I am highly considering the purchase of a 340 Deco and am curious to hear of user feedback and appropriate price points. I believe the machine will run me around $1000 plus the cost of software...does this sound correct? I feel comfortable with the dealer and look forward to the included instruction courses as I am a beginner embroiderer. They've even offered for my husband to attend as back-up. :) I've also read about a summer 75th anniversary of Bernina and wonder if I should wait and purchase then. I'm eager to get started, but am also a bargain hound. Thanks in advance for your input!
