I'm sure I haven't used it to it's fullest capabilities yet, but it is nice for piecing and runs very quiet.

That being said, I do like the Sapphire 875, and I'm sure I will come to love it once I get to use her more for other than piecing. I am looking forward to using it on a couple that aren't fit for the longarm (stretchy material).
