Thanks all. Oxford..I am in Rochester. My current machine is a Kenmore form 1977! Whoa, oldie! But I won it in a sales contest so my return value has been great. I am trying to keep on a budget and I realize that many machines are not sold at MSRP. I went to a store yesterday and looked at a Janome and Brother.Both have button hole capabilities and 50 to 80 stitches. Around $499. store price. Also a BabyLock but I am not really interested in a serger concept right now. So I guess I am just confused as to which way to go. ha, I am the same way with fabric so I just overbuy to be safe.
