This is a mechanical machine built for beginners: 12 stitches spanning basic, decorative, scallop and zigzag patterns, with length adjustable up to 4 mm and zigzag width up to 5 mm. The buttonhole is sewn in a single automatic pass, and the needle threader is automatic too.

The frame is metal, as are the spool pin and the presser foot mount, and the 6-row feed helps push denim and canvas through without skipping stitches. A backlit LED viewer shows the selected stitch, and the protected motor keeps the machine quiet.

It has no stretch stitches: knit and jersey fabrics need a different machine, or a lot of practice with the right needle. It is a solid base for hems, repairs and first garments, not for anyone after stretch seams or a wide range of decorative patterns.
