well.. it's going back to HSN. Overall, I don't think it will last more than a few years d/t cheapo plastic parts here and there... the the automatic thread cutter is acting up, the bobbin winder didn't automatically stop, and the tension got wacko when I changed from ordinary cotton quilting type thread to a silky thinner thread. Tried to adjust it and nothing worked. No, I am not paying 400 bucks for a machine to give me a headache.
