This sewing machine is great for sewing large amounts, is fast but you can shower down stitches are great and nice the only thing I have to complain is the lifter is s not high enough to go through thick material I being testing out waterproof canvas and handles very well but I do have problems going through multiple layers overall I like the machine for what I need it for, I will recommend to people that works with medium weight fabric it has a little bit of a curve learning the settings but not to complicated if you have experience sewing .
