Thanks for the info and the web site. Now I can tell my DH what is so special about this machine. He is very supportive of my quilting interest but didn't understand why I needed another sewing machine. He raises registered angus and I support him in his interest. I asked him why he needs another cow. He gave me a puzzled look and had no answer. Guess we are even! Have to admit - he never complains about what buy. I am very lucky!
