This machine is easy to use right out of the box. I have 0 experience with sewing machines and I was able to start working on my project within a couple of hours.
not sure built to last, i replaced a 50+ year old Singer Touch and Sews with the Patchwork, auto needle threader broke on first try, plastic lever broke in half, last thread guide around the needle seem like an after thought.
I'm a novice sewer and this machine was very easy to set-up with simple step-by-step instructions. The sewing foot works very smoothly and it was easy to thread and fill a bobbin. I'm excited to finish making my first project - an apron!
I’m having so much fun using my new machine! My grand daughter did her first sewing project on it. I’m currently making face masks and adding cute stitching to make them unique.
