Are you planning on quilting? If so, I wouldn't buy the machine that you linked for, because it has very LITTLE throat space, might be fine for making blocks or clothing. If you want something that you can use for quilting, I suggest you look at machines that have at least a 9" throat. If you're planning on using it for quilting, all you need is really a straight stitch machine, so I would look for a vintage machine, if you want zig zag or fancier stitches, I would still recommend a vintage machine.
