I have the ULT 2001, 2002, & 2003. I loved sewing on my 2002..it was so quiet, smooth and beautiful stitches--rarely connected the emb arm. Last year it began cycling on/off on/off. Dealer repair diagnosed as needing new power unit--which, of course, does not exist anywhere (as I've found). It is sitting in a closed , waiting for a fairy to appear with a miracle. That was my fave machine of all time. So now I sew on the 2001, but it is not the same. Odd how we become so attached to a machine.
