Sede_Mae I am so happy for you that you are relieved now! It sounds great and like you can now just be excited and happy to start stitching away on your new machine. One thing that was mentioned earlier that we all might think about regarding making lg purchases; some of the reviews are usually written by a very dissatisfied Customer. However not all happy & satisfied Customers will take the time to write a review. So for ever 1 bad review, there may be 50 or more happy folks that did not write a thing.
