I love this machine. Thank you Singer! My machine arrived on the day promised. I love the ease of use. I'm not sure if I got my original Quantum Stylist; the big difference for me is computerizing the stitches rather than plugging in cartridges. Also really love the built in thread cutter. The automatic needle threader is so great! My elderly eyes absolutely appreciate that feature. As a suggestion though, some improvements could be made to the angle of the hook that drops for needle threading. Threads have tendency to slide of that when moving thread to right into the threading arms. Of course I recognize I may be one of few who might notice that. Thank you, Deb N
