Congrats on a great machine... I've had this one for years and have loved it... I recently upgraded to the NQ3500D and will soon sell my beloved PC 420 (space issues), but I did make a video to help other people who struggle with the default needle left issue... I was breaking too many needles on the machine with the quarter inch foot on and wanted the machine to start always in the middle needle position... I hope this helps!

I've had a Brother SQ9050 for a few years now, and just can't say enough good things about it. The only thing your machine has that mine doesn't is the thread cutter..that should be a great feature to have! I think you will be very happy with the new machine.
The only thing to watch for is lint building up in the bobbin area..really messes with your stitches! I can tell with mine because the sound changes...(by the way..it is such a quiet machine!)..but it's a learning curve and you'll learn fast enough that if your stitches don't look right or the sound gets a little louder, you need to clean your bobbin area!

Donna, the PC 420 boasts many more features than just the thread cutter that set it apart from lower end machines... it has a metal internal frame, a 1 touch, 1 finger needle threader that works the first time every time, adjustable presser foot pressure, a knee lifter, and the My Custom Stitch feature.... truly, it's a value packed work horse!
