I had one for many years and I loved the machine. The embroidery was great, the FMQ was great and regular sewing was great. It is truly a wonderful machine. I don't have it anymore, but for a good reason ---
A friend of mine in the Air Force borrowed it every time he had to put new patches on his uniforms and he LOVED using it for his patches. The quality of the stitches and the sewing speed control made it easy for him to attach the patches. I offered many times to just put those patches on for him, but because the military is so strict about how the patches are placed and attached, he wanted to do it himself. He is such a good guy that after his third deployment to the Middle East I gave him the machine a a welcome home gift.
