I've been reading about it on Amazon.com and also perusing the reviews. I am really impressed with it but after reading some reviews, I don't know.
I really need a better machine than I have now but can't afford a really expensive machine.
You know the old saying ... "You get what you pay for"! This is a true story and thought I'd pass it along to you. I have a "very close friend" who owned and operated a Fabric Store, Sewing Machine Sales and Service Repair shop for 40 years. He knows sewing machines, inside and out ... if he told you your machine would drive your car, it would indeed drive your car! A party brought in a fairly new "Low Priced" Singer Sewing Machine for repair work. When he called the Singer Corp. for some needed parts .... they told him they didn't make replacement parts for those machines. When he told them it was a fairly new machine and asked how was he suppose to repair it ..... the Singer Corp. told him, "Sell them a "new" machine"! So, the message here is ... these "very cheap and inexpensive sewing machines" are what you call .... "Disposable Machines" (like disposable cameras).
