Hi, everyone,
I am doing initial research for embroidery machines (including local dealers and used machines), and wondered if anyone here has asked George in Las Vegas about his prices for the following machines. I hate to call and start asking him, because I get the BIG sales pitch and I am timid on the phone (timid and George don't go well together). I'd like to know what he has before I call, so I don't feel so walked all over. I'm a satisfied customer of both my local dealer and George; I'm just at the price research phase right now.
Has anyone gotten quotes from him (or bought) any of the Brother embroidery machines? I'm looking at them all, from the PE150 and 180 to the Pooh 400 to the PCs and the ULTs. If anyone knows how much he charges for these, I would be most grateful if you wouldn't mind sharing the info.
I'm open to other embroidery machines, too, if anyone has a favorite. I've heard negative things about the lower-level Singers and mixed reports about both the Designer 1 and the Bernina/artista.
Researching an embroidery machine is so overwhelming. I wish there were a web page with samples of the same design stitched out with all the available machines, so you could do a "prettiness" comparison side by side of them all. Is the embroidery quality of the ULTs much better-looking than the embroidery quality of the 150, for example?
Does he carry any of the boxes or the software design packages, and is he cheaper than ebay? Out of curiosity, has anyone bought one of the big Horn/Regal sewing cabinet things from him?
Thanks for any information. I like his prices, but he intimidates the heck out of me.
Mary
