Pricing of sit-down machiens vs. stand alone sewing/quilting/embroidery machines
Is it just my imagination or does it seem like the sit-down machines are a lot higher in comparison to the other stand alone sewing machines that can do more than FMQing.
I realize the big sell is the bigger throat space, but aside from that feature seems like buying a bigger throat space 'all-in-one' machine would be more economical.
Not sure if I'm explaining my thoughts clearly.
I've been drooling over the idea of buying a Sweet 16, lowest price I've found is $4995, without the stitch regulator. Pros - FMQ much easier, Cons: doesn't offer any other features.
Babylock Crescendo is $3500-$4000 abouts. Can FMQ and has lots of other features.
Am I looking at this from a clear perspective?
