I have always wanted one but that fear factor is there on learning how to use it but I have seen some of the things it can do with quilting. I don't sew anymore. Use to make clothes all the time. I had to go back over with a zig zag stitch on a reg machine. Took double the time. I like the way it finishes the edges when you are sewing quilt pieces together. I think it is a good idea with buying from a dealer for the help, great idea, and thank you all for the helpful suggestions on styles.
