I have all my pennies squared away and I am now looking to find the best possible bang for my buck. I have heard that $5999 is the going rate but I am hoping to come in under that. A 'classroom' or 'showroom' model is just fine with me. Does anyone know where I can get a good price? ------ I think every machine company has something great to offer.

Date: 11/18/12 7:21 AM Thanks! I don't mind traveling if the incentive is enough I have to do that anyways since there isn't a good dealer near me. ------ I think every machine company has something great to offer. Vintage or cutting edge - everyone has its place! |

Date: 11/19/12 4:20 PM Dawnabbey, I don't know of anyone selling at a discount but Brother just announced their "Black Friday" sale. For this model they are offering a nice financing option. You can find out more from their main website.
I am trying to talk Hubby into this model too :) |

Date: 11/24/12 3:45 PM Margaux Rose: I changed my mind about the machine LOL! I wound up getting the Pfaff Creative Performance for $4500 all in (taxes, shipping and large embroidery unit). The $1500 price difference wasn't the only thing, there were several key features of the Pfaff that I liked and the harp space was enough for me. I just, somehow felt more comfortable with the Pfaff than the Brother which is odd because I own 2 other Brother machines. At any rate, my dealer also sells Brother and $5900 is pretty much the bottom rate we will see. I hope this helps!
