I received this for Christmas. I don't know if I would've picked this one out since it isn't carried or supported at my local fabric store, however, I love it. So far, so good. The online videos really helped me break the ice to begin sewing on it. This is my very first overlock machine and I'm very happy thus far. And a different service store within 7 miles does offer free classes! I would highly recommend it to anyone who asked.
