I don't think they will be as much as the dealer. HSN usually has a special package that isn't sold elsewhere. I have bought two high end machines from HSN . What I like is I can sew on them non stop for 30 days and send back with no problem if something isn't right. I haven't found a dealer to do that. I didn't need how to use lesssons as I had the type of machine before and the dealer is happy to do maint. on it. He won't turn down money just because I didn't buy it from him. It's a great option for anyone that isn't close to a dealer or doesn't need how to sew on the machine lessons.
