I'm am very pleased with it. I had no idea it would be this nice of a machine for the cost. The machines I was thinking of buying were all over $10,000. Yep, they are great and beautiful. But I found out the fee to have one cleaned and checked started at $250 up. One brand was over $350. So when 95% of my sewing is a straight stitch I stepped back and thought it through a little more. DH was puzzled why I changed my mind. I can't explain it as I tend to spend money on myself with no guilt at all and I am certainly not cheap. I felt ticked a sewing machine could cost that much and here I was thinking of actually spending thousands for a sewing machine. I couldn't do it even though I could. I am truly happy for the ones in my sew group who bought the new Brother Luminaire. It's what they wanted and it is big and beautiful. I just couldn't do it. I know you will enjoy and love your new machine whichever one you choose. A new machine is exciting no matter from Walmart or dealer.
