I got this machine back in August and haven't regretted it for a minute. I love it for piecing and quilting. I did find that for whatever reason I was getting skipped stitches when I tried to free motion with Aurifil, but when I changed to Isacord thread it went smooth as silk and I haven't had a problem. I did modify the free motion foot that came with the machine a bit so I could see better as well. But honestly- it was a great purchase, IMO. Just an all-around good machine. Enjoy yours!
