Very good value for money. Help via e-mail is great and very fast. If it is threaded correctly (the coil) then she sews wonderfully. Like a little purring kitten. The volume is minimal and they can be transported very well. I was thinking really long, if I buy a sewing machine for this price, but it had still not looked back. I sit down and start right away without a great effort with the threading, because that's super easy. But all the best you get used to very quickly. I wish everyone who bought these Carina good luck!
