I am delighted with this purchase: This machine made all the necessary points a garment garment (overcasting, straight stitches invisible points for the reverse, button-closure zipper). You can adjust the length and stitch width for the fabric and the tension (but the factory setting is in my opinion suitable for all types of tissues). It is very simple to use (and the instructions supplied is very clear). And she is not expensive! I really advise to all persons who wish to make their clothes themselves: no need for an ultra-sophisticated machine (hence expensive) that can make points that are never used, Singer MC 1507 is ample. And besides, it is not the sound of pan, but a soft purr, even at maximum speed. It is a pleasure to sew with! Happy sewing everybody!
