How To Choose the right sewing machine?

Not withstanding Wiz's reply a clutch motor is not for the fainthearted! As a newbie you will have enough to worry about without trying to master a clutch motor too! $195 sounds like a good deal to replace the motor with a servo, it is something you would do eventually and it will be easier to get the dealer to do it before you take delivery.

The table that the machine have now I think is the standard one, 48x20 or am I wrong? So do you think if I make him cut it a bit smaller it wouldn't be a great move?

If it's a standard old type table,  The metal legs/framework is just underneath the table ends so you may not be able to cut it down.

@Margherita - Not much to add to what's already been said.  Yes, I think $195 installed for the servo motor is a good deal.  And it eliminates any frustration you might have in changing the motor.  Definitely go for the servo!  Quieter and much better control.  And if it's a standard table, I'd also say to keep it.  Would 8" really make much difference in your space?  And the cut certainly wouldn't be on the right side of the table but rather on the left and even with a full size table you will sometimes wish you had more flat space there.

Sounds like the dealer is really going the extra mile to make the sale.

Best of luck to you!
