The N 1235/61 is an entry-level mechanical machine from W6, with 29 stitch programs in total: 21 utility and 8 decorative, selected with a dial. The hook is a metal CB type, described as robust and quiet, with simple threading. The needle threader is automatic despite the machine's entry-level position, and needle position is adjustable.
The arm frees up for free-arm sewing, 130 mm long, handy for cuffs and short trouser legs. The presser foot is a snap-on type and lifts in two positions; the buttonhole is made by hand in 4 steps with a dedicated dial. The maximum speed stated in the technical table is 860 stitches per minute, the motor draws 70 W, and the machine weighs just over 6 kg.
The walking foot for heavy fabrics is a separate accessory, not included, and the thread is cut by hand with small scissors, not an automatic cutter. Tension is set on a dial, as on any mechanical machine in this bracket.
