This is a great machine. I have been making facemasks and hemming curtains on this machine. Moving from a 1950 classic Singer to this new one has saved me a lot of time.
This machine is easy to use. I have a larger Singer that I really like, but it is too heavy for taking to classes and quilting away from home. I wanted another Singer because I knew it would be a natural transition. I am not at expert at sewing. I decided to learn quilting after age seventy. Singers have been good machines for me.
Excellent machine and it runs go quiet and I love it. the only thing that I wish Singer had done was to include the manual and not have to go hunting for it.
