Title: Good temporary machine, bad long-term!!
Product review: I am so glad to know I'm not the only one who has wasted hours of frustration with this machine! My mom got it for me on sale 2 or 3 years ago and it was good for a little while. Definitely good with basics but then I started having more and more trouble with the thread randomly breaking off and random wadded up bunches of thread on the backs of my projects. No amount of cleaning, oiling, tension tweaking, re-threading or anything else has helped! It will randomly sew fine and then go crazy again. I can't tell you how many times I've had to stop mid-project because of this sewing machine or had to go to hand-sewing!And I thought I was the one having trouble sewing in straight lines, not the machine! Even though you can get this cheap, it's definitely worth it to save up a little more money and get a machine that will last longer and won't make you want to rip your hair out.
