Product Information

But I recommend computerized machines for hobby sewists, they have more features that you can grow with. The stitch length and width can be easily adjusted, allowing more control over the stitching outcome. You’ll need to experiment with the tension for thin jersey, silk, and chiffon, but you can create (mostly) smooth and flat seams. Checking the needle ■ Press the power switch toward the “I” mark to turn the main power and sewing light on. Our expert testers try out this entry-level sewing machine – perfect for beginners or those looking for a second machine to take to classes or sewing clubs!

The machine has a nice simple layout – the only visible dials are the stitch selection dial, the tension setting dial and the backstitch lever. This model appears to have no special features for presser foot adjustment, so if this feature is important to you, you may like to consider machines with manual / adjustable presser foot pressure. The foot doesn’t grip the fabric enough when you’re sewing multiple layers, so it does wander slightly to the left or right by 1/8″ (3mm). If the available electrical outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this • equipment, you should contact your authorized dealer to obtain the correct lead.Operation Manual Sewing Machine IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read these safety instructions before attempting to use the machine.

Here’s what I found annoying: the stiff backstitch lever, bad lighting, the thread jumping out of the needle, and the lack of a “normal” manual. g. if you book a rental for on Monday evening for Wednesday morning), then this cooling-off period does not apply.

In a matching thread you wouldn’t notice this, but if you use a contrasting thread it would look messy.
