I love my machine. I have an old Kenmore basic machine that I loved, but I wanted more to do different projects. This machine is one of the nicest machines that I have ever used. The stiching is exact and very easy to use. It takes a little bit to get use to find what stich, but once you get the hang of it you will love it. I would recommend this machine to a basic sewer to the advanced. I am a quilt making and can't wait to use the machine to make a new quilt. I have made three projects already enjoying everytime I get behind the machine.
