I bought the same one back in Nov. Haven't had a lot of time to sew but so far I love it. My old Touch and Sew could not be repaired and this one was recommended by the dealer (he also sells the Singer). For every 2 Singer bobbbins I bring in he will give me one Janome bobbin. Just have to take my thread off so I can save it before I take any more in to him. I am glad to hear all the good things about this machine. Thanks, everybody.
