I received my quantum stylist this afternoon and finished my first project in no time at all. The auto thread cutter alone saves SO much time, you wouldn't think it to be so significant. Setting it up was a breeze, nice instruction manual. The machine is made solidly, its quiet and the stitching and features are fabulous. My only nit is the led is so bright and reflects off of the bright, shiny foot creating a glare. LOL! Such a horrible thing :-) This sewing machine will be the incentive I need to sew everyday. Im so happy!
