Because I need the machine only for small sewing, I did not want to spend much money on it. This machine is cheap and good at the same time. She sews quietly and any substance, whether it is thin or thick, with the same attitude. The stitches are equally beautiful. It's so easy to sew with her. After I was very unhappy with 2 machines of the same price range, from other suppliers, I now am delighted with this excellent purchase. The value for money is good and keeps the machine what is promised. I gave 5 stars, I think it has the supply and the product more than deserved. I am glad that I finally have a decent machine.
