The salesman said to me, "never get rid of this one, it will always be worth what you are paying for it". Now, I've had a few more machines since that I used a lot, but I still have that first one, and I still use it sometimes, and from what I see, it is still worth what I paid for it. But I WOULD like to know what $10000 gets you.
Go to a sewing machine dealer and see what $10000 gets you. I was astounded by what these machines do now. And my machine was only 11 or 12 years old... The new machines are amazing and what I guess is most important is that you're not limited creatively. You can DO anything on them.
