When I was at AQS in Grand Rapids I checked out the Sweet 16. Show special was $4600. While I was gone I had left my Bernina for a check up with the dealer. He has a Sweet 16 he would sell for 4500. It is very tempting but I'm still thinking. I would feel better buying from a dealer/repair person. Any thoughts? If you buy from a private party do you then have it checked out by a repair person?

Thank you for your encouragement. I am still considering for the future. Right now, I am setting goals of doing FMQ on my DSM to learn what I would like in a dedicated quilting machine.
MJP, I would very much enjoy a trip to San Diego and to experiment with your Sweet 16. I am thinking of heading to the Bay Area later this fall and may just mosey down the coast.

Check out http://Www.longarmuniversity.com that is where I found the one I picked up today. Used, four years old with about 90,000 stitches in a cabinet, with lots of extras. The lady I purchased it from is lovely. A quick test drive was enough for me. She even had all the original boxes. Also the site manager was super helpful because my email and the sellers did not seem to be able to connect. So the site manager helped us get together. Over all a very pleasant experience. Best of luck in your search
