What BoysMom likes about this machine
I was very surprised at how nicely this machine stitches. I bought this machine for our camper. At home I have a Brother 2500D and expected to be disappointed but was pleasantly surprised. The specialty stitches look very nice and even. The machine is easy to operate and I enjoy sewing with it.

What BoysMom does not like about this machine
It is very lightweight - can't sew through many layers. This machine is not one that I would expect to stand up to heavy use. It is for the person who does a little sewing now and then and wants to play with some of the more fun stitches out there.

sambient 7/24/09Thanks for reviewing one of the entry level machines out there. I'm guessing you picked it up at the infamous Wal-Mart?

sewme47 7/24/09I'm considering buying this as my daughter's first sewing machine. She mostly likes to do crafts and "re-purposing" a la Threadbanger remakes. I think this machine would allow her to express her creativity but also give her a little growing room. Thanks for the review!

Lil Flo 8/1/09I just saw this machine at Walmart and it looks very sturdy, especially for the price. Lots of nice stitches. Enhoy!
