Hey all, My poor abused PC420PRW has finally bit the dust after being asked to sew beyond it's capacity for the past 5 years. I've thought about just replacing it with another of the same, but have come across a used Babylock Symphony that would be a step up in terms of modern bells and whistles and wouldn't break the budget. So here are my questions for those of you who have the Symphony:

1. Have you found it to be picky about thread?
2. Does it sew well over thick seams, or does it have to be "helped along" when crossing seams? has this changed for the worse over time? (This was my first indication that the PC420PRW was on it's last leg).
3. How long have you had your machine and have you had any recrurring problems with it?
4. How much time do you usually spend sewing on it each week?

thanks,
Rob
