This singer sewing machine is o.k. for the money but I expected it to have more features. It was also a little hard to sew on any material that was heavier than cotton. It tended to get hung up which lead me to have to keep threading and rethreading the needle. It slowed down the process just by not being able to go through the cloth that I had chosen. Also the light is not bright enough for those of us who have a hard enough time trying to see. But the price was right if your on a budget like me and It was the only sewing machine that I could afford.
