The reason JAF is saleing them is they are clearing out their stock as they will no longer be carrying them. Accuquilt has decided to only sell through approved independent retailers (ie. quilt shops) and on the Accuquilt website. No one else will be allowed to carry their products. They are also clearing out all GO Baby and carriers as I believe they will not be making them in the future and will concentrate on the Studio, Go Cutter and Go Big machines. Anything JAF has will be sale priced and cleared and once it is gone it is gone, they will not be able to order in the future.
