Another of my personal favorites because of the ease of use, the beautiful stitches and the lightweight travel size. I take one of these machines with me whenever I go on retreat. They never let me down. The 530 is the basic machine and the others add features as the numbers go up. I guarantee you will be pleased with any one of them-just be sure you're getting the features you want. Allow me to help
For an upgraded machine with a larger throat space and some foxy features, you will love this group of machines. They are affordably priced but give you some luxuries you may have been living without. This baby purrs and makes sewing a dream. This was my go to before I bought my Effie. I still use it whenever I need a free arm machine for garments, or when my Effie is being given a beauty treatment.
