Title: Okay for First-Timers
Product review: My daughter is 8 and received this for her birthday. It works well and is serving its purpose. It's lightweight and easy enough to thread on top. I have three critiques:1. The bobbin is a little bit tricky for her to master. It's in a metal case at the bottom of the machine...it is much more challenging than my BIG brother machine. She needs help with that part every time.2. The dial to choose the stitch type is difficult to use. It's big and thick and it's hard to tell where it's pointing (there's no little arrow to point at the number so you're sure about what you're choosing).3. My BIGGEST complaint: the machine doesn't move slowly. It's difficult to master the pedal on a sewing machine anyhow...to get the feel of it and learn to maintain a constant speed. This machine doesn't go SLOW. It's WAY too fast, and it's tricky to get it to slow down (even for me, a more experienced sewer).
