I bought one about 3 weeks ago and love it so far. I got the one with the red front. My dealer said that they were limited edition (the color). It's exactly the same as the one with the plain front (which they were selling for the same price). I just did my first free motion over the weekend and the large throat space was HEAVEN! It is very quiet and powerful too:-) I don't know what to do with all the stitches yet, my dealer offers free classes when you purchase a machine from them so I am looking forward to getting some instruction on how to use all the "bells & whistles".
