the 319 is a really fast sewing machine. but--the bobbin area is hard to reach & replace. just drives me crazy when
I use it. especially would be awful to replace bobbins if you were FMQ. it also takes a different needle, while not
impossible to get, is more expensive to buy and not all the different ones available. I can tell you that much without
looking at the machine. if it is over $30, it is too high.
