Bad machine! - M. Ramey, Apr 01, 2008

I received this machine for Christmas, and thought I had a good machine. I knew nothing about sewing at the time, and thought this would be a good starter machine.

I whipped out a few pillow cases, even tried to sew a quilt and a dress. My main issue was the needle kept unthreading, and it seemed I couldn't sew a straight line. I figured it was just lack of experience on my part, boy was I wrong!

I'm really glad I decided to take a quilting class where I took this machine. I mentioned the problems and the experienced women there tried to help. They noticed the machine was pulling to the left, and did just about everything to try and fix it, but ultimately told me I had a bad sewing machine.

Had I not gotten advice from someone who knew much more than I did, I would have been learning on a faulty machine, and who knows where that would have led me!

Based on that, I can't recommend this machine to a beginner.

Not terrible, but not great. - Sarah C. Ramos, Mar 31, 2008

This is a decent machine for the price, but unless you like wrestling with your sewing machine on a fairly regular basis, I cannot recommend it.
It has some strange design kinks that cause thread tangles at the drop of a hat. Otherwise it seems sturdy and user friendly.

good for beginners - Davida Lopez, Mar 28, 2008

I had never used a sewing machine before this one. I bought this one because of the price, features, and good reviews. The first time I used it, I was a little lost, but I read the manual and I got the hang of it. The instructions are a bit difficult to decipher at first, as there are numerous different languages printed next to eachother, it was hard to find the english in sequence. Other than that, this is a great sewing machine. I've used it many times since I bought it, and it seems to be working well. It's also lightweight, and stores easily.

does not stitch well - Donna M. Griffin, Mar 08, 2008

I was looking forward to a machine that had pretty much automatic controls for tension but this has been very frustrating. No matter what setting the machine is set at the tension between thread and bobbin do not match up causing CONSTANT thread breaking and bobbin bunching! I could hand sew faster than this!!
