Best Automatic Sewing Machines for Decorative Stitches

my second machine was not heavy duty enough for what i do now.

it is very self explanatory, easy to follow directions, and well made.

the sewing area is wide and sturdy.

it has a lot of cute decorative stitches and a couple built in alphabets in addition to the usual utility stitches.

although the machine is very light and easy to carry, it doesn't feel or look cheaply made.

when i lifted the box and took out what seemed to be very light flimsy machine i thought to myself here we go....until i set it up and started to use it.

the decorative stitches are fun, but it did take a bit of time to tweak my sewing style to the computerized system.

it's a little flimsy but does the job even though i have to fiddle with it a bit to get the arm to wrap around the needle.

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.

pros: lightweight, easy threading, sews on buttons, automatic 1-step buttonholer, decorative stitches, quick change feet cons: may be best on lightweight fabrics, sometimes bundles bottom thread.

on the downside, it has a lot of plastic parts which may not be durable.

i gave durability a five even thoung it's only been only six months.

it does a beautiful job.on the downside, it has a lot of plastic parts which may not be durable.

the only down side is that the machine seems very fragile (however, that may not be exclusive or a negative to this machine...
