My SIL has the Wal Mart machine. Ok for light sewing like she does but I' not sure I would like it for an every day type of machine. Does it have a needle down position? I would have a hard time FMQ without that. ALso when I FMQ I was told to try sewing with the feed dogs up and the stitch length at 0. You cover the feed dogs with a supreme slider. I feel like my supreme slider while it seems pricey has been worth every penny I paid for it. IN FMQ class the teacher said she found that her stitches on the back came out nicer when she didn't drop the feed dogs. This works well on my Janome.
