I BOUGHT THIS SEWING MACHINE CUZ I HAVE BOYS THAT, LETS JUST SAY THEY ARE NOT THE SIZE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. ANYWHO I'VE NEVER SEWED A DAY IN MY LIFE BUT THIS MACHINE IS SO EASY TO WORK THAT I WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT. IT WAS JST HEMING MY BOYS PANTS BUT COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER SEWED BEFORE, I WAS AMAZED!! I AM OF COURSE GOING TO TAKE SOME LESSONS CUZ I NOW WANT TO DO MORE AND USE ALL OF THE FUNCTIONS BUT MAN!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY STYLIST :)
