Best Mechanical Sewing Machines for Man

this was my christmas gift, so i haven't had a chance to do more than check it out and i can't comment on durability.

other than that it is easy to use and seems fairly durable and user friendly.

i have three brother machine's including the embroidery/sewing machine and love their affordability, durability and ease of use.

threading a serger is and will always be a more complex process than threading a sewing machine.

as with most machines, the more it can do, the more complex the setup.

the only thing is if you do a lot of heavy duty sewing, then this machine may have trouble going through thicker fabrics.

it pulls material well once the tension is set appropriately, including my husband's heavy duty double reinforced jeans.

i previously had a brother machine that finally bit the dust after 26 years so i am hoping for comparable longevity.

this is so cheaply made and not at all user-friendly.

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.

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.
