Love this machine! I bought this for my 10 year old for Xmas and it more than exceeded my expectations. I have been sewing for almost 2 years using a cheaper Brother machine which is alright does the job. I was a bit confused at first as the bobbin is front loading and I didn't put the bobbin back all the way (you will hear a click when you have in in properly) and it caused my needle to get stuck as I was trying to pull up my thread and I had to take apart the bobbin holder to get the needle out. I was almost afraid at this point that I ruined the machine but luckily I had figured out what I did wrong. So make sure you hear a snap or click when putting your bobbin case back in. After this little setback it was smooth sailing. I was impressed with this machine. My daughter was able to sew without any problems at all. I am actually loving this front loading bobbin and didn't have one problem with anything getting caught. My Brother machine is top loading and always have problems with the bobbin slipping up or getting tangled. I'm jealous my daughter has a better sewing machine than me. Lol. Anyway don't hesitate to buy this machine, im so happy it actually worked out. I think my next machine will definitely be a Janome, sure beats my Brother.
