I compared the Passport 3 and decided that the extra difference in cost just for the thread cutter and a few other stitches was not worth the extra money.

It will sometimes "forget" the needle down and just start leaving the foot up....It also will not even sew at times....lights come on...nothing happens with the foot pedal or the start button. I can change settings and stitches...but no will sew at all. I turn it off, turn it on....will not sew. Then it will work fine....then it won't sew. then one day while I was scratching my head staring at it.....it took off at full speed and would not stop until I pulled the plug. I have brought it into the shop three times....and of course it works fine there....I use a surge protector with it....none of my other machines behave this way....I dunno...I want to get rid of it cuz I just don't trust it to bring to a class....but I don't want to sell a misbehaving machine.....
