I like mine so much that when the first one's feed mechanism stopped working after 5 years of heavy use (and a trip for routine maintenance which I am convinced is what messed up the feed mechanism) - I kept it as a dedicated fmqer and bought another one to replace it- Home Depot had a sale on them $320- so I lucked out. A lot of the stitches can be flipped using mirror image and you can program it to combine decorative stitches to get some pretty cool effects. Plus you can create your own original stitches so it actually has way more stitches than the ones shown in the manual. Love that machine! Will have to try the metal bobbbin trick when doing twin needle work since that’s the one area where I have had problems with skipped stitches on this machine.
