On my Bucket List = Learn to Sew. Well, I did and this sewing machine was my first machine, and it made learning to sew easy. It's threader removes the stress of looking for the hole tothread. The adjustable speed helped me get adjusted to the machine. The various stitches are easy to change. The accessories )zipper foot or button foot, etc. are easy to apply. I think if you are a beginner, it makes you work like a Pro. If you are a Pro, then you won't have any problem with this model.
