a few modest Features make the difference.

I‘m very new to sewing and had already purchased a Heavy Duty 4452. I was excited about all the new features and stitches in the 6800C.
Surprisingly though there's been just a few other features that have made this machine so much better for me as a beginner: Tie off stitch, Automatic up needle and variable speed control.
Tie off stitch.
There's a button to on the front of the machine that does a tie off stich or secure stitch. This secures the stitch in a very small area. So the stich can right up to the very edge and tie off in the tiniest of areas.Of course the machine still does a backwards stitch of you need to reinforce or tie off the stitch for a wider area.

Automatic up needle.
Actually the default is automatic up. So when to take your foot off the pedal the machine continues forward to the needle in the up position. It can also be configured to be automatically down. On top of that a quick press of the pedal will move the needle forward a half stitch. So if it's up it'll move to the full down position so you can pivot the fabric or back up again. Nice!

Variable speed control.
I love, love, love the Heavy Duty 4452, but one of the most frustrating things was the machine would seem to lurch forward with the slightest press of the pedal. With the 6800C there's a slider on the front of the machine that controls the top speed of the machine. So for winding a bobbin, or a long straight stitch on a big project the machine can go really fast. For a small project, with tight stiches the top speed can be reduced to allow a lot more control, and the speed is constant. As a beginner this little feature has been the best thing to help with control and quality of my projects.

I was excited about all the stitches and advance features and they are amazing, but these 3 little things have made the biggest difference for me!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Machine

I bought this as my first machine after using my friend's old brother machine from the early 80s. The upgrades are insane. It's super smooth and quiet. It ties off the thread and automatically chops off the excess when your done with just a button press. People say sewing is hard but this machine makes it quite simple. The only downside that I could find is the placement of the sticker that tells you how long you should use your needles before changing them. It's placed on the metal plate next to the bobbin assembly. It is not easy to get off and leaves a sticky square where it was placed.
I would recommend this to a friend!
