Default Can you help?

I have gotten my feet wet in the embroidery business because a friend has recently opened a shop. I am presently looking for a machine of my own to create some fun things for her shop. (Things she has not had time to do since opening - she is extremely busy!) Anyway, I found this machine on ebay and have no idea if it may be worth my while. Just wanted some input from all you professionals out there!

I'm not familiar with this particular machine but I wouldn't buy any embroidery machine without seeing it run (caps and flats) and checking the quality of the embroidery unless I was buying it for parts.

Wow I hear the same from Ford Vans and I drive one maybe I should return it. Unless you run one of these machine please have something to backup your comments. I dont own one but also looking at purchasing one from Ebay. So far I have heard and seen lots of good things. It seems to be just like when SWF came out we heard the same thing its China made and must be crap well guess what all them are China made.

Thanks...

wow, is this board owned by ricoma or something, geez, someone asked a question i simply mentioned what i have heard from people I KNOW who own them. i wouldnt put down a product if i never heard or experienced it before. Like a babylock or a singer, or a brother i dont know anything about these machines. therefore i have no comment on them.

and i got some bad news for you i have a 2005 lincoln towncar and its always in the garage..
i believe thats a ford??
