Glad you have a great machine with the things that make sewing and quilting even more enjoyable. I have the 875 and really like it a lot. Have gotten so spoiled to the automatic pressed foot and auto thread cutter. Can't tell you how much thread I've saved with that feature. The thread cutter does take that extra stitch but I've learned to adjust for that and it's not a big deal. Plan on many more years with this machine. :-)
