I love my Sapphire 875! Its a great machine for making garments as well as quilts. It makes wonderful buttonholes
and has lots of great features, lots of decorative stitches, some of them can be made bigger, it doesn't have a presser foot lifter, its done with either the foot pedal or the button on the machine. It comes with a good assortment of presser feet, the longer throat is so nice for machine quilting. I've had it since 2009 and no problems yet. I used to sell the Husqvarna Vikings and of all the machines in the store, the 875 is the one I fell in love with.
