I "won" an Eversewn 25 machine(as if I needed another sewing machine) LOL. With that said, I'm pretty impressed with this little machine and I keep finding new things about it that I really like. For newer computerized, I really like Juki's--I have the FS600. The Eversewn 25 and the Juki HZL-80HP are the same machine, except the Juki has the pressure foot control--but it's also $499 as compared to $329 for the Eversewn. After sewing on the Sparrow 25, I would not hesitate to purchase the Eversewn 30 as it has the thread cutter, pressure foot knob, and more stitches(if that's important to you) for still less money than the Juki HZL-80HP.
