Well I specifically am interested in purchasing a Corsani Sewing machine no secrets for me . They have a UK REP and a USA Rep and the USA rep is a dear friend of mine and yet he nor I can get any specific information form them. He says they take a month off in august also. Further more I am interested is some one to communicate to them and translate their words to a true translation not a word translation so we can determine what the machine really does. The vauge translation on the UK website is word for word transation and not true translationa and like our holy bible it has lost much of its original meaning. Sooooooooo I hope to get some one there that may call or email them and and find out scoop for me and finally if we can work it out I would want to issue them a payment and purchase one or more machines from them. Sooo now you go it.... And I do thank all for the kind responses.
