Thank you so much. My Acclaim arrived yesterday and I purchased it in desperation as my Bernina 1300DC keep failing. I’m going to rewatch later today unpacking and examining it with this video. Maybe I’ll do an unboxing. Great vlog, I’ve just started a vlog too. I’ve subscribed to follow your adventures xxxx😘😘🇬🇧💰
Thanks so much for this very helpful video. BTW: Can you please tell me what the white plastic attachment is that is in the accessories compartment. Kind regards.
Sure thing! I did some hard bargaining at the sewing shop I bought it at in order to get the best possible price. It is really hard to find any pricing on the Babylock machines unless you speak to an authorized dealer for the brand. The retail price is supposedly $4,999. However, this was just like buying a car! I called around to a few dealers (6) in my area (towards the end of the month) and told them I was interested in buying this specific machine. They then tried to "sell" me and offer me different things if I bought from them immediately. (Keep in mind this was during quarantine so I did all the bargaining by phone and then picked it up.) I waited though, and then got a few better deals over the next few days as they called me back, since they were crazy to sell a machine before the end of the month. I ended up getting the machine for $2,640 including tax which was a lot, PLUS I got 0% financing for 12 months, a whole set of additional feet (which sell for over $100 each), 12 cones of specialty thread and some other goodies like that. I hope this helps you...
Thank you! 👍🏼
This video is very clear and helps me with my new Acclaim 🎉.
I return ↩️ to your Acclaim video series every time I need a light 😃
