    This one is a really pretty machine. It was previously listed for $200 but they have dropped the price to $150. http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/atq/3667349593.html

    These two are really tempting me also. Not sure where in the heck I would put them. My condo is just not that big.

(I'm thinking that $1k to $5k is a little much for used),... I would love an embroidery machine that didn't "suck", but I don't know how to pick one out.
    I have A brand new.viking designer ruby i got in May. I paid 6k for the machine and the embroidery software package. I have made a bunch of smaller projects on it and she fits my needs well. I make baby and wedding gifts, and just have fun with it. I had an older machine i sold.on ebay for 1k. Depending on the brand and what all.you get with it, 1-2k can be a reasonable price if you get plenty of hoops and accessories with it. Feel free to message me for more info. I did alot of research .

    this one just made me giggle. smack head.
    Is it an illusion or is this machine really small? It looks like a FW without the tip-up bed. Is it a 3/4 that just looks small?

    The Spartan is a good little 3/4 machine I chose one for my DGDs to learn on. But throwing in a newer plastic wonder??? That cracks me up.

    Correct, no picture. His (I assume it is a "he") description of the cabinet puts a picture in my mind though - VBG.
