What is your satisfaction level with this machine?
VERY, it is everything I wanted and more. It is new to me so I am still learning all it can do. It will take time to learn everything it actually does. From the BSR, and a zillion feet..it is wonderful. The stitches are so perfect and it "tells me" when I am doing somethings wrong. I absolutely love the auto threader.
I want to start quilting.
