Sears should give me a commission. Some of the stitches on mine let me fix bras, edge t-shirt knits, and other stuff. It also does heirloom stitching, which I didn't think I would use, but it makes quick work of darning my roommate's jeans. I don't create a lot of clothes from scratch, but I do a lot of alterations of thrift shop finds. Works fine on any task I've asked of it.
I also like to do some home dec stuff, and it did a great job on lined Roman Shades. Another feature I love is the jam-free bobbin. It will stop and beep instead of developing rat nests, so I think in the long run, that will result in less shop time.
