I haven't seriously looked at a show. I don't want to be rushed into a decision. I haven't heard from Grace Co. either about local dealers. We keep hearing about buy local for service. I don't mind not doing that for a smaller machine, but, with that amount of $$ would prefer local. I am still curious if Grace opened up a sewing machine manufacturing plant. Or worked with some other big manufacturer on their specs and branding. Like Brother/Babylock, etc.
