I started completely and had never before touched a machine! The beginning was a little laborious, manual is clear but the images are less ... But after a few video views for the establishment of son and bobbin particular, it's all good! Now you would not think that there is still a week I did not know sewing! In fact, it is much simpler than you think and the points that you can do with are varied enough without being either too sophisticated. In addition, there are some accessories that some plastic cans, a seam ripper, a buttonhole foot, one foot for buttons, stand for zippers ... So all in all a good product for a (an) beginner (e) or more experienced (e) because very complete machine!
