My wife wants to sell her machine, she bought it to use with my mom who moved out of state and so now it basically just sets here.
It works perfectly, was bought in December 2006 new and has only been used a couple dozen times at most. There is a shop here in Fort Wayne that sells theirs for $2000.00 used without anything but the basics. We are selling this one with everything we bought with or for the machine for $1900.00 OBO
We have a 3 piece quilting set from Fiskars (Donna Drewberry Collection, a clothsetter ($65.00 new, not used), the Giga Hoop for making large designs, many spools of thread (both used and unopened spools), 3 Books including the Latte Quilt book (my mom made and sold one for $1200.00) If you know anything about the machines you know it is well worth the price but we are willing to consider offers. As far as delivery we would prefer to have you pick it up though it could be shipped if you wish to pay the shipping. If you are close enough I may consider bringing it to you. I am sure there is more that I have not listed I am just unable to find the list we made a couple months back when we were going to sell it.
I just know a lot about the machine lol, and yes I have used it before. As for stuff for GLXJ I would have to talk to her about it. She has thought about stuff like that before just nothing ever seemed to pan out to make it worthwhile. Everyone wanted this or that but then never followed through with it.
Hello, you will have to help me a little. Does it take disks for reading embroidery programs? What format does it read. I do not know this brand name, I used Melco and Tajama embroidery machines and the logos that I have are all exp. The mega hoop... how big is this sewing field. So I guess I would like more information on the embroidery part of it. Thanks so much Gayla
the machine will accept JEF files easily. There is also a program that you can purchase called Embird that will reformat any patterns you may have into useable formats to use with the machine. It will reformat any other namebrand and some not so well known formats into readable useable files.
I can tell you that all patterns are usually expensive but my mother has become somewhat of a guru on where to obtain free patterns to use, and not just simple cheesy looking patterns and I am sure if you purchased it I could get you a list of these places. This machine is very very easy to use and user friendly, my mother showed me how to use it in just a few minutes and I know now how to use it and do what I would need or want to do. The Latte Quilt book you will get, my mother spent the time to make one and sold it for $1200.00 easily. The Giga Hoop will allow for about a 9.1x7.9size. The regular hoops allow for patterns sized 5x4.3" 5.5x7.9 on the A&B hoops. There is also a small 2x2" hoop.

If you need anymore info just please let me know and I will do all I can to help you out. We really need the money and will be happy to help make this purchase easier for you.
oh, and the software that comes with the machine will allow you to do a lot with files as well. My mom is the resident expert so I am asking her questions I get to make sure I am right, she is the one I got the info from. You can also get a lot of info on the machine if you do a web search on it, their web site has a ton of useful info on what it can and will do for you.
Something I forgot to add, the software that comes with the machine will also convert many types of files to useable files for the machine. Embird is more of a editing software that will allow you to change and move patterns around to suit you, like moving words and setting things up. We are really in need of the money so feel free to ask more questions or make an offer if you like, you may be surprised. If you would rather we call you just let us know and we can do that. Sorry we have not already things have gotten a little hairy around here so we have been pretty well closed off from the world in a way.
If you know the machine you know this is a good price. Need to get rid of it, have a baby coming (We hope) and buying a house so the money is more important. We can not however justify basically giving it away. We will still consider offers on the machine though.
