I like the machine and really haven't done enough to rate it. I gave the rating 4 stars and would have given 5 if there were clear directions on what bobbin is recommended. If I would have thought about the instruction manual I would have rated lower, the manual is in French, Spanish, and English without separation. You have to print all 70(?) pages and sort it out.
Seems to be a quality machine. I’ll let you know next year. It replaces a Janome 100 that was close in price from sewing store but had a number of issues over last eight years.
I love this sewing machine! It is straight forward and simple to use, and best of all, it is very similar to the sewing machine I grew up using. It’s like coming home! I can’t wait to discover all of its capabilities as I continue to renew my love of sewing.
Great machine, easy to use. Way better then the Tradition Line. Drop in bobbin is a game changer. Only wish they had more stitch options or the same as the Tradition line.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this machine in June when my 30yo Babylock failed to sew a thick seam. Worked well until this weekend when the bobbin winder stopped working, and the thread tension was very off. I adjusted the top thread tension to no avail finally resorting to adjusting the machine tension. They say you shouldn’t have to adjust the machine tension on a machine for normal sewing. I found that not to be the case for this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
