Could Use Some Improvements
on November 29, 2020
Posted by: Kacy J
from Oak Lawn, IL
I am a professional alterationist and purchased this machine when it first came out as my goal is to always make an alteration look as if it “never happened.” While I do get good results most of the time, I do think there is room for improvement. 1. Increase the presser foot height. Tried to top cover the cuff on a sweater and it was very difficult getting the seam under the foot. 2. It hates sewing over bulky seams! It “ate” the aforementioned sweater!! You literally have to pull the fabric through when trying to sew across a seam on sweater knit or fleece fabric. 3. It sounds like a tank! (And that’s what I named my machine: “Tank.”) 4. There is no way you can get the seam of a sleeve cuff positioned under the needles to sew in the round. The bed area is too wide when the side plate is removed. Hence, you are forced to either turn the garment inside out in order to properly position the seam under the needles, or rip out an underarm seam in order to sew it flat. So, bottom line is....unless I really need to do a top cover-stitch on something, this machine sits as I much prefer my Janome CPX1000. Perhaps Angela Wolf can do more extensive videos on the operation of this machine in the case there are solutions for these issues.

The machine came with a defect, which was later fixed for no cost to me. Now the machine is working like magic.
