I don't have one but they are really neat. There are a couple
that show up at my guild classes. There are different models
too.

I have the ZZ, and one of my OSMG's is fettling up an SP for me, so soon
I shall have two. :) My ZZ is on my web site, along with the Stella
Air Electronic I gave to a friend. I'm on the look out for an Air
Electronic for myself. The kids love them as much as the Featherweight,
when I take them in to school for teaching.

Looking for something to do normal mending and repair with - nothing
fancy. Is there a good used machine to get for this kind of purpose? I
am looking to do hemming, maybe sew simple things like a comforter
cover, etc. but nothing elaborate.

Well I may get hit for saying this but what the heck. I went through
the same thing with the machine hunt about 6 months ago. Went to the
opinion places on the web, on ebay, to all the dealers etc. I really
put some time into it. I am not a heavy sewer on a machine I do more
hand work actually. But I use a machine maybe 4-5 hours a month and
wanted one that could go through some heavy fabrics (think heavy duty
horse blankets and suede). I also needed an easy button holer and a few
cute stitches would top it off. I ended up with the walmart Brother,
the middle priced one, 159 $ or close to that. That's what I had had
before but the cheapest model and I wore it out over 12 years or so. I
decided against digital, this one has the knobs. Anyway I love it. With
walmart's return policy you can buy it take it home and carefully
unwrap it, try it a bit and if you don't like it pack it back up and
return it. If anything goes wrong in the first 90 days they will
exchange it.
The BAD thing is no classes etc. This machine is a bit smarter than I
am LOL but I'm learning.
