Love the machine's ease of stitch selection and  it's lightweight so easy to move around. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the arm, without the table, is just too big for stitching cuffs. I had to keep my old machine for that.  And, the instructions on the self-threader are not clear. I had to search for an online video from a private user in order to figure it out.  Still, great machine for the money.
