The best thing to do is to go to a large quilt show and really take a close look at all the DSM that are available and test drive them all. Make a list of what features are necessary and what features would be a plus if the price is right. Dealers at a show make very good deals especially at the end of the show because the boxes have been open so they are used and who really wants to lug all those DSM back to their shop?? Good Luck
