I can not believe how well my sewing machine is able to sew. I just got my Brother Project runway Sewing machine a couple of months ago. I got it after looking for the best sewing machine for beginners. It was a great way to find a sewing machine. It listed the features and specs and then gave reviews from actual customers not some sales rep or brochure propaganda. It sews like a dream and even does some things automatically. I always had trouble trying to thread the needle and now I do not have to worry about that anymore because my new machine can do that for me. It saves me a lot in frustration and aggravation because I could never see that darn hole very well in order to get that thread through it. My grandma says she wishes they had that when she was learning how to sew.
