this machine has great reviews there. I have no experience with it. I just saw this tonight and thought maybe someone might be looking for an inexpensive machine.

I read a lot of good reviews about this machine. I'm tempted to get one.
I love my life!
most of the discussion on the QB is that it is a good inexpensive machine for quilting, but they don't last that long.

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
Mine didn't last very long - only one year. It did what I needed to do but is not heavy duty. The quilting process was hard on my machine.
I like mine. It was really lightweight, so when I quilted I moved it around on the table. I bought another machine for quilting, and I use this for buttonholes and fancy stitches when I need them.
Courtesy is not optional.

Similar experience here - worked great but I had to chase it around the table as I sewed. I made two quilts and a bunch of smaller projects on mine; it was really only my main machine for about 6 months before I decided I was serious about quilting and upgraded to a Janome 6600.
I actually gave mine to my niece & nephew about 6 months ago; they came for a visit and fell in love with sewing. It was my backup machine at that point so I sent it home with them, along with a whole tote full of "spare" stuff from my sewing room (fabric, scissors, thread, etc.). They really loved playing with the decorative stitches, and it was easy for them to learn how to thread it and change the feet. Last I checked it's still going strong! My sister says the only problem with it is that there's 2 kids and only one machine, LOL.
My sister has this machine and loves it. She just wished it had a backlight and the needle threader were easier to use.
Light weight and easy to use.
that's a good price, I have this machine, but loaned it to a granddaughter, to use while she takes sewing and fashion design at college. and I miss it, now I'm using a singer merritt, its very heavy and smells of oil when it gets hot, maybe the birthday fairy will bring me a new one,[[[I will manage for now.]

Great little machine especially for taking to classes etc. It is light and easy to transport, sews well and has a variety of stitches . It is a computer machine. I have hauled mine all over the place. Once when my Pfaff broke down in the middle of an appliqué project that could not wait to be finished, I finished on my little brother and you cannot tell the difference. I would recommend it for beginners as well as experienced for hauling around. Mt Pfaff stays home and the brother travels. Price is great.
I bought this machine 6 months ago - so far so good - I do a lot of quilting - for the price it works great
