I think the ZigZag is really pretty. I love the color but compared to the Model 50 it's persnikity. haha Lets say i'm still learning how to switch and work with the different cams it came with. I grew up with an 80's Bernina (moms) so i'm more familiar with that machine than any other. I once sewed on a Singer but that was in home ec during junior high, it was a required class for both boys and girls.
