I wanted the Sapphire because it has a scissor cutter and when I am quilting in the middle of the quilt I can cut the thread and change stitches or go to a different part of the block I am working on.
If you thread the take up lever from left to right and use a thread net, it seems to help keep the thread from jumping out . I used to work for Husqvarna, I learned lots of tricks for making the machines work better.
