I recently broke my Singer sewing machine of 23 yrs. I moved to a smaller place and needed a machine that's compact, lite and manageable. This machine is that and more. It's easy to thread, the stitches are perfect and there's no bunching or breaking of thread. It's what I needed.
I'm sure its easy to operate but since I'm a beginner I can't do anything with it because it did not come complete as advertised new. Parts weren't wrapped bobbins were missing directions are under written. I really don't know if it works satisfactory or not When I see new, I expect it to be new but most of things on Ebay advertised new are not, so you get what's left over, "RETURNS!"
