At this time it depends on how soon you want a
machine - for the new TOL I would expect to see a price somewhere in the
$7500 -
8200 ball park (and I may be completely wrong).
And I assume that doesn't include their proprietary s/w embroidery
editing package, or anything extra in terms of special feet,
different-sized hoops, etc.? I assume they give you some feet and hoops
with the machine but perhaps not everything I'd want.
I may be wrong, it's been so long since I bought my old Viking, but I
dimly remember dickering with the salespeople and getting a discount,
like buying a car.
Where's a good website to buy machine embroidery thread BTW?
As I said, my old Viking is perfectly functional, though not
top-of-the-line in its time. Is there any convenience to having one
machine set up for sewing and another for embroidery, considering I
already have one just for sewing? I'm already wondering if, when I
upgrade my computer, I should be putting my old one in the sewing room,
considering I've always had my sewing room separate from my office and
am likely to continue to want things that way.
Thanks,
Fran
I generally don't care much for the HV designs, although occasionally there
are some nice ones. They tend to be pricey relative to the competition. If
you get a machine I would recommend looking at Embroidery Library. They
have
attractive, well-digitized designs, and they run sales fairly frequently.
To bring it back to a historic perspective, they have some nice blackwork
and
Jacobean designs (although they're getting a bit far out of typical Jacobean
patterns based on their latest Jacobean sea creatures).
Hope that helps,
Nancy
