My friend just totaled her car, (she's fine) but went through the mill trying to find a replacement. She finally decided to buy used and just wait this out.
I got an email from my quilt shop today, and they are now stocked with Babylock, Elna and Handi quilter..by appointment only..but they have them in stock now.
I think the shortages we're seeing now are from last April and May..now with the whole country(just about) going through tough times and rising cases, I think more shortages (and maybe even worse) are in our future. We're in this for the long haul, I'm afraid.
