame? Do people usually use it with a quilting frame?
Whoever said the dealers don't have it all was right. They'd point me at a snazzy high-end Janome or Pfaff or Bernina and for those prices why not go all the way and get a long-arm? I guess that's the sweet spot for profits on sewing machines.
thanks for the suggestion
