One word of caution with dealing with Sears.....they will charge you a restocking fee (which is huge) if you return your item. Doesn't matter how much the item cost or whether the box is open or not. READ THE RECEIPT! It's there in VERY tiny print! Don't buy the extended warranty on it either. I have never heard anything good about their service departments either (pricey work, won't honor warranty, time frame to fix/repair/clean takes too long). I have a Kenmore, bought brand new from Sears. It needed a good cleaning and such and I took it to a sewing machine guy who charged me 1/3 of what Sears would have charged me.
