I like the machine a lot for the price. It has a lot of features that expensive machines have. I do have a problem when quilting, I get loose stitches on the bottom. I retread the machine and it stitches fine and then the loose stitches appear again. I've been a sewer for over 50 years, so am not a novice at this.If that problem could be solved, I would LOVE the machine, as I bought it for quilting, as I sew 2 to 3 hours everyday!!
