Oh well, might have to go on a weekend trip, heehee!
Thats a bummer, make sure you take a notebook so you can jot down what you like and don't like in the machines you try out. Everything as pros and cons, and everyone has different brands and models they love. If you have a good budget the babylock crescendo/ brother dreamweaver really are amazing machines. and I recommend demo at least one, they are essentially the same but brother has the my custome stitch feature. They are quite pricey but well worth the extra money IMHO. The straight stitch brother and jukis are also very popular as is the juki F-600 if I didn't have my baby I would have eventually looked into one of these for FMQ as well but dreamy won me over hands down
