I also am not familiar with that machine, but I have a Brother PC420 Project Runway (was $450.00 on amazon last year) and I love it. My previous machine was a Brother, and I really have had good luck with them. I would give it a go-certainly is a great price-and if you get it from a dealer and with an extended warranty, that is even better. Do you know how old the machine is-what year model? Did you do a search on that model?
