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
This replaced my 30 year old Brother sewing machine and I cannot believe the difference. So easy to use, so smooth, easy to thread, I love the visible bobbin whilst sewing, never a surprise when it runs out of thread. I am not a great seamstress, I wanted something basic and reliable and easy to use and this machine exceeds all my expectations - I love it!
