Check out AllBrands.com for machines in that price range. They really stand behind their machines and last time I bought from there, I had it in hand in 3 days!! I bought a refurbished machine at a really good price & it's still going strong six yrs later! I use it for my spare as I saved up & bought an Innov'is 2000 so I could do bigger quilts. Both of mine are Brothers. Great machines!!
