Only drawbacks of the machine: no speed control except with the foot pedal, no needle up/down. Other than that, I LOVE my new machine. I looked into the Brother and the Juki, but the local dealers would not allow me to test drive without buying first with no return! No thank you! Babylock dealer let me sit and "play" for as long as I wanted. Great service and really great dealer.
