It is true that having left my singer "Starlett" for over 35 years ... it's not easy to get used to another ... But I'm happy, it's a convenient and lightweight machine. you just need to find the trick to start the installation of the wire and the can. But with practice it becomes a breeze. By cons unlike my old machine has laccès the can is much less accessible quickly and lacks proper protection, the cover is really too lightly. So I found the solution in the hand in its packing box when I range.
