i bought a 'Runway' from our walmart just to have an extra.
it sews great and goes very FAST. also because it was an inexpensive machine i feel like i can try things like Lola Jenkins portrait stitching on it. i wish i had gone to the next higher priced machine because it has the optional 'needle up or down' button and the 'speed control'. i really like those features on my "good" machine.
