Great workhorse for "long term use " in the home studio!

I've waited a few months to write this review because I wanted to give the car time to have a problem (if it ever did). So far, so good! I have a home studio where I do crafts. It typifies me spending 4-6 hours a day sewing M-Sa. This car worked great! I prefer a mechanical machine to a computerized one, so keep that in mind as you read this review. ADVANTAGES: * Automatic needle threader * Built-in bobbin winder (works really well!) * Horizontal bobbin with cover function is great. Thread unwinds smoothly * Added vertical spool pin (so you don't have to take thread out of the machine to wind a new spool) * ALL THE FEED DOGS! There are so many of these that you can almost let go of them and your project will move on! * Built-in stitch guide with sewing foot recommendations * Easy to turn on and off the presser foot lever. Change these kids in a snap! No more constantly screwing and unscrewing (my previous car was 20 years old so this was a nice upgrade for me) * Walking attachment. This is ideal for multi-layered projects. Keeps everything in order and moves smoothly * It's relatively quiet * Drop-in spool with see-through window helps you know when the spool is nearing the end. No more lower thread at the crucial moment of my projects! (I didn't use my seam ripper FAST that much. This one was huge for me) * Well weighted. This car doesn't jump when you step to the medal. smooth. * Beautiful zigzag stitches with a good range of stitch widths and needle positions. CONS: * To reset after a zigzag stitch, you not only have to move the stitch selector all the way, you also have to move the needle position slider all the way. Symbol Right (O) and then back to where you need it next. Otherwise it just keeps going. I found it strange. but I'm getting used to it. * LED light could be brighter. but i use extra light on my desktop to make it work. All in all this is a great car. It requires the usual number of needle changes (about every 8 hours or so) and preventative maintenance (dust, oil, etc.), nothing fancy or tedious. It comes with a good set of attachments and service tools. I am very happy with this purchase, I recommend!
