Had long sought, tested several machines, often benign rated returned. Decided in advance for the privilege per Comfort, which I highly recommend as well. The only weakness of this wonderful machine is that some "groans" when it geht- to really strong seams such as when pockets of denim. She sews everything but I was sorry in the soul, to see them suffer a little. In short-great machine. But- I lacked a more robust! "Singer" ----> was always a desire on my part, in spite of the often many negative opinions. Ordered with the above Singer Curvy. Unwrapped: Schick !!! Well -> Bitch I am. Really a stunningly beautiful but also bulky machine! It works for you! Beginning and sound The Curvy was set up quickly. Anleitungungen I need rather less but I saw through short and am of the opinion that most of it is well described. In short: The threading, ---> works already in the super privilege !!! But with the Singer Curvy, it's a dream! Bobbin thread does not have to be so avisiert- hochgeholt, ----> upper thread only once downward Fädelhilfe, super, watch out! Thread tension on automatic ---> foot pressure is automatically set (and this at its best, according to my previous experience, was skeptical). Let's go. Sewing. First of see, hear, feel. Sound: This wonderful singer is not to be described as very quiet. But not loud. They had for me-a fascinating sound, the "singing along", you can hear literally how fast to sew. Fascinated me from the first moment. Settings and Nähbild: Yes, - what can I say: The basic settings of extensive programs, are very good! The Nähbild is excellent, with the best straight-line stability. (Close, since I can remember but this machine is from the beginning with me by "you"! Such professional seams, I had so far hardly !!! Quilt: With batting I let the singer, at a very good quilting stitch, its course. The result is impeccable. Jeans: Several layers actually without a murmur! Toll! Finest Tüllstoffe: Without Problems. Applications: They can rotate during sewing. Sew slowly. Foot pressure adapts. Settings of the programs: Infinitely variable settings are wonderfully possible. These can be found by using sliders to preset range, which is indicated by three flashes of the red diode, as well as an acoustic signal. After that regulates self stufenlos- both stitch width, stitch length as well. (Not all stitch programs possible-which is generally the case!) Sewing: No problem - with standard programs she rushes before, - and back off! Of course, the drive programs are an exception. (When the machine known to me then only punctual stitching is also possible.) Freehand embroidery, monograms: Works perfectly: , Put on thread tension 1 (in my Singer :-)) platelets and adapt program at stitch width and stitch length. ETC ... -------------- Conclusion: A really fine, very robust machine that pulled me in its spell. This is the high-low needle position controls via handwheel, I feel none case disturbing, quite the contrary. So I close in more detail. HabZden compared to my Pro Comfort, which "needle down" provides the setting. Tip: Using the enclosed use primarily (at least in my case) with castors. Info and generally: Describe hiesig my true experience, am simply a consumer, ie purchaser and any case in any way, worked for mentioned products. Each should- independently by assessments to make his own picture of the desired product. Speaking for myself, the Singer Curvy is a really great, very good and the absolute right decision.
