I have one my dd gave me. I've been using my Brother with the up/down needle/auto thread/thread cutter/start/stop button BUT when I started on Clue #3 of Bonnie Hunter's mystery I just couldn't see where I was sewing. NOW I'm sewing on my little Lynn and she sews sooooo good and I can use my magnetized seam guide for a perfect scant 1/4" seam. Think I'll keep her out more. I have the black box in perfect condition along with all the attachments and a boat load of bobbins.
