I didn't get a chance to even use it. I set it up and followed directions for filling and loading the bobbin, which was easy to do. I then threaded the machine, again easy. I was ready to sew! (So I thought) I placed material under the foot and placed it in the down position. The needle hit the metal plate. I read the instruction book and made adjustments as recommended. Needle still hit plate. I called customer service and returned the machine. Very disappointed.
