it's not meant to be a heavy-duty machine, but it's never let me down.
very good beginner machine and it's durable.
it is clearly not designed for heavy duty work, but i am only interested is doing small jobs so it's perfect for me.
it is sturdy and i love it!
it's obvious it's for first-time users, but it's still durable and works great.

she is only 12 years old and it is a good buy and sturdy looking as a first machine.
unless you intend to do heavy duty sewing this machine is perfect.
while i have not had time to play with the decorative stitches much, i did use a couple of them and found it very easy to switch from one to another.
i bought this in february and have made some not-too-complex projects with it just fine.
feels a bit flimsy by sews through 4 layers at a time.
