I set my cosol small arm machine aside and put this at the end of mylong tables (2 tabes each 5 ft long. I thought I would notice a difference from the cosole but I haven't because it has a large table workspace attached to it. I am telling u, this machine is sheer pleasure. I learned real easily the bells and whistles. It is great on FMQ and I am impressed with how easily it handles Many thicknesses and how high the pressure foot lifts toaccomodates. It is a straight stich machine but that's all Plus FNQ.
Can u tell I am sooooo happy with my decision to buy this model.
