They are such wonderful little machines. They go anywhere you go and can sew a perfect stitch every time you use one.. Light weight, their own black, square carrying case.. The perfect machine for most of us when we're quilting away from home.. I have 3 of them.. I love them all. My mother gave me my first one, the other two sort of fell into my lap. One day my daughter will have the one my mom gave me and it will still sew as well as it does today I bet!
