Beautiful full size machineThis sewing machine is full size yet light weight. Even with my arthritis I can still move it around easily. The sewing quality is beautiful. It has lots of different selections for stitches. The directions are clear and precise and made it very easy to set the machine up. And it sews like a dream.

A surprising success for a small priceI foolishly thought this machine was quite primitive. I had to actually thread it, Set the tension, the stitch size, what needle to use. After doing all that and using it I realized it was a little gem. A work horse that gets the job done. It is sturdy and attractive, the price amazing with many different stitches to choose from. A very good purchase. I am staying with this machine for the forseeable future.

great simple machinei ran into the same issues from these reviews and realized it was user error. sewed through velcro and sequined material. i wish the instruction cd was available online because who has a cd drive anymore?

Everything I wanted and more!Of course I’m not sure of the durability cause I only got a few weeks ago. But it’s tough and sturdy, the price was amazing, and it does everything I want it to do.

Beautiful and sturdy machineI love this machine! Word of advice, register your product right away. I didn’t register my last machine so when something was wrong with it, I was out of luck. That was the older model of this machine and it took 5 years to break so that’s saying something! This machine is such a beautiful shade of blue. In the photos and on the box it looks like a very pale blue, but it’s actually more like a rich baby blue. I thought the design on the front would be a sticker but it’s actually a part of the plastic and the hearts are silver and shiny. I thought they’d be grey. All in all I’m pleasantly surprised. This machine is so easy to use. I like a lot more than my friend’s expensive Singer.

nice little machineonly have used it a few times.
seems good for light duty sewing. has many pre-set stitches for various projects.
no problems setting up and using. had the bobbin, lower thread, installed and ready to sew.

Light and easy to use good price.The machine is really light weight, easy to use even for a novice. I had bought a brother machine before thats why I chose this one. I don’t do a lot of sewing now so it meets my need. The only thing I dislike about it is that it dosen’t have the selection position forvthe needle. I like like when you can move the needle to center or to the far left or right. But other wise this is a good machine to work with and a good price

Hunk of JUNK!Oh brother! I spent at least 12 or 15 hours trying to get this machine to work properly! I had FIVE women who have seen for years try to help to no avail!! We tried everything and it just didn’t work!!! It’s packed up and being sent back! I can’t wait to never see this piece of junk again.

UnusableThis is my first ever sewing machine. I thought I got something decent but there is just TOO much struggle with this thing. Threads bunch up if you sewing anything thicker than two pieces of fabric and it jams up 7/10 times. I don’t know if it is my individual machine or what but I am really surprised to see so many good reviews for this machine and Brother. Severely disappointed and confused. I also don’t know if this is because of my lack of experience in sewing but I tried every troubleshooting option I could find. Nothing worked.
