Bought this for a young friend learning to so. She was delighted. Great value for a machine with decorative stitches and extention table.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A real good machine, it goes through many layers of fabric with ease. I am a quilter and it has had a lot of time spent on it in the short time I have had it and am pleased with my purchase. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the 5 stars and for taking the time to write your review. We greatly appreciate you for sharing your experience with other shoppers.
I do make quilts and do piecing but had some other projects when the machine came. (I had to watch and rewatch videos to learn this machine.) Pillowcases and some garments have seams that need to be overcast or otherwise finished. This machine will NOT do even a simple edge zigzag nor any of the all in one seam stitches. The only two zigzag feet with the machine don't seem to have a full bottom plate for even pressure in that right hand cut edge of seam. Adjusting upper thread tension is no aid, the stitches glom up toward the left side, making a jelly roll kind of thing as I stitch. I believe I'm missing a proper presser foot.

You can't sew more than 2 layers of fabric. You can't sew where seams meet. The feed dogs will chew it up and not allow it move forward. It also will NOT allow free quilting. There is no button to lower the feed dogs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Their phone number is 800-474-6437.
Purchased this as an early Christmas present for my wife - she picked it out and has been wanting to get back into sewing for a long time. I gave it to her early because she used it to make gifts for her family for Christmas. She loves it and uses it weekly.
