I'm excited for you. I've had mine for about 1 1/2 years. Had to take it in because automatic needle thread wasn't working. It needed adjustment. Used my older machines while it was away. Boy did i miss it. I use the laser light alot, not so much the sensor pen. The only thing I dislike about it is the stupid round screwdriver for removing the throat plate. My husband is making me a better one. I told the dealer that for the price of the machine, BL could have come up with a better one.
