I have the curvy 8763 and I love it. The price was just right. It has an automatic needle threader, top loading bobbin, thread cutter. It is sooooo easy to use. It came with a cd. The only neg is that the decorative stitching is limited. I can't quite remember how many but I think there are at least 30. I say this is limited because I sew for men as well as women and the men tend to only accept zig zag. Good luck!!
