@Dwight is that an older model 111w155 or newer? I am still definitely a hobbyist, but I am absolutely looking for a much faster way to do the little sewing that I do. I just made a hairdressers holster for my girlfriend and I spent hours and hours sewing what it would have taken me about 10 min to sew with a machine. I just don't do enough sewing to justify spending 1500 bucks on a machine.
