I'm on my second Kenmore since 1977 (this one is maybe 8-10 years old)and I do like them.
Just started quilting, so I bought a walking foot, a 1/4 inch foot, and a FMQ foot.
I machine quilted the 66x80 quilt I am working on now, and used several of the decorative stitches-- it was a breeze. (Especially after I found a you-tube video about installing the walking foot! Mine had NO instructions!)
Part of me would like a "real" quilting machine (whatever that is!) but this Kenmore seems to be doing the job well right now...
