I bought this machine because my old mechanical one didn't have a walking foot or extension table and it is a great machine. I've made several quilts including quilting some king sized ones on it. That was a little challenging because the throat space is on the smaller side, but it was doable to do straight lines with the walking foot and a carefully rolled quilt

I'm happy with it, it's a back up machine for me.

I returned the first Patchwork I got. The thread guide on the top of the machine was down, into the top of the plastic. The reverse was so frustrating, the machine refused to sew after I had reversed a few stitches. The machine was very loud, I assumed that was how it was supposed to sound. And oh my goodness!, trying to use the needle threader was just not worth it. But I brought it back... because of the thread guide. JoAnn's gave me no trouble, and I am so glad I did. This machine, the same model, is so much better. It sees a beautiful stitch. It's quieter, and there is much to be improved in the needle threader, but this one does work better. The light is not great, it's led, and I expected TaDa, didn't get it. The feet don't raise very high, so it's hard to get thick things in there. However, I did make an overnight bag, with outdoor fabric, batting, and Soft and Stable, and it handled it.
I am a home sewer since I was a teenager, I sew simple patterns and crafts. This machine runs smooth, and has lots of extras. I havent used all of them yet, I'm hoping the embroidery and quilting feet it came with will work nicely. I would reccomend.
I bought this after making @ 70 Covid Masks on my old machine. (30 year old Singer, it still worked, but it was getting tired) I LOVE this machine! Enough special stitches to have fun, but not drive me nuts. Drop in bobbin, needle threader, back stitch button, etc. I've made a ton of masks! Great deal from Singer website and with all the extras it came with, truly a great deal!
I am in love with this purchase, I am so glad I was able to purchase this Machine. The sewing machine came is wonderful timing.

I've had this machine for 3 months do far I love it I'm learning quilting. The real test is coming soon when I try to quilt a queen size quilt. I have done small items so far place mats tote bag table runner.
I can't believe how fast I threaded it, it's one of those things I struggle with. I don't cringe at setting up the machine for a project. The feet are all easy to put on and the quick start guide is easy to follow and helpful. It's really cool that you can sew without the presser foot. I like the selection of stitches and how easy it is to move the needle position. It does just about everything but sew it for you!
