Review by Satisfied S
Lightweight and easy to handle. Effortless machining. I like the visible spool. Probably won't use all programs, but they are there if required. Pity a couple of extras e.g. zipper foot, aren't included as standard. Sooner have those than free scissors, but overall very good value for money.

Review by Margaret Mckinnon
Really enjoying this machine, excellent for felting and adding embellishments after wet felting. I have also done some embellishing on to silk with interesting results. It is quiet and easy to use with very sensitive accelleration so it is easy to control. Was worried about needles breaking but have broken none so far, giving it time for the needles to go up to their position helps I think. So glad I bought it.

I am returning to sewing after 30 years. I think this is an ideal machine for a beginner and for an out of practice person like me. The instructions are straightforward to follow, the machine light enough to easily handle. Very happy with my purchase.

Excellent machine. I had always used Pfaff but was foolhardy and veered away to another manufactirer...a huge and expensive mistake! Back to Pfaff. The machine is well built and I would recommend it .

My experience with sewing has been very varied over the past 50 years - everything from simple garments through to upholstery and canvas awnings. These tasks were accomplished with an old Merritt, a terrible Singer Slant-o-matic and more recently a 40 year old Elna Lotus. Wanting to move on to something more challenging it was time to consider quilting. After researching, talking to friends and visiting outlets the one machine that stood out for my requirements and budget was this machine. My daughter has had a Janome we gave her for her 21st birthday, never having had a days trouble with it, so I was aware of the Janome quality. After speaking to a VERY helpful representative of Sewing Machine Sales I was willingly persuaded to buy this machine. It duly arrived the next day, communications could not have been better, informed of the hour it would arrive! I could not wait to unpack it and make a swatch of the stitches available. What a surprise, not a single dropped stitch or snagged thread.The instruction manual is well written and easy to follow. The only adjustment required was to release the bottom tension a little to get a perfect stitch with the material and thread I was using. Because I am going to move onto quilting, the bonus quilting pack on offer made it more attractive. The machine is quiet and runs so smoothly, it is a pleasure to use. I may have to get used to using it without the foot pedal but think I will continue to use it as that is what I am most comfortable with. The needle up/down stop is most useful as well as the locking feature at the beginning and end of a run. Now I can't wait to get going on my first project. I bought my grand daughter a new more basic machine to learn on so some fun times are predicted with "sew along" sessions together. The only thing I would like to have is a hard cover for protection of my machine. Not sure if this is available as an accessory. Thank you SMS for a pleasant transaction.

What a super machine this is, so easy to use memorizing patterns and names. Love the needle threader, button for needle set down for pivoting, the extension table is a great extra, fabulous machine. I have told friends of mine and are thinking of buying one. Absolutely great. Thank you so much.

I bought this machine for my wife. She is delighted with it. She finds it very easy to use. Sewing is not her hobby but she loves the machine so much she can't leave it alone.
