As a seamstress I have sewn with many machines. With this I will unfortunately not get along at the beginning. The thread tension can not properly regulate. Heavy fabrics, such as jeans, do not transport well. I could have done without this ix decorative stitches when the 2 basic stitches would work at least clever. The machine is around now and I'd like to throw out the window. .... Bought the web so you do not even a customer who helps further. But unfortunately there are also little more stores that sell sewing machines. Sorry!
