When you go to pick it up make sure you test before you leave the store (ask me how I know)! Take fabric, stabilzer thread (even if it is just one color) and then set it up there pull in a design and let it stitch out. I would do one with color changes just to try everything. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece but stitch the whole thing out - all you have wasted is some fabric and thread, much better than gas and picking that monster up and down again to take it back. You want it right and do it now while it is still under warranty. If they have to send it to Chicago so be it - they actually did that with my 180 not long after I got it and it was well worth the wait!
