Unfortunately the embroidery machine didn't fetch anywhere near as much as I had hoped but both sales have left me with just enough (£1266) to cover the cost of either the ex demo Janome Atelier 7 currently on sale at couling sewing machines or the bernette b77 on sale elsewhere for the smae price. Although there is one on amazon going for a grand.
Both machines have the same specs more or less except for stitch count where the b77 wins.
That also comes with an extension table and will be brand spanking new.
The atelier is the one I've wanted for quite a while but, no extension table. No guarantee it'll still be there when the money clears (mon-tue) and its pretty much second hand. It does have a bobbin plate that unlocks with the press of a button.
What say ye experts of TSP?
