I have had this machine for a year. Most of the sewing I have done on this machine is quilt piecing, general sewing, and some quilting. One feature that no one has mentioned (as far as I recall) is a special feature that in piecing quilts has saved me much time in piecing. As you begin your seam the machine sews a few stitches and backs up over them, securing the beginning of the seam. When you finish the seam, hit the reverse arrow and it secures the last stitches of the seam in the same way.
The stitches are consistently straight. It also comes with an attachable walking foot. The throat plate of the machine is clear making it visible to see if you are running out of thread.
There are better sewing machines of this type but the price ranges begin somewhere at $1,000. With all the "bells and whistles" this machine has, I would highly recommend it. |
This is a GREAT machine

I got this machine at a great price at Joann Fabrics. What is great about it is it comes with the extended table which is shown in the pictures, the walking foot, which is pretty expensive to buy separately, the 1/4 inch foot, and other quilting accessories, as well as multiple other snap on feet.
I got home, took it out of the box, popped the DVD which comes with the machine into my computer to see how to thread the bobbin (very simple), thread the needle (can be tricky) before I did any damage to the machine! I did both just fine.
This sewing machine is very quiet compared to my Huskystar 215. I tried out some of the stitched by simply touching the up and down buttons. Everything else adjusts automatically. There is a small pull out tray under the right side that pulls out with all of the stitches listed on it which is very convenient.
I like the automatic needle threader, drop in bobbin, and needle up/down features myself. You don't realize what you don't have until you do have it, I guess! |

| I had no practical experience with a sewing machine and though I was eager to try my hand at it, it always intimidated me. This was my first machine, bought for me by my sweet husband. It is truly very easy but, at the same time, it comes with some really cool accessories that would cost a lot if bought separately! I wish it came with better explanations of all the additional feet but at this price it's still very impressive, especially for beginners. |
Love it!
