OH yes Sheri, I know the feeling. I want to get a good sewing cabinet at a fair price that will hold the machine and serger. Any place that would have several choices would by at least an hour or 3 hour drive and then I wouldn't know what stores to go to. Good prices on the net for exactly what I want it a dream. Need to know stores that have sales and prices to see to order it. Another dream I guess.

I also hate that, when you are on a limited budget, I don't want sticker shock, some are like buying a small car. Sorry, I don't have 7-8,000 to spend on a sewing machine

Are you kidding "How would this person think she got a better deal then that person" Has to be a secret

Good for you Bella, At least you did get a good machine. I have a BabyLock and love it but my dealer sells the one you bought and I see girls doing classes with them and they seem to be very nice and the girls are happy with them. I too hope you went and told the other dealer you got a better one anyway and thank her for making you walk out. LOL

I like to know the price as well. It really bugs me to look at a machine with all the bells and whistles and then have no idea what the price is. Some of us are on a budget and would prefer to look at machines within the budgeted amount.

I agree with you. Actually, I was looking at a Pfaff a few years ago and the closest store was about almost an hour away. I told the salesperson I wasn't going to drive that distance to find out the machine was out of my price range. After a few minutes of chatting, I finally got a general pricing out of her, which was out of my range.

I think they figure if they get you into the store, they have you.

Our local Babylock dealer has prices on all their machines which is nice.

When I was in the market for a new machine I went to a large quilt show and all the machine vendors were there. I researched several brands and their prices before buying a machine in my area.

I think things should be priced; if I go to even a garage sale and they are too busy to ask- it stays!!! It has to be something extra special for me to stick around to ask prices - and I don't haggle in price for long - it is either reasonable or forget it -
