This machine is so easy to use! It replaces a machine that is over 25 (good) years old, and I am so impressed. I learned to sew making my doll clothes on an old Singer treadle machine. It is amazing that I could see this huge jump in technology In my lifetime. Since I just got it, I haven't done much with it yet. I envision lots of clothing for the family, quilting, home decorating, etc. The possibilities are endless!
