I sew quite a lot and have decided after a lot of thinking and compare for this machine. I had been a Pfaff, which was very expensive but also very good. However, constantly broken, which each time will cost about 80 euros Repair. That's why I'm looking for a simple machine with no frills (which is hardly a person needs) decided. When the plane arrived, I was put directly to my curtain and I was convinced. Flawless seams, no loops, not too loose - not tight. Is a bit strange that you can not set the stitch length or the zigzag width. On the bike there are different fixed settings for it. But if I want to have a wide zigzag with short distance ... you can not. The sewing light in my opinion is quite weak, I have an extra desk lamp on the sewing table. That is why a star deduction. Absolutely super is the coil that is inserted from above. Simply fooled, hold the thread hook and pull back. No high Get with the sewing needle. Super easy and ... you always see (the cover is transparent) how much is left on the spool. Everyone knows that to appreciate the bobbin thread was before the buttonhole stitching to end. All in all, must know each seamstress, who claims she has on a machine and if these are met. To me they absolutely sufficient.
