3. The lighting is poor.
4. The bobbin winding is not even.
5. The foot pedal is jerky (but my old Pfaff has the same problem)
6. The thing that drives me insane it the low bobbin indicator. (Pfaff must think I'm a total nincumpoop. It beeps and shows me the low bobbin message which I have to either acknowledge on the screen or restart the foot pedal. Then I am "allowed" to sew between 2" and 5" at a time where we repeat the exercise until the bobbin is finally empty. If thread wasn't as expensive, I would replace the bobbin as soon as the indicator beeps the first time. BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT!)
All that.......no thanks. Mine might actually not live long because I find myself clearing the display with considerable venom.
