I have two husqvarnas. My new one is a Husqvarna Sapphire with a nice large throat. I love it. I like the way the needle stays in and the foot raises with just a tap on the foot feed. I like the way you can wind the bobbin without unthreading the needle. I like the way you can tell it the type material you are using and it fixes the tension for you. Mostly I like the shop/dealer I bought it from. I decided to buy my new machine there because of the way they took care of my old Husqvarna when it needed repair. I recommend you feel good about the people you buy your machine from no matter what kind it is.
