I bought that machine(Euro) from my DSIL before she moved out of state. She had never even used it and I needed a machine to do button holes(my other machines are 50+ yrs. old with just front & backward stitching). I have only tried SITD with it and didn't have any problems. I usually just do hand quilting. I do like the machine to make the rugs everyone is posting pics on. I have the generic walking for(low shank) and I don't think I paid over $25-30 for it, but used a coupon at Hankcock's on it or got it on sale @40% off.
