I have the 1/2 size (see it in my avatar). It does look a lot like a toy although it's a pretty darn nice toy. It has a drop in bobbin and does a zig zag and straight stitch. I love mine but I use it for making cards. I have my full size 6600 for quilting and other fabric sewing. I bought the hello kitty one because 1) it's cute and 2) I don't have to change out my needle and/or thread every time I'm making a card.
