Remember also that when buying from a dealer you always have a service guy in house. Also, our local dealer gives you one on one sittings on "how to" on your particular machines, new or used.
Where do you take a machine bought from WalMart if it needs repair? Ship it somewhere?

I've bought several used machines, either at thrift stores or a dealer. The last one I bought at the local Humane Society thrift store for $10.00, sews just fine, never had any problems with it. I got it serviced last year because it was getting a little loud, now it just purrs along. Definitely, I would recommend thrift stores or dealers, you'll most likely get a much better made machine for a whole lot less money.

you can find some really advanced sewing machines on ebay for good prices...sometimes an experienced machine is the way to go...I have bought 2 embroidery machines on ebay and have had no probalems...go to the ones from a dealer like Allbrands, (sometimes free shipping and Kens sewing center in Ala...they are so good and A+ place to deal with...

Several of my quilting friends have the Brother CS-6000i which can be purchased at Walmart on line for $147. S&H is free if you pick it up at your local store. It weighs under 20lb & has many nice features for quilters

Good luck.
