I like it! August 13, 2008 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I have had this machine for about a month. I have made a quilt, 4 shirts, and 3 sets of curtains with it. I am a sewing novice. I spent some time on my mother's machine as a kid, it was unfortunate as it broke a lot, and now I'm really learning how to do it through quilting and sewing classes.
Pros: Auto tension! I love it. It works every time. Drop in bobbin! I will never go back. Easy to select stitches. (however,do read the manual before doing twin needle work!) Lots of choices for embellishing items with embroidery. So far, no issues and I've sewn heavy and light fabrics.
Cons: The autothreader takes more work than doing it myself. You will need another light source if you like to sew at night.
I don't like that to reverse stitch I have to hold the button at the same time I guide my fabric. Couldn't they just let me press the button, then press the button again when I'm done with reverse? (That's not novice friendly!)
A bit heavy to carry. I'm tough, but carrying it for more than a short walk will get to you. Get a rollerboard carrier and skip the plastic case.
Great machine for the price!! June 23, 2008 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is my 1st brand new machine. I had always rec'd hand-me-downs before and they were never good machines to begin with. I would rate myself as a decent sewer. I recently got into quilting. This machine you will give you nice stiches, you don't have to worry about your project falling apart. (If you have ever had that happen you know how devasting it can be). I think this machine would be good for anyone, even if they were new to sewing. The manual is super easy and so is winding the bobbin and threading the machine. I did a lot of research and for the features, this was the best quality for the price. Good Luck to you and happy sewing!
