I love mine...Here in NY there is a waiting list for them. I love the look of hand quilting but have neither the time nor the talent for it. I have used it for quilting, top stitching and just decorative stitching on " stuff". Yeah it was expensive $2000, but you only live once. I pinch my peenies and then treat myself or hubby to something outrageous every few years. This year it was MY turn!
