SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
This is an electronic machine with an LCD screen and 600 built-in stitches, which add up to 1,172 stitch applications once you count the combinations with the 5-alphabet lettering and mirror-image functions. Thread tension adjusts itself to the stitch you select, and the one-step buttonhole comes in 13 styles.
The interior frame is metal, the built-in thread cutter trims both top and bobbin thread with one button, and the 25 needle positions let you work close to edges, zippers and trims without shifting the fabric. The included extension table widens the work surface for quilts and larger projects, and the speed control caps the maximum (850 stitches per minute) for anyone who prefers working at a steadier pace.
It suits people who finish garments and want room to customize stitches and lettering without moving up to a professional machine; anyone after only basic stitches and dials will find more features than they need.
