This machine is fun to use. It does a very nice job of stitching with a wide variety of different stitch types (haven't tried embroidering yet).
2 of 2 found this helpful Lightweight (15lb). Manual buttons are placed efficiently on the front of the machine, can be used without the foot pedal. The speed control is useful (very slow to fast at a slide of a button). Post note: The downside to this model as well as the CS-80 (same machine w/o the embroidery function), is the bobbin winder tire. On both machines the bobbin winder tire didn't wear out, it turned to goo which dripped and smeared all over the interior. This took several hours to clean up. In order to get to the bobbin winder tire, you have to take the machine apart and remove the computer mother-board. The replacement tire is not standard, it's much much smaller than the usual tire, it is very specific to these models. I ordered the replacement tires from sewingpartsonline. If you are going to buy either of these models, it would do well to ask the seller if the bobbin winding mechanism is working. I use my other machines to wind the bobbins since it appears from their tiny size and material, they won't last long (and will make a mess of the interior of your machine).
