I have a necchi 536 (i think) and I love it. The only down side I think it has, is that I go through needles more often than my other machine. She is smooth and quiet, yet can sew through layers and layers. The machine I have is pretty basic, but does what I need it to do. I would buy this machine over again if I had to. As luck would have it, I only paid $13 for her at a TS.
