If you get it from Walmart save the reciept and try it out right away go through the paces on it if not what you want take it back . All machines have a learning curve the harp on a machine is a main factor quilting and a good walking foot for stitch in the ditch quilting . and feed dogs that lower for free motion quilting . Use it a lot the first week to see if it will work out for you and like I said if not pack back in box with receipt and take it back
