I would go on line to my local store that actually post pics and prices and ships their machines, new and used. They will answer questions, etc but still be there. I've seen them ship across country because the buyer said it was cheaper paying the shipping than paying the price where she was on the west coast. By the way, I only shop and take classes at this store so I get nothing from them except for the satisfaction of passing on a great shop. It's Bella's Fabric in Suffolk VA.
