Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this machine and feel it, so far, is well worth the price. First - DO NOT remove the Styrofoam taped in the inside of the hard cover. I am pretty sure that I wasn't supposed to and now it rests oddly on top of my machine. I am having my parents try to get it out of their trash so I can glue it back in. haha. Loves: The automatic needle threader The drop in bobbin system (easy peasy) The tension has not been adjusted at all from out of the box. Yes! The stiches!! There are so many and the machine automatically tells you which presser foot to use with which stich. Easy and so fun. The possibilities are endless with this machine. The font - yes there is only one, but it will do for my needs. It is small, but like I said, it will do and it is nice to have. The table attachment - it is probably small for quilters, but for regular sewers, it is really nice The DVD - totally cheezy, but worth watching for your first time using the machine. I wish it were way more instructional on the harder stuff like blind hems, but they do say it is meant to supplement the instruction manual. The speed control switch - It is great for beginners to start on the slow switch and then you don't accidentally stomp on the pedal and sew fast and crazy. The option to always have the needle end down in the fabric. This helps beginners not to accidentally lose their place if they have to lift the foot for any reason. The accessories - I was surprised at all the feet and needles it came with. You can do almost anything with this machine without need to purchase other items. All in all, I think this machine is wonder for beginners and more advanced sewers. It is a machine that can take you from beginner to advanced without having to purchase other accessories or even another machine. Disclaimer: I have only tried basic fabrics through this machine. I have not tried denim or really delicate fabric, so the jury is still out on that. Also, the LED lights are bright, but I still find the need to have a table lamp. Great purchase for the price. Also, I have read everywhere to only purchase Brother bobbins. I ordered a pack at the same time I got the machine because I think it only comes with 3-4 bobbins and you will need way more than that and I didn't see the Brother brand at my local fabric store.
