I ordered this machine because I have the Innovis-10 A had before. The 10 A I loved as a beginner. Now I wanted to quite like to have some decorative stitches to more Aplizieren or Patchworken. The choice was clear - an inno-vis was needed. I tried now to make smart on the Internet, which is the right one for me, because in my circle of friends I do not know anyone with such a machine. I bought this because the stitch selection is great. Also an alphabet I found good. So, look forward when she was with me now. Setting up and thread - all super. But then- I have the manual read 2 times, but the key menu is not handled so well for me. The range of possibilities of the machine I can not exploit. But when sewing it is super. She's still quieter than my 10 A was and the new thread threader also works even better than before. All in all, I'm thrilled. For advanced seamstresses she is absolutely empfeheln. Although my going back, but I've already ordered the 35, so I "spin the wheel again" can :-). So absolute buy recommendation for advanced Everything seamstresses!
