I love the machine and I'm looking forward to creating many projects with it. My only disappointment is that it only Embroideries and I can't use it for actual sewing (unless I'm missing something). There wasn't a foot pedal in the packaging and I can find no where to plug one in. I bought this machine to replace an older Brother machine that I do regular sewing with plus it also did embroidery. The price on this one was too good to pass up.
