Yes, my first embroidery machine. It was only used twice by the previous owner who needed the space for another machine. Love getting a like new machine for a great price! Years ago I purchased an inexpensive Brother machine which I still love for doing bindings as I'm partial to it's walking foot. That machine had a very limited alphabet stitch built in but had no hoop. I got very mixed results trying to use it --- but that was before I new about using stabilizers!
