I've had this machine for three months now and I love it. It's easy to understand and use. It's not an intimidating machine at all. I'm an adult beginning sewer, learning by reading books and practicing. I find it's perfect for my needs. I don't foresee myself becoming a sewing maniac but I like being creative and just making or repairing things. As a result, a machine like this totally fits my needs and the adorable Hello Kitty design helps make the work even more fun.

Update 02/20/2009:

I'm so glad we did! I'm an avid seamstress and have an old-school pfaff, but I have to admit I've been stealing her machine more and more frequentlym especially when I go out to sew!

Pros:
It's lightweight, making it perfect for travelling, for pulling out for a quick repair, and for young learners.

It's super easy to use. My daughter learned quickly how to sew with it and works on her own now.

It's SO cute. Adorable. Why can they make full sized machines this darling?

It's very good quality and sews like a dream. The sound is uniform and smooth and the stitch quality is excellent. No complaints from us and we've had it over a year!

Cons:
This doesn't do 'fancy' stuff. If you want a machine with fancy stitch capabilities and plan on... Read more
