I thought this machine was ideal to start sewing but I finally was disappointed. This is not because of the German booklet as anyone is able to find in 2-click Internet. No, this machine is poorly designed and could discourage beginners. For example the can is very difficult to access when it has to change very often. Not only is there no way to know when the thread is finished but above 3 pieces must be removed before you can access it.
Next time I will make a little more money to have the level above.
