I'm not a professional sewing but sometimes I make some small parts for me or my daughters. Not easy to get a work without a form. Unable to work on oneself and others are not always available. The model is available and concilant. Very easy to assemble, it is adjustable in height. He may be accused of not adjusting for various sizes of measurement but I chose this model because it matches the template of my models. No need to pay more when it is not needed. Obviously, the Mariana model will not suit professional use. It can also be useful to present a garment for a sale or exhibition. Moreover elegance, very soft fabric decorated with baroque designs makes this model a beautiful object of decoration in a room or workshop.
