Hello, Barbara has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Melco EMT-16. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5901-Melco-EMT-16 Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** This new machine sounds like the new Bernina E16 which is nothing more than an Amaya but is white, sews a bit slower, and has different operating software. Bernina purchased a portion of Melco about 2 years ago (maybe not that long) so things are changing. The Bernina E16 sells for about the price you quoted but there are different packages you can purchase. I have heard that Bernina is trying to get all machines priced about the same so they are not competing with a lower price machine identical to theirs such as the XTS. You can see the Bernina E16 at bernina.com under products then scroll down to the E16. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
