Okay, so I'm not sure why I needed to sew something but I was bit really hard by the sewing bug and I just had to have a sewing machine. Never mind that I haven't sewn anything since Home Economics... So I placed this dude in my cart and I adore him. Threading is a breeze, bobbin winding is a breeze. Heck, I screw up and need to re-thread because I'm an idiot and don't leave enough thread before I start and I just re-thread like it's nobody's business. I have made a few bags and masks and I'm loving the results! I'm having a blast!
Some points:
- This machine doesn't come with a carrying case. I sew in my small apartment at the kitchen table, so getting a tote or storage case is recommended to keep everything in place. That way, you get to sew more and set up less!
- No automatic needle threader. If you have an issue with that, I suggest getting a tool to help with that or getting the next model up that offers that feature.
- This machine is pretty light and has a nice sturdy construction and a fold down handle. The light feeling doesn't equate to "cheap" to me.
- This machine does not have one of those drop in bobbins. You have to remove the casing to get to the bobbin but it's really not a big deal.
- The pedal feels cheap and the cord isn't terribly long but it responds well and it is easy to get the hang of. I just hate how it is really light and slides around. Again, not a huge deal.
- It's addicting and fun! When I start, all of a sudden three hours have gone by and I have a project complete. What is this sorcery??
I know there are more cost effective machines but I really like the design of this one and I'm so glad I got it. It's so satisfying to make things. I highly recommend this product!
