I really like my passport. It's lightweight and easily portable. It's similar enough to my Creative Vision that I don't have to think a lot about how to set it up and use it (I don't use it often, only when I travel or take a class somewhere other than my regular LQS). It uses the same feet as my regular machine and it has a nice straight stitch with no skipped stitches or other problems. It has other stitches as well, but I've not had a reason to use them yet. The lighting is okay, but I carry an Ikea bendable light with me because I need lots of light when I sew. I'm very happy to have my passport!
