One of the best articles written on buying a knitting machine is at this link: http://www.yarn-store.com/hand-and-machine-knitting-the-differences-and-similarities.html

What I would add is that you should buy a teacher not just a dealer; kick her tires so to speak.

Ask to see what she has knit; what kind and how many differernt yarns does she use? How well

is the items finished? Does her work inspire you? Ask if the lessons are hands-on, how many

and what projects? You can buy a machine almost anywhere on the web but when you buy

a good teacher, you are buying her experience (mistakes she has made and you won't have to)

and her knowledge of yarn and the potential that is the chemistry between yarn and the machine.
