I plan on using it to FMQ and to learn how to do embroidery. I want to make pretty labels for my quilts and whatever else I can find to do. I have read mixed results for this machine, but for the most part what I have read has been positive. I just wanted some opinions from the people here, but I guess no one has machine. Thank you for taking the time to at least say something. I really do appreciate it. Gina
