I saw just one review on the boards and that one doesn't answer my questions. So could you, if you own one of these, please answer the following: 1) What kind of needles? Regular sewing machine needles or serger type? 2) How difficult is it to do a rolled hem? 3) Did it come with any extra feet? 4) How easy is it to read the manual?

I just moved the knife and flipped the switch to 'r' - mine did not have extra feet. - manual was easy enough to read, but didn't like that they had 4 languages side-by-side. I Would still recommend a basic serger book or lots of you tube videos for more info on the basics... Eta... I Liked it but I upgraded to a new-to-me babylock imagine. It did need oiling often but was easy to thread once you had done it half a dozen times... -- Edited on 3/1/13 11:43 PM --
