Are you interested in the machine for embroidery too? It's an older model compared to newer ones but you can see all the specs and sizes at the BL website. Search for Previous models and it is there.
If upgrades have been done, make sure that you receive them also in case you ever need to re-load them into the machine.
You will also need threads, stabilizers and bobbins for your machine to get started with projects if you don't have supplies already. It's a whole new adventure and quite fun.
Can you do embroidery with your other machine? What function or part is frustrating you? Let us know and perhaps we can help you with solutions.
Good luck!
