There’s a good distinction between the instructions for winding the bobbin and threading the top half, so you don’t get them confused.

Note that the adjustable stitch width control on this model appears to be fairly limited, and may not affect all of the inbuilt stitches. Reverse stitches, used for securing the thread in the fabric at the beginning and end of a stitching line, are created with a Reverse Lever. The flat bed attachment is described as a storage compartment in the instructions, but as there is no ‘compartment’ so to speak you will need to put the accessories in another bag inside the compartment to avoid them spilling out when you open it. Most items are available for check and reserve with the exception of fabric and other items sold by the metre.The machine’s built in light is quite dim, I tested the machine during the daytime with my blinds closed to get an idea of the light quality. The machine has a small harp space (the central gap) so isn’t great for larger projects such as quilts or bulky clothing, but fine for alterations, making lighter weight garments and small-medium sized homewares.

For these reasons I would give this machine the lowest score for accessibility as you may need to ask someone for help to use a few of the functions. You should consult the manual for your machine to ensure that the machine is set up correctly when sewing different fabrics, and always sew test samples to get the best possible stitch quality and to achieve perfectly balanced tension. The needle positions on this model also appear to be limited and may only be controlled using the inbuilt stitch presets.

The included screwdriver is a flat metal piece, so is more slippery than a standard mini screwdriver. In a matching thread you wouldn’t notice this, but if you use a contrasting thread it would look messy. Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period. I don’t have any visual or hand mobility issues, but a needle threader is still a must for me, it can shave five minutes off your prep time and get you sewing quicker!
