Hello everyone.
I wonder if anyone across the pond can give me some advice please. I'm in the process of shopping around for a new quilting machine. The one I have in mind is the HQ simply 16. I've looked on various UK websites and can only find one supplier whose price with the little foot frame is £6540.00 (that's approx $7956 US dollars at todays exchange rate). The same machine on US websites is advertised at $5996.00 US dollars....... a difference of almost $2000!!!! That's a hefty difference and I was wondering whether it would be worth my while to buy in the US and get it shipped to the UK if I could find a site that does this. Alternatively, I do have a friend who lives in Ohio, so maybe I could ask if she would take delivery of it and then arrange to send it here it it isn't too much hassle. Does anyone know how much I could expect to pay for shipping costs please?
Many thanks
Lesley
