I have this machine and been using it for dress making mostly. Using cotton, jersey, denim, light weight viscose. I love it so easy to use and the thread cutter is the best. Also the lock stitch is great when you don’t want that reverse stitch showing. The button holes are a dream and perfect every time👍🏻. I use the lightning stitch on the jersey and the twin needle to sew the hems, it gives a professional finish. I highly recommend this efficient and quiet machine. The instruction book is so helpful too showing which stitch to use in different situations.
