Getting the sewing machine was a brave adventure. Oh I know how to sew but I am still learning things. Thank goodness for youtube though, got me up to date with all the functions of the machine. I love and I mean love the start/stop button. Don't even have to use the foot feed. Thank goodness for that never have to worry to slow or too fast. Love the needle threader great with all kinds of threads. Only one minor thing is thee was not a quarter inch quilting with guide with the machine. Other than that minor item great machine for the money.
