I'm wondering if anyone has this one and what you think. TIA!

I have this one, and they look almost identical except that mine has a photo holder on it where the stitch examples are.

I love mine!  I got it for my b-day a couple years ago, and it's been able to handle everything I throw at it, from simple stuff to crazy quilting - it also came with a bunch of feet an accessories.  It's easy to get the hang of for beginners, but powerful enough for skilled sewers.  I totally recommend it!!  My only issue is with the tension of the thread - I have to have it on pretty close to the lowest setting, but that might be because of something that I'm doing or something that got messed up during shipping or moving it around or something, and it really doesn't bother me that much.

I have that one and LOVE it! I was using a really old Kenmore that my grandma gave me and it was crapping out, missing stitches. I ordered this on off Amazon and use it a ton! I have a business making baby things (not diapers but might someday venture to that for myself ) so I needed something that was good. It comes with a bunch of different feet and i love how the machine can tell if you have the wrong foot on for certain stitches.

buy it, you won't regret it

That is the newer model of the one I have and I love love love it.  It was easy to learn on and I haven't had any problems with it.  Plus it has way more stitches than I will ever use (but they are nice to have just in case). HTH!

I have it and absolutely love it, it's really easy to use but still packs a lot of functionality. I'm by far a beginner, so I haven't tried out anything too fancy, but the more seasoned sewers I know are all very impressed with the number of feet and accessories it comes with.

Woo hoo! I'm so happy to hear all this good feedback. That's the one DH was going to get my for Christmas but he really wanted to make sure it was one I'd like so after researching, he checked with me. I will tell him yes.

This makes me want one so I can sew stuff.

I have a super cheap singer that I am not in love with. I may have to look into getting that one soon.
