Check out your local sewing machine dealers as others have said they have good trade ins and usually have a warranty to go with them. The store where I bought my Pfaff Performance 5.0 has several stores and sells display and classroom models at great prices. Although I bought new there was a Pfaff with embroidery that was from a class and was high priced. I viewed Youtube videos of machines I looked at and then made my decision for what would be best fit for me. Happy shopping.
