I have had this machine for several years that pookie ookie posted a link to and I absolutely love it! It will sew through anything I've thrown at it including the rag quilt my friend Amanda and I donated to basset rescue last year that was a combination of mini wale and brushed corduroy backed with flannel. It is a real work horse and it's easy to haul back and forth to classes. It has a lot of features that are on higher end machines such as needle up down and a start stop button that allows you to sew without the foot peddle. You can also adjust your sewing speed which was great when I was just getting back to sewing. The bobbin winder can be a pain sometimes and I can't seem to get the hang of the threader all the time but for the price this has been a wonderful machine. I did manage to SID a queen sized quilt on it.
