The searches I did all seemed to be bad reviews.
I tried it out at the store and it was great. It ran so smooth, it has the auto-sensor for the fabric and thickness and doing some test quilting, even having the batting folded into different thicknesses it just went smoothly from one to the other. It does an auto-lock at the beginning and end of stitching, has the needle up/down, the presser foot is controlled by the foot pedal.
Has 105 stitches, 10 memories, 3 alphabets (I think).
It is sooooo much better than my 20 year old Kenmore. I just hope I didn't make a bad decision.
