Best Automatic Sewing Machines for Zippers, Denim

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.

it has plenty of functions--utility & decorative stitches & 4 built-in buttonholes--and comes with lots of accessories, including special presser feet.

i was accustomed to an old heavy duty singer.

i think it was worth the price i paid, but glad i've kept my sturdy old white machine too.

for simple straightforward sewing tasks i recommend it highly but if your sewing is complex or fancy i would say that going a few steps up in the price and staying with singer or perhaps pfaff..

it is very sturdy and stitched great right out of the box.
