I love this little machine. Not only does it live up to the Janome name but it is also cute as a button. Its a basic machine and great for beginners or for those planning to do just basic sewing and mending. For that purpose it is more then adequate. The bobbin winding and threading is different from the more sophisticated Janome machines but all it takes is time to read the manual and figure that out
I am very happy with this little machine and would definitely reccomend it.
