DG, you are off on your prices. The new ones seem to be in the $11,000 range and Baby Lock is not far behind. OK, so Baby Lock doesn't have the even feed foot so critical for free motion work; but, what the heck. (You see, I have paid attention to things my wife tells me.)
One of her machines is also a Bernina from the 90s as her's is the last mechanical stitch construction machine they made before they went to all computer control. As I remember in the 90s they went through about 3 or 4 changes and each required you to buy new feet (sorry Daffy, not that kind of feet.)
My wife does enjoy her embroidery machines, sewing machines, embellisher, blind hemmer, serger, and some that I am not sure I want to know about.
For me, the cell phone and computer.
