    Yup, had mine for 6 months, absolutely love it, get the open toe plate for the muvit foot SA195. It is awesome. If you have any questions PM me.

    Yes, got mine last October. Love it so far. Pieced a couple of quilts so far and quiliting my first one on it now. No problem with the machine, just having terrible muscle spasms, keeping me from enjoying it.

    You don't need software to download from the internet. You just need it if you want to digitize, enlarge a design, split a design, or play with density on a design. The machine can embroider anything as long as it is in the correct size and format. You just download the design, unzip it, store it on your zip drive, and plug the zip drive in the machine. One of my favorite websites is emblibrary.com. have fun with your new machine. I do recommend getting the 4x4 and 6x6 hoop as I have used those lots already. kenssewingcenter.com has good prices on accessories and stabilizer and shipping is always free. they have a starter pack for 40 bucks on stabilizer. Its a nice starter pack for basic stabilizer.

    I got my 6x6 hoop from
    http://www.sewingsupplywarehouse.com/hooptable.html
    the 4x4 is cheaper at allbrands or kens
