Charlee is right this is made in China by a company authorized to manufacture the machine for them. The quality is really inferior and I have seen a couple of them and the cabinets are so cheap the drawer fell apart when I pulled it out to look into it. The machine is very cheaply made and the stitch regulator will not stay in one spot it will constantly move on you and you will have to keep adjusting it.
I have heard nothing but bad things about these machines and I can tell you from first hand that I would not have one even if it was given to me.

I was going to say the same thing...bad quality...Buy a real one...
