Euro-Pro Shark 80 - 7133 Sewing Machine Review

This little inexpensive sewing machine does and excellent job.  It is portable and lighweight.  It is extremely easy to thread and to sew with.  The instruction guide is very easy to understand. This machine is one tough worker.  I've sewed everything from fine lace to jean material and it doesn't skip a beat. It is an great machine for beginners and for advanced sewers. It has many capabilites and sewing options. It is very easy to jump from one option to another.  The bobbin is a standard one and I wish it was the drop in but it is okay as long as you tread it right and as long as the tread is wrapped correctly on the bobbin spool. The machine comes with quite a few sewing feet that are easy to put on. The one thing I don't like is how quickly the bobbin area becomes filled with compacted dust.  The brush they provide with the machine doesn't do a good enough job of cleaning.  I just take canned air and blow it out. You do have to constantly check for buildup.  All in all this is a great machine for the money.  It comes with it's own case.
