I was pleasantly surprised by this machine.
I have not touched a sewing machine since High School textile classes, and this machine was so easy to use I didn't even have to use the manual to get started.
Within 5 minutes, I had repaired the two pair of trousers I had bought the machine for.
It is a bit on the small side, but that works in my favour as I have a small desk and not much storage space. The packaging also has nice slots for the pedal and power unit, so you don't have to pack it all down neatly in the bags, you can just shove it back in the slots in the styrofoam and it all slots into the box again.
You don't even need to remove the threading, so it is ready for your next sewing session right away.
If I had any critique it would be that the pedal is a bit on the small side for my Jolly Green Giant feet, but that's more my problem than anything else and can be fixed easily as it is a standard pedal port.
The bobbin (underspool) is also locked under a panel with a screw. It is nice that you can see it at all times and know when it is about to run out, but annoying that you have to use a screwdriver at an annoying angle to change it.
It does come with 12 different types of stitches, 2 automatic speeds, a very bright work light, a thread cutter, a bobbin rethreader and a universal thread holder for both mini spools and regular size spools, making it a very good machine for its price.
Might be my best purchase this year.
