I had no intention of buying an embroidery machine. Was taking my FW in to be serviced before giving it to my sister and my repairman started to show me the display machines he had for sale. All came with full warranty and lessons. So (having no sales resistance) i bought one. Luckily I didn't have to finance it, but he was willing to finance and if I wanted to up grade in 6 months he would give me the full price I paid for it. Mine is the sewing/embroidery machine and I do love it. It is used mostly for embroidery but it can sew like thru 8 layers of denim, so if I am doing something thick I use it.
