I am brand new to sewing, and this machine was not only exceptionally forgiving, but it was also a breeze to use. I am so happy I bought this model, it is solid and I can see having it for a long time.
I use it for everyday sewing and doing some masks for us to use. My husband is helping me check it out as I have some vision problems. It has worked great so far. Easy to thread. I do keep forgetting where backstitch is but do like the location and will soon remember where it is
