I do a lot of dressmaking for my granddaughters, and I also do a lot of crafts..bag making, masks, bowl cosies etc.. and it sews like a dream. Using the embroidery function is so easy too, just select the pattern number, make sure you have the correct presser foot on (which it will display), and off you go. Photos show a bag embroidered on both sides, and these are not all of the embroidery patterns available, you are spoilt for choice. Having the extension table is an extra bonus, as these can be very expensive to buy separately (if available)! I would highly recommend this sewing machine, even to a novice sewer, I have been sewing for over 50 years, and have 2 other branded sewing machines, which are equal to this one in performance, but were a lot more expensive!

This machine is a delight to use. My old machine was not working so well and after reading the reviews I was very impressed. When I started to use the machine I could not believe how well it performed. Normal stitching is great three speed stitch function is brilliant for intricate sewing or applique. Have nothing but praise and would definitely recommend.
