Customer Reviews

Users state that they love how quickly they can get sewing with this machine. Even kids are able to get the hang of things very quickly. The extra “faces” give the machine a more personalized look. There are no problems with jamming or needle breakage. It’s lightweight so easy to move around. Threading is simple and it’s just enough machine to allow the most inexperienced sewer to do mending, alterations and explore a variety of home decor and basic clothing projects.
