I have the machine and love it. Has plenty of stitches. It's a great machine for free motion. I did learn however that I must use the single hole throat plate or I get loops. It's really fast but I never sew at full speed as my brain can't think that fast. It sews a perfectly straight stitch for piecing. Another tip: be sure to measure your 1/4 seam setting. Using the setting on the machine didn't yield a perfect width. On my machine I had to move the needle over to the 9 setting to get a scant 1/4 seam. I have zero complaints and use it as my go to machine for free motion. I also suggest you use a topstitch needle because I was shredding thread and I use polyester thread for free motion. You will be happy.
