I bought this a year ago as I had been sewing on my mom's 1958 Singer. I have been so disappointed. I had to stop using it as everytime I did I had problems with the bobbin case. I pulled it out again recently to do some button holes and same thing. The thread would catch, the bobbin case came loose. I'd open it up, reset the case and try again with only the same issue. Along with a blinking message on the display that I could not find the meaning of. I spent a lot of time trying to problem solve using the manual and YouTube. In the end, I pulled out the Singer Slant machine in all it's antiquity and had no problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am a seamstress and This machine lacks the power to go through seams on jeans and it doesn’t like to go through heavy fabric when sewing zippers in coats. The cheaper machines have more power. Reverse button is in a horrible location , my hand is always hitting it when trying to turn the fabric

Had this now for a couple week, using it quite a bit already. I chose this machine for it's heavy duty sewing capability. The machine's computer is easy to use. I love the lock stitch and the cutter especially. I'm sewing on heavy sweater fabrics so I am cleaning under the plate often as fuzz accumulates quickly, but that's to be expected. I am also using the even feed foot for these projects, which at first was not working but seems to be okay now. The arm on the foot that follows the needle shaft would stick in the up position and then cause knotting up because the feed wasn't happening. Other brands I've used have a pronged arm that attaches around the needle shaft screw so it stays in place. This one only sets on top so there is nothing to keep it moving with the shaft. I rubber banded it in place but it would either come off or break. Again, it seems to be working now.
I bought this product in June, I have had nothing but problems with it. I can do a project without having to stop multiple times because it jams up. Now my reverse is not working correctly. I will never buy another one.

Changed the needle to denim needle and sewing canvas super easy. Fonts are not that great but it’ll do. Easy to thread and good machine.. Manual is not very helpful to me
I took delivery of the sewing machine 3 days after ordering because I chose to pay for the 2 day shipping and it came on time. The sewing machine is powerful enough to sew through denim which is why I purchased this particular model. My only complaints are, that not all the included items on the image on the box were in the box, and 2 particular quality control items plague this machine, 1- the bobbin does not wind evenly and 2- the foot pedal's plug has to be in a certain position in order to work. Once I found the right position for the plug, I taped the wire for the pedal in place onto the sewing machine. A slight inconvenience, but I won't encounter any downtime.
I would recommend this to a friend!
