Approximate price paid for this machine?
Between $200 and $300 hundred, including tax.
What type of sewing you did/do with this machine?
basic sewing, some clothes. Haven't used it for a couple of years, but want to start again.
What is your satisfaction level with this machine?
I am very satisfied with my machine. It is a good basic machine with several "fancy" stitches, a buttonhole maker and several special feet. For the amount of sewing I do, it is just right. It doesn't thread itself or keep going while I get my coffee, but it does help me make a straight line and thread it correctly (with arrows and lines showing me the way). The front arm comes off for sewing in sleeves and other "round" pieces
Lessons Learned
- You don't really need an expensive machine, unless you do a lot of sewing, especially professionally. Simple clothes only need simple machines. Should I ever need a new machine, I would get this one again.
