I haven't sewn for over twenty years.  I have an old Singer machine which I'd planned on having repaired when my sister told me about this machine.  When I saw it on Wayfair for such a great price, I ordered it.  I'm already amazed at the things this machine can do!  An automatic thread cutter and needle threader were the first things that excited me.  Then I started watching videos and saw how easy it will be to make button holes, I was thrilled!  I do wish, however, that Singer would have an index in their instruction manual.  

Pros: Great value, well designed, many attachments, numerous stitches.
Cons: No index in the user manual.
