I bought this one back in June and I would advise against it. It is light weight and broke down within 60 days and I had to take it to a shop to get it repaired because it is all sealed. I was so very disappointed in this machine so I would vote no unless you are looking for a light weight machine you want just for fancy stitches on lightweight fabric. I ended up buying a Janome HD-3000 and love it. A little more money but well worth it.
