Hi Laquita. Count me in with those who prefer vintage Singers. When I looked at this one, I first noticed the small harp space which would make it difficult to actually quilt. In addition, I usually avoid computerized machines because they are such prima donnas. Combined with the plastic parts and known bobbin problems, I'd be very hesitant to buy this one, or any modern Singer, for that matter.

For my money, I'd look for a good used Singer 301 (portable) or if you have the space a 201 or 15 in a wooden cabinet. Model 66s and 99s are great too. They are all workhorses that will last forever and are easy to maintain.

Just my 2¢.
