Walking foot, 1/4" foot, quilting foot, quilting guide, and wide "deck" you can add to it.. so far I love it.. and you sure can't beat that price.. it even has a self threader for the needle.
if target will take it back if you are not satisfied, then why not try it? $99 is a very good price if it does what you need it to do. it won't have all the bells and whistles, but it will give you time to see what you do want and in the meantime, try every other machine on the market. i also suggest that you invest in a good sewing lamp, even if the machine has a little light.
