This is the model I bought, to replace my 20 + year old mechanical machine. I was a bit intimidated at first, I admit. I learned one precaution right away: Always turn off and UNPLUG your machine right BEFORE a storm. Or if you go to bed, or walk away for more than a couple minutes. It is very sensitive to variations in electrical current.
It has Lots of stitches, which I have not used yet. The user manual is very detailed.
It uses Brother plastic bobbins and tells the new owner to ALWAYS use ONLY these bobbins, but ho, ho, ho, I must have been asleep at the wheel... I went to change thread color and suddenly I realized I had been using my old metal "J 15" bobbins that fit the old model Singers and New Home (Janome) machines. These can be used with no difficulties. hope this helps set your mind at ease.
