What ever you do, do not purchase the Brother Project Runway from WalMart. That was the machine that showed up on a news story, where a machine tech took it apart on camera to show that there was not a metal frame inside. A lady in the story had purchased because her machine had died while doing costumes and it broke a few hours later. This is not to say that Brother doesn't make machines that last, they have machine with metal frames, but the light weight ones like Project Runway are not sturdy machines and will not hold up.
