good luck!

I have a 570. I bought it because it had some features my 153 didn't have, like the stitch regulator, larger throat space, better lighting, and the dual feed. I prefer my 153. I don't think my precision is what I'd like it to be, probably because of the wide feed dogs that accommodate the wider specialty stitches. It's quite a bit heavier than my 153. I think I would like one of the Eversewns better.

I love my Eversewn. However I purchased the Sparrow 20 to have a lighter weight machine to take to quilt retreats but now wish I’d have gotten a 25 or 30. Will be considering that before too long. They are a great machine for reasonable cost.
