Thank you Mdaniels and Prism99 for your replies. We have only one local sewing machine shop where I live and they are currently offering this machine on sale. I see from Katie's Corner that it is most likely made by Handiquilter for Pfaff. I'm not so sure I would want this kind of machine for quilting, but since I don't have space for a longarm, I thought it may be a good alternative. Katie seems to be pleased with her Powerquilter, but I can't find any new updated info from her. Thanks again! I'm not in a hurry so will look at other options as well.
