I own a Gammill and an Empress. I am very inpressed by the Empress and sell them in my shop. They come with the Grace framestitch regulater, winds a bobbin as you sew lazer light and sight over the orking area. It is super easy to run and if you can doodle on paper you can run this machine. Made by Tinlizzie. Very affordable for the homeowner. Check this out before purchasing one, you won't be dissapointed.
