for reviews on this machine. I have heard good things about this machine. In September I was working a garage sale sponsored by the sewing guild and got into a conversation with a gentleman who quilts. He had bought this machine for quilting and loved it so much, the following year he bought one for his daughter for Christmas. Thought that was a pretty good recommendation so I recommended it to the parent of one of my sewing students as well. The lucky girl is getting one for Christmas this year!
