I have had mine for almost 2 years and would not trade her for any thing. She has so many features that other machines have for much much less. I have had not trouble with any of the settings. It is very easy to operate and is a real work horse. I have many many quilts, sewed clothes, jeans and even a cover for my son's trailer. Love the top loading bobbin, mutiple stitches, speed control, needle up/down, knee control etc. Please let me know if you have any specific questions I can answer!
