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!
I sew everything on this machine. Love all the attachments and options. The extension is one of my favorites, gives you so much flat working surface. The needle threaded does not work anymore so I have to hand thread it.
