Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this sewing machine last February after I read the reviews on Amazon and I thought that this will be good for easy sewing at home. I am a seamstress and I also have a very good sewing machine that I use constantly, this one I bought just for the different stitches. I haven't even used it that much until last week when it broke down completely. It was probably defective from the start, (my husband fixes appliances and he looked at it and couldn't believe how cheaply made this is) and thinks it had a problem from the start when I bought it. I am very disappointed with it because I've had problems constantly with the thread breaking in spite of doing everything right and using the right needles. If you don't have the expensive good quality thread, good luck sewing with this one. I want to warn people that this is not as good of a deal as it looks like!
