OMG!  If I had known then what I know now!  This machine is way too sensitive and spends most of its time beeping warning messages because it doesn't like the thread, fabric or whatever else you try to do.  I'm an accomplished sewer and I can tell you, this machine isn't worth the money to spend most of your time fighting with it.  I wish I had bought something else.  So disappointed with this machine.  If you want to sew your way and not have the machine try to tell you what you can or can't do, buy something else.
