I'm one of the few who didn't love mine.

I bought it specifically for use at classes/retreats/sewing days, as they are so portable. Compact and lightweight, unlike my Bernina 153QE - which is over 20 years old.

It had been cleaned and checked at the local shop, but I ended up change the oil pad in the bottom of the machine; that took care of the notorious odor they have and was an easy process.

The stitch was nice, but not as nice as that of my Bernina, and it is really, really tiny. I was piecing, not quilting, so didn't need the extra throat space, but even for piecing, it was just too small for my taste. Maybe an 8" or so work space? After having it for several years, but never using it again, I sold it a few months ago.
