I bought this machine about a year ago from Sewing Machines Plus and have not regreted it. It has all the power of a full sized Singer, but is 3/4 the size, making it easier to store and transport. The display is easy to understand and use. On top of that, the number and quality of stitch functions is superb. I've had nothing but great results with the button function and the embroidery function, and the decorative stitches have come in handy for adding adorable borders on recieving blankets. Further, I've used this maching for sewing everything from satin to a thick fleece, wools, and faux leather, and the results are always the same: quality stitches that hold up. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to invest in a great Singer sewing machine.
