My 15000 came home a couple of weeks ago and it's never leaving my sight! I really like this machine. Huge improvement over the 12000 which I really didn't like so much. The needle threader is terrific. It's quiet. Lots of toys come with it, and I'm really wanting to try the Accuquilt on it. The big screen is easy to see and they got rid of that wheely thing that didn't impress me much on the 12000. I know I could have used the money elsewhere, but what the heck. I hurt nobody in the purchase of this machine and I work darned hard for my money. I'm quite pleased.
