Yes, I've read quite a few negative comments about these machines, so am a bit wary, though I managed some nice stitching on the Husqvarna. Truth be told, if money was no object, it would almost certainly be the Horizon (no, actually, if money were REALLY no object, it would be a Bernina, but that's definitely not going to happen - the Horizon on special offer is still right at my limits). But I decided to do the research into the slightly cheaper alternatives rather than just go straight for that. I'm going to play with the Horizon on Monday....
