Data from official source
This is an electronic machine with a horizontal drop-in bobbin hook, selecting from 200 stitches with buttons and an LCD display instead of the dials of a mechanical machine. Stitch length reaches 4.5 mm and width 7 mm, and the 8 buttonhole styles are sewn in a single automatic pass.
The Start/Stop button lets you sew without the foot pedal, useful for staying still or working in tight spaces; presser foot pressure is adjustable, and the feed dogs can be dropped for darning or free-motion work. The needle threader is automatic and top speed reaches 800 stitches per minute.
It suits someone who sews regularly and wants to move from dials to an electronic panel without taking on a complex machine: anyone after combinable decorative stitching or large alphabets will find more in the higher models of the range.
