I had not heard of this machine, so Googled for reviews and information. It seems to me that there are comments about tension problems, which is about the last thing I want to deal with when I am FMQing, so that puts me off a bit. It is an extremely small company too, and the warranty is more limited than on most sewing machines. Although the price is wonderful, I guess my inclination would be to stick with the tried-and-true even though they are more expensive.
