I like this machine. I got it 2 years ago from HSN and only recently started using it. It like it a lot. I had it serviced this week because I broke the presser foot lever while making a quillow. It was totally my fault and not the machine's! I didn't realize it had an automatic sewing speed. I will have to read the owner's manual on that. My Brother machine has that feature and I love it. The only problem I have had is the walking foot. I couldn't get it attached so had the repairman do that. Once again, my fault, not the machine's. I recently quit working and am just getting back into sewing and quilting. So, to answer your question, I do love this machine and am excited about learning to machine quilt on it. For me it was a very good purchase. The numerous decorative stitches are lovely. Also, I emailed Brother and they responded quickly and told me how to set the machine for a basting stitch. That impressed me. Hope I helped you.
