I am a complete beginner and this machine has been brilliant. Easy to set up and use thanks to the brilliant QR code sticker attached which takes me straight to all the tutorials on how to do everything, it's been a blessing to have that. Great idea. It came with lots of lovely accessories, which I am still to use, but great to have. It has some lovely stitch options to really elevate your work. It's really nice and quiet and has a lovely sturdy big foot pedal. The needle threader is amazing and saves heaps of time. I really am happy with this purchase and look forward to learning more. Definitely recommend. It also looks really nice and the protective dust sleeve when you're not using it is another lovely touch. Thanks x
