I have an Eversewn Sparrow 30 and it's a really neat machine. It sews a pretty stitch and has the qualities you described. I purchased mine from Overstock.com and used one of their coupons. I got free shipping and a really, really good price. It was shipped to me from Sewvacdirect.com, a Texas dealer I've bought from many times, and who has a really good reputation for customer service and good products.
