Rating  - beware
The tension was off from the start. I could not sew a thing, thread broke, material puckered, and I was endlessly re threading, and trying just to sew any stitch. After working with this machine a couple of times, the bobbin holder popped out, breaking the needle. I had this machine about a week, and now it is on its way back for a refund. My 35 year old Kenmore sews better than this did.
Rating  - WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!!!
I have been looking at this machine for a while then decided to e-mail it my boyfriend as a "hint" for Christmas. Well, to my surprise it showed up and he gave it to me Saturday as a early Christmas present. This machine is far more than I expected with all of the different stitches, feet and it's so easy to use. Even for a first timer to the world of sewing. I would like to point out something very important about this machine. You see, I have MS (multiple sclerosis) so my eyesight, steadiness in my hands and strength in my legs are poor, so when I found out that you can operate this machine WITHOUT the foot control, it was a God send! All I have to do is push a button, and it starts sewing automatically and stops at a touch of a button. For anyone with a disability, this would be a great machine to have so now, we don't have to give up on things we love because of our disabilities. If your looking for a good machine that is easy to use, stop looking, this one is it!
As far as the person goes that gave it a bad review about the font stitches. I had that problem too, until I figured out you have to adjust the top and bottom thread tension. Once you do that, you will get a perfect design. This is especially important if you are using decorative threads. Just give it some time, you will get the perfect effects you are looking for.
I have owned many machines in my time, from cheap ones to top of the line ones, and this machine is the one I use all the time now. In fact, my top of the line model is now collecting dust!
Please, don't be afraid to get this machine. You will love. Take it from me, a handicapped woman with a spirit that doesn't give up!
Rating - This machine is my new baby.
I absolutely LOVE this machine. It is so easy to use and at a fraction of the cost of machines with similar options, it is a steal. There are more decorative stitches than I will ever be able to use, but I will sure try hard. It makes piecing quilts so easy. I can adjust the needle to correct my 1/4" seams, so I seldom use the seam ripper anymore. That is always a plus.
It also sews through very thick layers with ease. Hemming jeans is a breeze with this machine. It didn't even strain a bit over the denim hump. That's what really convinced me that I had gotten a great machine.
The person that gave this machine a bad review over 1 or 2 decorative stitches not looking the way they wanted them to look really didn't give it a fair deal. That has nothing to do with the quality of the machine, and this machine is a super quality machine, especially for the price. I did lots of research before deciding on this one, and I'm glad I did.
I hope this helps.
Rating  - great for fun and family not for business
I purchased the machine and was very excited to get it . I tried it out and it was a huge disapointment. The fonts could not be made smaller or larger and the scripted font didn't connect together - the letters had funky thread stitches between each letter - now for block letters I understand - they are not connected so it would have to have some way to keeps stitching but for the script it would be the right thing to have the letters just begin and end with the loopy lines that connect script letters in a word - but it didn't it was HORRIBLE looking. I am returning the machine ASAP because I can't use.
It's probably really good for the novice who isn't really interested in sellin quality items. but I wouldn't recomend it to anyone who plans to use the decorative stitches or anything for a professial product. Not good quality for that.
Good luck with your search.
