I drag out the Bernina if i need to do a zig-zag or buttonhole, which isn't very often. These machine are a great deal! You will love it! You may find this machine out there in cyberspace a little cheaper, but support your quilt shop! This machine is easily serviced by a good machine repair place. It is strictly a mechanical machine. Hardly any plastic. Some of the new features are...foot controller with thread trimming function, LED lighting, and a sub tension unit so that even the most tightly twisted threads will still feed through the bobbin and help in giving your stitches stable tension.Free shipping within in the U.
