There is a yahoo group that can help locate parts etc, too. I bought a Studio from a quilting friend that used it for years, and she passed away before I ever opened it. I was just talking about it Saturday night! There are several classes on Craftsy now on how to use them, so that may be a help if you do get one. There are so many hobbies, so little time lol! If you decide what you are looking for, I'd be happy to part with mine- memories too painful. PM if interested. I'm in Florida. They are very heavy! I'd have to dig it out and see what the model is etc, but do your research!
