  Does The Machine Have A Return Policy?
  
  A return policy is a safety net policy that simply means you can have a refund once you notice a defect with the machine within a specified period of time. Ask the seller for a return policy and make sure he attaches one to the machine. If he tries to convince you otherwise, don’t even hesitate to walk away and try somewhere else.

  Have You Tested The Machine?
  
  What better way to know the quality of what you are buying if not to test it. Before you even start thinking about paying your money, make sure you have the machine tested as many times as you can. You can try doing some little sowing on it and make sure everything is working perfectly.
