Newbie Quilter
Hi Everyone, I'm brand new to quilting. I own an old singer (got it 40 years ago!) and have been sewing now and again over the years but would love to give quilting a try. I want to buy a new machine and have been looking at the Janome Skyline S5. I was offered one today for $900 or an Elna Excellence 680 for the same price. Does this seem about right, I see the mrp is $1500. Also, I had never heard of Elna until today but understand the Swiss company was taken over by Janome and it is just the cover of the machines that differ. Can anyone offer me any advice? I'm from across the pond hence why I'm asking if the price i was quoted seems reasonable. Thanks in advance for any help.
