I bought my first new sewing machine. I find it easy to use and that makes it fun to sew. I am finding out more and more what my machine can do and I have experimented a little and find it easy to use the attachments. I also found that it can sew through bulky layers and even uneven bulky layers without any problems. A Terrific Machine! I Highly Recommend it to anyone, especially a novice or someone who is looking for a good general use sewing machine.
