I bought this machine usually like other women due to reviews. It gave them recently at Lidl but as true they sold out pitch for me well for Amazon Which the price is really very favorable, when I consider that repair expert alone cost my 3 year old machine of privilege 80Euro I said never again because I can equal buy a new for it and so it was. If there one way or another rating was bad about it then I wonder if someone ever Experience has with nähen.Ich myself learned seamstress by profession and say that the Singer machine with their skills, do all what they do muss.Sie has not this much Frills but let's face it who benefit at all in life, other machinery, this many Nutzstiche.Meistens is just zigzag, straight stitch and automatic buttonhole What man needs more and that's enough also. Personally, I have the experience that when man used cheap threads makes the machine what it wants and then it's really not fun anymore to sew so I personally recommended.
