My husband really wanted me to have this machine when i was looking for one to take to the house on the lake that we had just purchased. before i accepted it i made sure to ask if this would kill any future upgrades in the embroidery machine department( i have a 13 yr. old 9000) the store owner thought that was pretty funny. I do have an issue that i wonder if anyone else has. I have the 1/4 accufeed foot and when i sewed a seam it was more than a 1/4 inch-even after moving the needle over. Has anyone else tried this?
