SYork Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 I have an older Babylock Ellegante and it has a knee lift. So you might find a used machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I had and older Janome 6600P with a knee lift. When I got my new machine, the dealer only offered $500 as a trade-inso I gave it to my granddaughter. You may have to go a little higher than $400.

Norma H Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 This from my local Janome retailer who takes in pre-owned machines. This is in Central Iowa. "The least expensive Janome with a knee lift is over $1000." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Check your smaller flea market sewing machine repair/dealers. You may find a older and smaller machine with a knee lift. Depending on the type of sewing/quilting you are doing, you may wish to also get a machine that stops with the needle in either the up or down position.

MrsB8T Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Finding a used machine in that price range hasn’t worked out yet, both locally and on ebay but thank you all for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I just checked, and there are a couple of Bernina 830 Records with knee lifts for sale on e-Bay in your price range. Old machines ('80's manufacture dates). I have one, and it's been a good machine, made in Switzerland. You might take a look. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
