Highly recommend. I have had my machine since May and I am beyond thrilled. I wanted something that would handle heavy material (canvas) and this one deliveries without a hitch. I have made quilt, curtains, dresses, shorts, tops, toiletry bags and I'm sure more. I have used the blind hem, zig zag, zipper, bias foot, button holer, button foot and I'm sure some of the other ones. I found all performed nicely and I'm singing the praises for this machine. I'm happy with the extended platform and the many feet that came with mine.
