I've been making quilts using a White sewing machine. I think I'm now ready to take the plunge and buy a much better machine. My local machine shop has a Vikimg Sapphire 850 on clrerance for $1299. I can also get an intergrated sewing platform for half off for $600. So my total cost would be $1899 plus tax. He's giving a tax credit until April 16th that I can use for sewing supplies or accessories.
I would really like to strat machine wuiltining. I've been trying it on my White and it's not easy to move the fabric through the throat.
Is this price a good deal? it seems like it to me.
