Date: 8/7/12 3:45 PM Oh this one is going to be even more affordable than the other two...appears to have fewer stitches. I have a feeling...just a guess...that this one will replace the select 4...probably will have just one mechanical machine vs 3 that they have now. It looks like a real winner. Before it was hard to get IDT in anything but a pricey, fully loaded model OR you go to the mechanical selects with not many decorative stitches..which is fine...but for $500-ish, you like a few. I bet this one will be in the $600-ish range and it has a lot more to offer. |

Date: 8/7/12 4:20 PM It doesn't look like it has built in scissors to cut the stitch though, and I really would like to have that in any machine. I also wonder how much this one will weigh. I've kind of wanted a machine to take to classes that isn't so heavy.
It is a pretty machine for sure. |

Date: 8/7/12 4:42 PM To me it looks like it has 99 stitches + alphanumaric.
When I was making a streatch drag outfit last friday on my SS machine i sure was missing the streatch stitch ... LOL ..
All night long that dress was making threats to come right off my body! Threads were snapping all night.
HA - Im thinking about that new singer with thread snips, though -- for like 399. and just using the SS machine for everything else ... I keep thuinking that I should add to my Ambition review that i think the machine is like THE machine for garment makers ... I dont know if I think it had the POWER to quilt the way I need to quilt .. but, I am not every quilter -- so ... I dont want to really say that.
I notice they also dont have as many lights on this new model. No light in the center of the bed.
