Great Machine
on March 9, 2022
Posted by: sewingmom
I've been very pleased so far! I needed something a little heavier for some home projects and husband's clothing repairs. I've tried nearly every stitch with not one issue. It doesn't seem to have a "happy spot" for heavy duty threads, at least not that I've found yet, that is really the only disappointment and I'm still hoping to find the right tension, needled thread combo to make it work. It's very simple to use and extremely smooth, i've also used it for free style quilting and because it's so smooth, it's very easy to use!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Handles nicely, love the speed control, auto cutting, and weight of machine. My first project with it was alternating a amigo horse coat to fit a Great Dane. It was able to handle the thickness of the fabric with the binding and attaching the webbing back with the Velcro. I took it into school for my students to try and they loved it. I’m hoping to see if the school will purchase some for me next year. We had some of the old school models from the 1970’s.

Awesome upgrade, so many possibilities! I've been fighting with 2 vintage machines from my childhood, repairing and replacing parts and fiddling with screwdrivers at each sewing session, just general frustration. This machine sews laps around my old ones. So many stitches, so many options, so many layers. :) I loved that it was threaded so i could test it right out of the box! Easy and awesome. I just wish there was a recycling program for the old machines...

VERY Disappointed
on September 9, 2021
Posted by: On Pins and Needles
from Corpus Christi, TX
Got my machine three weeks ago. Heard it had a powerful motor and automatic threader. Both claims are false. Does not sew through multiple layers. Automatic threader was a joke to begin with==stone knives and bear skins--and it quit working a week ago. I spend more time wrestling with the machine than sewing. Do not fall for the hype. This is an awful machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Limited by presser height
on September 9, 2021
Posted by: phazei
from Seattle, WAZ
I spent an entire day troubleshooting a ridiculous issue. When using the walking foot, the presser foot can't be higher than 3mm or the thread tensioner will be disengaged which will prevent the stitch from working. This machine has a max presser foot height of 6mm (only 3mm with walking foot), which is 20%+ less than the standard 5/16" or 8mm. For a heavy duty machine that could be sewing thick leather or other fabrics, this prevents the machine from working even if the motor is strong enough to handle it. So truly disappointing, because of this, the walking foot doesn't even work when it's needed most.
Also, would be so nice and easy if they made it possible to cycle through the stitches on M2-M4 with the up and down buttons, but no, have to type in the number only, meh.

I never had a computerized sewing machine. I took a chance on this and now I wonder what took me so long. It does everything and more for this beginner.
