    Default New Sewing Machine? Brother Dream Creator

    Hello all ...

    I currently have the Topaz 30 by Husqvarna /Viking. I've loved it for the last 4 years, but in the last 18 months it has been in the shop more often than not (the auto cut doesn't work, and they can't seem to fix it.

    I've been looking at he dream creator by Brother, but can't find a price range

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    On google I found a link where the regular price is about $8000 and the sale price is $4900. I googled "Topaz 30 by Husqvarna /Viking price". Hope this helps.

    I don't know anything about this place. I am not affiliated nor have I ever bought from them. But it does give a price as a place for you to start.

    Good luck. I love my Brother machines, although I don't have that one.

    I found one for sale on eBay for $4,500 and free shipping:

    You may be able to find a price range by searching through patternreview.com . Unfortunately, their reviews are categorized by brand only (Brother), so there are many many pages you would need to scroll through to find all of the reviews for that machine. However, the reviews typically include price paid information, so it could be worth your time. Just on a brief scan, I found this review that says she paid about $3,000 for it (but some time ago):

    Kitsie, thanks! I have the Topaz LOL so I know how much that one cost (more than the brother 5 years ago!)

    Thanks for those links, I didn't come across those in my search.

    Funny, when I search on ebay.ca I get nothing LOL

    I figured it was about $5K just wanted to have a better idea. I will probably trade my topaz in to get some money back!!!!

    It should be in the high 4k range for the combo and low 3k range for sewing only
