Pam, That's a good deal for the machine and frame. See if you can try one out, before you purchase it. They do take quite a bit of practice to become good at, so keep that in mind. I found, I wasn't as good at it as I'd like to have been. So, I computerized mine. You would be able to do the same with the Lizzie. But the computerized system upgrade is almost as costly as the Lizzie itself.
