Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not a kids machine. For the price I had expected a machine only capable of doing very basic things like repair a torn seam, or kids projects. But this does almost everything the full-sized heavy machines do including button holes, lots of different stitches. It includes a DVD tutorial that is also on You-tube and I used it to learn to thread it, saw what I was doing wrong and now that I know the proper way to thread it ( and it really IS simple) I have done lots of things with it including hemming, made a dress and repaired many articles I had planned on taking to the dry cleaner for alteration. For the price of this machine, I have already saved 3 or 4 times what I would have paid at the dry cleaners. There is a full warranty and it is in perfect shape. The blue flowers make it look nice as well. I would recommend this for beginners and experienced sewers alike.
