How much it costs?? is it cost efficient? Reply Sasha Barrese October 10, 2017 - 10:49 pm Price? How long till delivery Reply Donna February 8, 2018 - 1:25 am I got mine on sale for 13,000 and brought it home that day. I don’t know how long it would take to get shipped. I had the Brother Dream machine…the ONLY thing I wish the ICON had was the Disney stock embroidery….but TRUST….the ICON is SOOOoooooo much better. The power ALONE…and the WiFi….THOSE are selling points but, it has so much more. SO worth the money I spent. I have all the accessories and software….EVERYTHING…feet, hoops, specialty threads, every type of stabilizer, rulers, cutting tables, steam irons, etc…. and it is well worth a years income!!!!! <3 Reply Lei January 18, 2019 - 7:13 pm How do you sell so much? I can’t manage to sell much on Etsy. And, does Pfaff object to selling their designs? Reply NIKI August 7, 2017 - 5:12 pm I can’t find the overall machine size or the weight. I need it to fit into a current cabinet. Thanks so much Reply Carla A. Canonico August 16, 2017 - 10:27 am Hi Niki, thank you for your inquiry. What I do know about this very new machine is more about the measurements in the work space than the over all dimensions. But I was able to get confirmation that it weighs 33lbs. Large work space area with width 310mm (12.20in) and height 140mm (5.51in); Large embroidery area 360mm (14.11in) x 260mm (10.24in) Regular size, and 360mm (14.11in) x 350mm (13.78in) and turnable Grand Dream Hoop Reply R salt July 16, 2017 - 7:08 pm What will it cost Reply Carla A.
