SherylM, I have an Eversewn Sparrow 30 and just love it. Yes, it has a serpentine stitch. I picked mine up about 1 1/2 years ago on E-bay. Often, sewing machine dealers sell directly through there and a much friendlier price. I know I paid well under $300 for it. One thing I will point out to you or to anyone thinking of purchasing it for machine quilting. The harp is definitely on the narrow side. It is several inches narrower than my Singer. I do not machine quilt except for something small like a tablerunner so that wasn't important for me. Overall, it is a wonderful machine.
