I bought one and used it for a long time. I almost gave up trying to use it but stuck with it and it became easy and fun. There is learning curve, like riding a bike, one day it just worked and I thought so this is how it's done. I think to many people expect to be able to quilt like a pro right out of the box. It's best for side to side simple quilting patterns. I never could do detailed quilting with it.
