What pamelasienna likes about this machine
Love this machine! Still getting to know all the stitches (53) but already using more of them than I thought I would in the first couple of weeks.
The LED light is very good and the needle threader works for me every time so less eye-strain when changing thread colors often.
Includes a wide table for larger flat projects as well as free arm for cuffs and sleeves.
Very easy to wind perfect bobbins and to thread. I was up and working in minutes and haven't had to review many instructions. Very intuitive.
Stitch selector chart may need to be kept nearby while you get to know them all and I recommend experimenting with them at various settings on scrap fabric because some less obvious stitches can be better choices than you may have thought.
Smooth running and quiet enough to use while others in the house are sleeping or watching TV.
Glad I spent $30. over my budget for this machine! Also glad that I bought from a local merchant who took the time to show me features and let me try it out on various fabric scraps before I made the purchase.

What pamelasienna does not like about this machine
So far, I haven't encountered anything to complain about.
Does not come with case or cover but I am sewing a cover.
