I LOVE MINE!!! Sorry to be shouting, but I'm a real fan of Vikings. It will sew thu anything. you can hem jeans, no problem. the only thing I would be careful of is if it is the the USB (so you can use a flash drive) or the floppy version. Most PC's don't have floppy drives anymore, so it's a bit of a hassle.
ETA: The price is about the same as what my dealer is selling the USB version for and you should be getting a warranty with it.
