Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a professional seamstress, and have been using the same machine for the last 23 years. Last week I had to take my steady Eddy into the shop for the first time ever, and needed a replacement/backup ASAP. It would be easy for me to go completely overboard on a new machine, but we just bought a new house so the budget is cinched very tight right now. So I ordered this one. It arrived right on time, I took it out of the box and strung some denim gold thread through it and went straight through a pair of jeans, like butter. It hung up and hummed just a little at the tripled over flatbed seam (12 layers of stretch denim), but did go right through after that and it did everything else beautifully. And the finished seam looked exactly like a factory hem. The stitch length was dead on and the machine didn't get cranky over that heavy topstitch thread like my regular machine. Then I got a piece of scrap purple satin and played around with the settings, I went up and down with bright white thread changing the stitch and the stitch length just to see what they all look like. One word "WOW", she's a dynamite little honey, and fast too. The scrap bit was so fun my daughters were fighting over it last night.
