I CAN SAY THEY ARE THE BEST my mom has one i dont know what the brand is, but i use it all the time, its soo easy, specially for all that detailing work where you can embroider names and letters and do little designs, i think for little doggie clothes, and little arts and craft ideas its the best thing, u wouldnt want an industrial machine, so that ones is great you can set it under your bed when u dont use it, or in a corner it is really a space saver as well
