saving up is a good plan, that is how I've paid for all my machines. are you on the facebook group Pacific Northwest Quilters? There is a sister group Pacific Northwest Quilters Advertising, they come up on there ever so often, that's where I sold mine. You could put up a wanted ad on the advert one. I've actually sold four machines on there as my sight has continued to fail. I've also bartered for fabric, always fun.
