Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great starter machine. This is my first machine. I've successfully created many pieces with it. (See photos for 2 of the things I've made) PROs: -This machine is so easy to thread once you get the hang of it. At first, you have to take your time and get to know the machine, but I can fill a bobbin in 60 seconds and thread this baby up in 10 seconds. -Automatic buttonhole maker is a breeze! Fun too. -Great value for your money. This machine will last you for many many projects, beginner and intermediate, if you treat it -Lightweight -Push button start/stop/reverse & speed is so easy, I will never be using a pedal again. (Plus the one that comes with this model is either stop or lightening fast) CONs: -As is, it will not work well with thick fabric, I would be wary to use demin materials. BUT im finding that if I change the presser foot, I am having better luck with thicker materials. -I was also having tension issues, but I figured out that the default presser foot was just not giving me any room for the fabric. On this machine, you cannot adjust the lower tension or presser foot tension. I've solved my problems by using specialized presser foots. (Bought a universal set of like, 25, for a good price on this website). Like all machines, the light is useless. Sew in the daylight! Or buy a clamp light, which I also did. -The only other "problem" I've had with this machine is the fabric getting jammed under the needle. It gets dragged down there, knotted in the bobbin thread, occasionally. I have to be wary when working with lacey fabric, delicate silk types, or just at the ends of fabric pieces in general.
