I have a Janome 350....it was about $1500 if I recall correctly. There's also a Brother (?770?) that's a bit less, maybe $8-900 or so (maybe less, I really haven't priced them). You can also get one of the Singer ones (I have an old Singer Futura CE-150 as well) for about $600 or so. They're good machines but have a steep learning curve and lots of idiosyncracies peculiar to that system. So the cost pretty much runs whatever you're willing to pay. Also look into a used one...sometimes you can find a good deal. Hope this helps a bit!
