Really pleased with my purchase, easy to use and easy to set up. I like the way the spool is easy to fit, just pop it in no fiddling with it. Has a light over the needle so you can see what you are sewing. It has different settings for stitches, not used them yet. It did take me a few goes at getting the tension right, but comes with clear instructions and a DVD which I could not view as I don't have a DVD player but managed with the instructions. It's not heavy easy to carry, the only downside is it does not have a proper carry handle only a grip space at the back but it's not that heavy. Came very well packaged with all parts very secured and kept in place. Not a very big machine but does a good job.
