the big draw of them is their petite size and weight=
they are little work horses- as long as you treat them well take care of them they will stitch happily along forever-nice even stitches- and only weighing in at 12 pounds with their wonderful little carrying case--wonderful to take to classes- retreats- vacation= any time you want to take a machine=and don't want to Haul the big heavy computerized machine. :)
