Thanks Nygal,
The 401 does have a very nice selection of stitches built-in and through internet searches and blogs, etc...I've figured out there are 2 additional "cams" that offer more stitches. I'm leaning toward servicing the 401 and buying a new machine for my daughter...if she absolutely loves it...then maybe I'll break down and become a "Two-machine" owner within the next year!
