Otherwise I think it's a decent machine for the price (I bought it for about $150 on Amazon). Lots of stitches, lots of feet, and no troubles with it missing stitches or being a "thread diva". I DID, however, realize that there's no way to lube or really maintain this machine so I don't think it'll be something I'll still be sewing on in 20 years. But it was so cheap, I guess that's okay.
Put a piece of that none skid shelf liner under your machine. Before I had a table to set my machine down in I was using my dining room table and cut a piece just a little bigger then my machine and worked fine. No more walking across the table.
