One last thing, I didn't mean for this thread to turn into the Babylock and Brother thread.
My dealings with 2 different Bernina dealers today were interesting to say the least. I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I almost got excited when I found an older Babylock listed on Kijiji today for a very reasonable price until I realized that the throat was too small and the seller was located 4 1/2 hours away by car. :-(
At any rate, I want to thank everyone for their thoughts. I will post whenever I end up with a new machine.
Thanks again,
Lynda
