This was a gift as I've long been dreaming of an embroidery machine. As I'm in the middle of a big sewing project with a deadline, I haven't had a chance to play with it but once, to make sure it worked. Work it does---like a dream! Read the manual, unpackaged it, threaded it, hooped up some fabric and picked a design, and off it went. Literally out of the box and I was embroidering! This is definitely a very user-friendly machine and I can't wait to start embellishing outfits, towels, pillowcases, and more.
