I generally love my machine. Like emmy said the large harp space is great and the built in walking foot is wonderful. I am going to try another dealer for bobbins. Of the 12 I bought from local dealer (that were all together in one container at the store) 6 won't fit on the spindle for winding. How weird is that? 6 fit, 6 do not. That is why I think they are using a sub-par supplier.
