I had one and loved it. I gave it to a friend in the military who loved it too. He said it was the best machine he ever used for sewing the patches on his uniforms. He asked me a couple of times if he could buy it. He had just returned from his 3rd Middle East deployment and wanted to borrow it again, so I gave it to him. He, of course, wasn't a bit interested in the embroidery and didn't want the cards, so if you are interested in the embroidery cards PM me and we can chat.
