Learned to sew on my Mother's machine ( I have her last machine and it's still works). First one I bought was a Singer, passed it one to family and got another. This is my first "new" style machine and I'm still learning. So far my impression has been good.
The tension is a little finicky but it seems to sew well otherwise.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A bit lighter than I'm used to, but love the way it stitches over bulky seams. I use it for making quilts and ordered the extension table that goes with it. Using that when quilting tends to stabilize and keep the machine from moving around as much. I really like the variety of fancy stitches available. Am very happy with it.
Great machine for the price. Easy to use. Works well. Love the thread cutter feature and needle thread feature! It's a bit noisy is my only complaint. Would recommend this machine to others.
