I believe the fee only applies to software and not the machine but please call a sales rep to confirm that. They really are low pressure people. I bought a used machine directly from the person selling it for about half the price of a new one. It also gave me everything I needed to get started, backing, thread, needles, bobbins, etc. Right after I bought it, I had a tech come by and tune it up. It was well worth the investment at a fraction of the price of a new machine. I would certainly get another used machine. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
