My wife wanted to begin some light quilting and patchwork projects. This is her first sewing machine so it is taking some effort to both get into sewing and learning the machine. No manual came with machine and the online version is still creating frustrations for her. In many cases, you have to find a support video that may span multiple machines OR look at some very limited content pictures to figure out the instructions on your own. All in all, it is a learning curve but can be managed as she gets more experience and use of the machine.
If you sign up for Singer emails, prepare for your inbox to be hit at least once a day! I really want them going to my wife's email but since it was a gift, they have my email. Ha ha.
I bought it as a gift for my daughter. She loves it. Her only complaint was instructions were not as good as they should have been. She watched some videos that were posted by other users and found what she needed to know.
