Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I guess if you can get one for the right price go for it.If not, I'd wait for a Tajima or Barudan.
Tajima or Barudan are the best no doubt about it. I feel for the 1/3rd+ savings though SWF isn't to be over looked. I have had great luck with my machines, our product looks great, and that's all I can ask!IMO digitizing software and the digitizer are as important as the machine. I have seen some jokers sewing crap on Tajima's and people putting out top shelf stuff off a POS Brother Hobby machine.
Brandt is right about that. I run an SWF. It's a good machine. That is about all I can say. Service and support suck. I have a local tech that I use, he's the best on SWF, but he's getting older, so where does that leave me?
does your tech travel? Our tech here is great, but he is mainly a Tajima guy and those keep him slammed.
