Excellent quality and features. Highly recommend
I sew a lot. I’ve retired from my sewing business. And was accustomed to using $5000+ machines with fabulous options. Having a tune up on a fancy computerized sewing machine costs MORE that this new machine costs. Hmmmm,you do the math
I only miss 3 features from my old high-end machines:
1. Needle up/needle down button...easy to live without
2. Speed regulation for detailed work when I must...go...slow...
3. Automatic button hole maker. This has the one-step buttonhole, but it will keep sewing around and around and around. I have to stop sewing at the right time (no problem). But the system does not reset after completion of each button hole. Guessing the new starting position on the subsequent button hole is a crapshoot. Exiting, then straight sewing on a scrap, then returning to the button hole again might be the solution. I’m still new to this machine and finding it’s little quirks.
Overall I’m loving the versatility and stitch quality. I’m not having any difficulty at all. I’d highly recommend this machine. It has many key features and is a great home use machine. Heavy duty to boot!
