Yes, I have one. Up to this point I have only used it on a table but will shortly be setting it up on an Inspira frame. They only straight sew which is great for quilting and they sew a lot of stitches very quickly (1600 per minute). It has good space (approx. 9 inches) and a strong motor. There is not much to taking care of it except to keep the lint cleaned out and oil, oil, oil it. They do like to drink their oil. I like the needle down feature and the thread cutting button also. It's heavy and does not do a walk about. Nice machine but I don't know anything about the Novelle 1500 so don't know how they compare.
