Yes--I love it! It's been pretty maintenance free despite lots of sewing time. I've not only pieced on it, but also FMQ.

Have to say that I can never remember how to use the more complex ones since only use them rarely. I have had difficulty with my automatic threader---but I have difficulty with that on my Singer too, so it may be more me than the machine as a friend with the same machine says she's never had any difficulty with the threader.
