THere's no up and don't needle control with the foot pedal anymore. Horrible zipper foot!

I say go with your gut feeling . Reviews on it were varied that I saw, but it was consistent about the display being hard to read and the embroidery area being too small and too hard to download software.You'll know within a day or two of use. Listen to your gut feeling it is usually right. :thumbup:

Did you get any classes? If you bought it from a Big Box Store that is a mistake. Go to a dealer and try the machines. Perhaps there is a used one that would do your labels. Then you will get a lesson or class and help when you need it. ;-)

It's only a short time using your new machine. Give it a while and maybe you will change your mind. Sometimes it takes time getting used to something new. Good luck! Let us know how you feel a month from now. It will be interesting to see if it has grown on you.

I have a Brothers also and the manual stinks. Hopefully, there is a way to get a space and someone on the "board" can help you. Have always loved the Brother's products, but not so much any more. I am taking my Pfaff in to the dealer for service. Hopefully, they can fix my stitch timing so that I can FMQ. If not, I guess I am in for a spendy shopping day. Good Luck
