Hi Susan, I bought a new Janome on eBay for next to nothing also an overlocker at 1/2 retail and both work well. I suggest that you look at eBay, then compare to your local shops. You will find an inexpensive machine that meets your requirements. The singer looks fine to me and the price looks good, just shop around and use web sites that do the price comparisons for you.
