Hi there,
Are you still looking for a machine? I have a Bernina Artista 200 barely used. Let me know if you are interested. Perhaps you already found your new machine.

For those prices you might as well look into commercial and get a 12 or 15 needle machine with bigger sewing field 270 cap frames which allows you to go 7" from center each way. Don't forget about software not all software is created equal there is a big difference between Home vs Commercial software in stitch quality and prices are not really that far off anymore.

Look at the website:www.ccesd.com
or go to Tajima's website, Happy, SWF, Barudan any of these will get you an idea of pricing also talk to the reps see what they know what do they offer for training

My wife and I purchased a BabyLock EMP 6 needle machine equal to the Brothers PR 600 last year with stand, software, backing tools etc for $6,500 and that included several days, a few hours at a time training, we also have received great support from the dealer. We have purchased two SWFs since, a 6 needle and 15 needle, both work horses, and at times we have all three machines running. It is a good business to start at home, but you really have to have the desire and want to work hard. We are also doing heat transfers now, and still work full time jobs. We hope to retire next year and do the embroidery work and transfer for extra money. Good luck and any questions we can answer please feel free to contact me. If you are close to eastern NC let me know and I will give you our dealer's contact information.
