Amazing quality!
I’ve been using a 1942 Bel Aire (Singer knock off from back in the day. Weighs about 35lbs and has an externally housed motor) for years. It’s gotten to the point where the thought of wrestling with that beast has made me stop sewing! I realized I had a pile of projects building up, so I did my research and found this beauty. I had it out of the box and fully set up in less than 10 min with their clear picture instructions, and grabbed a bit of scrap and made a simple pouch in about 90 seconds without ANY issues or readjustments needed. The stitches are beautiful. The machine is fast and precise and feels sturdy while still being quiet and light weight. A lot of the complaints in the reviews (though there aren’t many) must be from novice sewers, because I have never used such a beautiful and effective machine! No weird parts (people were saying they wished they had a spool cap...but there is one. Also something about a felt piece for the bobbin? Crazy talk), no birds nests, simple and clear knobs and threading. And the automatic threader is so simple and genius! It will save some much time. Love the LED light, it is bright and effective. I would say more, but I have about 6 months worth of sewing to catch up on :)
