I have a Sapphire 960q and love it. Upgraded about a year ago from the 830. It was not as easy to use on fmq. Had problems from beginning but love the new one. If you can, purchase it at a close dealer for lessons. (Mine is about an hour away) Tried fmq and liked it. Still learning but the decorative stitches are fun. If you want more, you can pm me.
