As long as I use the proper stabilizer and set my machine up properly, I have no problems. Stitches out fast. Does beautiful embroidery. I only have one complaint which I have seen other purchasers complain about is when you put in a USB drive you can't tell on the screen what it even is. Is their anything I can do about that? I mean you have to pick each design until you find the one your looking for, that's how bad the views are. I do recommend this machine though. However I have hoop envy, and now I want the Brother NQ1600. I can't wait.
