Which sewing machine?
I'm not in the market for anything fancy, so I am trying to decide between these two. Does anyone have experience with either of these? One is manual and the other is computerized. Thank you!

Re: Which sewing machine?
I have the XL3750, and I absolutely love it.
It took me a while to get used to at first because it seems to sew faster than other machines I've used, but once I'd figured it out it's actually really easy to control the speed. It has an automatic needle threader, which I never use, but it's really easy to thread. One thing I love, which is really simple but so helpful, is that the hand dial has a little notch on it so you can tell whether the needle is in the highest position ready for threading.
Let me see, what else... The extension table is a godsend. It's really light. I bought mine on Amazon (it's a bit cheaper there, by the way) and it came with so many extra accessories: presser feet; spare needles; spare bobbins... even a dust cover.
I seriously love this machine. And you can't beat a 25 year warranty.
