Thanks for all the info!
I'm going out today, may try to stop in Sears and check them out.
My hubby went to the city yesterday (where Hancocks is) and I was so hoping he'd bring home the machine...........but alas, it didn't happen. This has been a bad month for money flying out the window, so I guess I'll just have to wait. That's ok - I bought a darning foot in Hancocks with a 50% off coupon for JoAnns and they took it! I only paid $13 for a $26 darning foot! :lol: VERY happy cuz it fits my machine AND it makes FMQ easy! (my Brother doesn't have drop dogs).
So for now, I'm just shopping around. My LQS has a machine repair person that will repair ANY machine, so I don't have to worry about service.
