I now have a new sewing machine and LOVE it...it stayed in the box for a few days...then on the table...but once i watched the DVD that came with the machine and I turned it on....I now LOVE it...its the Jamone Horizon 7700 - the throat on it is huge...the buttons on the machine is less intimating then others. And the storage is incredible...it holds 17 feet...bobbins and so much more. It has Three storage compartments. The built in Duel foot is awesome once you get use to it...(three or four times). I am soooo happy finally...and it has a free arm...what a journey...but worth it...
