What snuffy808 likes about this machine
This machine has been easy to start using. I haven't had any sewing machine experience before and I read the instructions and was able to make garments, sew button holes, some decorative stitches too.
It's ok value for its price.

What snuffy808 does not like about this machine
From the start the tension was difficult and tricky to adjust.
The stitches are not always neat and pretty. A row of button holes with the same setting can look different.
It doesn't handle a variety of fabrics. It handles light to middle weight fabric ok but if you use light weight or heavy fabrics, the tension gets very uneven. Changing the needle or settings, don't really make much difference. And you have to pull the fabric to help it along, else it tends to get stuck.
