Ongratulations on the job prospects! I would say, however that you should listen to your instincts on this...the fear is there for a reason. Look around...the perfect deal for you is out there...sounds like this is not the right one for you.
Good luck on your interview!

I also agree with everyone here that has given you advise,Remember you never planned to be in that accident, we don't usually plan for those things to happen to us. That being said what if something happened to your husbands job tomorrow, the new machine wouldn't help pay the bills. When my husband died my lonelness and unclear thinking caused me to go on many buying sprees,because I wasn't thinking far enough into the future. Now before I buy things of real value I actually pray about it god will and wants to help you spend your money wisely

I have seen several small long arm owners have said they wished they had bought a larger one. because they could make money on a bigger one the smaller one is more for wall hangings.i would go for the bigger one that way you could do quilts on the side or make a living at it.

I have sweatted over this for days, is there a better deal out there? Linda

I think I would post a ad, offering to pay a fair price, for a second hand machine with a more open throat. Try Craigs list. If you do, remember that you can only make one post for it at a time, so each week or so, I would post in a different nearby area. Good Luck!

Linda, in answer to your question. Juki is a good machine, but there are some out there as good and not so expensive. You can buy a Janome Sewing and Embrodiery sewing machine for that much money. I like to think that if you are going to pay this much for a sewing machine, you have already considered your future and have a plan. Wish you well in your search. My rule of thumb is whenever I spend this much money take 24 hours to make a decision and if you are a praying women, pray and ask God to guide you in your decision.
