However, now that I have it I have been using it on a regular basis along with my other vintage singers and I really am impressed. It sews a nice stitch, is very user friendly, doesn't have a lot of fancy stitches but does have about 20 or so of the basic ones. Since I mostly do quilting, I have not tried the flower stitch foot or the fringe foot that came with my machine, but I do plan on trying them out. There seems to be plenty of light around the needle area. My only complaint really is that it does not have a needle down position and this does come in handy while quilting. It also did not come with a walkling foot but it was not advertised as a quilting machine. It is a low shank machine so I think my brother walking foot will work but I haven't tried it yet. It is so cool looking especially sitting next to my vintage black singers.
I also bought mine from HSN for the same reason and feel the same way about it!!!!
