I bought this machine for making bras. It works so well with the fine fabric. I am so very happy with it. I made a quilt using the fancy stitches in just a few days. And I am also using it for making clothing. I am happy with the price, there is a whole lot of machine and goodies in here for a reasonable price. A comparable machine from the sister line is 4 or 5 times as much. It is quiet. Everything is programable. The online manual is extensive. Download it, the workbook, and quick start guide. It will save you headaches. I made a note book. I personally really really like my Bernette b77. It is fun to sew on. My bobbin winder makes the nicest bobbins. The top load bobbin case is such a luxury. It automatically makes button hole. Just pop the button into the foot, pull down the buttonhole tab select which buttonhole design and press the pedal, dont stop it will stop on its own. Pretty much that sums up the machine..lit does it all for you. You just make sure the fabric stays even. It is revolutionary, from my old manual 11 stitches do it all yourself machine. .
