nvb50 - I have a Husqvarna Topaz 30, (they came out with the Ruby 3 months after I bought mine). i'm kicking myself I didn't wait, as I've had all kinds of trouble with my machine. Free motion quilting is not trouble free, and the embroidery (scissor mechanism) keeps getting the thread looped around the scissors and jamming. Are you having NO trouble with the Ruby? I'm thinking of trading up but wonder if it's worth it. I love my old Pfaff but not an embroidery machine.
