I'm so excited over it! Dare I say this, I think I might even like it more than my featherweight. I love my FW for classes and traveling, but I have an old cabinet that my Dad rigged up for me so I could "drop in" any sewing machine and it would just sit in there. This may be the perfect machine to drop in there because it's not too heavy, and I get the benefit of that GORGEOUS stitch. It is amazing to me that newer machines just don't stitch like these, even the ones that cost thousands of dollars. I am thrilled! :)
