I love mine. I love that it has a needle up/down position, Love that you can tap the pedal and the needle will go up/down once. Enjoy the larger stitch width and designs. And the larger throat. I was not used to the bobbin on the top, but that is not a big deal actually easier to load. Although doesn't let me know if the bobbin is running out (which my old one does). Also wish it had an alphabet ( like my old one). that's a really good price !!
