Review Group #: 1 (4.50 stars) 26 Reviews	Light and portable • Switching the foots is very easy • Self threading needle, easy thread bobbin and push button sewing are great features »See Details The needle threader & easy thread bobbin are super features. The needle threader works well, and I love the buttonhole foot. This machine has many features of the more expensive models such as self threading needle and push button sewing Excellent for quilting!(since it came with an extention table, walking foot and free motion quilting foot) It's so lite and portable, very easy to take with you. It clicks into place instantly.My favorite foot is the walking foot that came with the machine. Switching the foots is very easy. It's a defective walking foot. The automatic bobbin threader is another nice feature. Threading the top and the bobbin alike is incredibly easy. Bobbin winding and machine threading are very easy and have diagrams on the machine itself. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 2 (3.00 stars) 19 Reviews	Few users faced problem with breaking thread and needle • Have to read manual to understand the correct way to use »See Details Yes I've broken the needle and tangled the thread a few times at first, but after reading the manual I found out why. I've also had problems with the needle hitting something in the bobbin casing (MANY bent needles) and it doesn't sew even semi thick fabrics all that well!. Now, I sew perfect zippers all the time on other machines. I loved this machine when I first bought it b/c it'd a happy purr when I sewed. Ladies, buy this machine without reservations, it really is everything you've read in all the reviews. I'm very disappointed with it because I've had problems constantly with the thread breaking in spite of doing everything right and using the right needles. I bought this sewing machine last February after I read the reviews on Amazon and I thought that this'll be good for easy sewing at home. From the first time we set it up, its been perfect. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 3 (5.00 stars) 18 Reviews	Easy to setup and use • Manual is simple and easy to understand • Easy to use for a beginner »See Details Easy to thread and easy to wind the bobbin. Easy to use for a beginner and the manual is simple and easy to understand. Very nice ! Lot's of features to make sewing easy. I found the machine very easy to set up and easy to use. It's easy to learn and so much fun... I sews quickly and flawlessly, and is super easy to learn. I'm a beginner and this machine was so easy to get started with! It's easy enough for a beginner but has lots of features she'll appreciate as she gets older. I'm a first time sewer and this was easy to use to learn on. I'm a beginner and have found it very easy to use. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 4 (2.50 stars) 15 Reviews	Stitch tension gives trouble • Breaks needles and jams on needles »See Details We changed out fabric, thread, needles and adjusted the tension. No matter what adjustments I make, or thread I use, the stitch tension is a mess. Also, it breaks needles all the time, but also jams on needles all the time. No matter how I messed with the tension it kept jamming. The thread broke often, regardless of the tension setting. Tension malfunctioned after 4 uses. The tension of the thread doesn't set automatically like some of the other machines I was looking at. I can't adjust the tension to make a difference. The right side just wouldn't stick, the thread would go down but wouldn't catch the bobbin thread.. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 5 (4.00 stars) 16 Reviews	Easy to thread • Easy to wind the bobbin • Hard at first to follow the instructions to thread it »See Details It's very easy to thread, wind a bobbin, and switch the presser feet. Easy to wind bobbin. Customer service was no help the first time. This machine made every project take 25% more time because of messing with tension and bobbin issues. Manual is fairly easy to understand. Easy to thread machine. One of the easiest machines to set up and start sewing.The manual is user friendly especially for beginners. I'd a little trouble at first following the instructions to thread it, (what're steps 8-10, does anybody know?) Even changing the needle and little foot by the needle were incredibly easy tasks to do with my machine and she seemed to struggle with hers. on the winder so that it 'locks', then wind some thread around it 5-6 times; it's is a little more timely than the ... »Hide Details
Review Group #: 6 (4.00 stars) 16 Reviews	Bobbin casing slips out of place and breaks needles • Comes with a load of extras, like 7 extra feet, needles, bobbins, and a twin set needle »See Details Double needle, large table, many stiches, needle threader, (stop/start, needle postion and revevers on machine). It's so easy to thread with the needle threader. This machine came with a load of extras, like 7 extra feet, needles, bobbins, and a twin set needle. The needle threader works great, but it didn't work with the needle that came in the machine as that needle was too small. The needle threader works, but you need patience. The bobbin casing slips out of place and breaks needles like no other. As a quilter I love the following features: needle up/needle down function, right-to-left needle adjustment, built-in quilting stitches, and a walking foot and oversized work table attachment that are included! The automatic needle threader is a blessing. You do need to study the manual to insert bobbin and use the automatic needle threader. I like the needle up, needle down button. »Hide Details
