A straight-stitch-only sewing machine with a speed of up to 1,600 stitches per minute. The automatic thread cutter and built-in needle threader cut down the steps at every seam, while the knee lifter leaves both hands free to guide the fabric. Presser foot pressure is set with a dial that has an indicator, and the presser foot lift is extra high. The hook (the rotating part that forms the stitch under the throat plate) is a side-loading full rotary type; the feed dog (the elements that move the fabric along) has three pieces. It has an independent motor for winding the bobbin, a speed slider and a memorized needle up/down position. It takes HLx5 needles and thread tension is adjusted by hand. It suits people who sew only straight stitch and want a fast machine; those who need zigzag or other stitches should look elsewhere.
