I still wholeheartedly recommend it to beginners, it’s simply that my needs outgrew its capacity quite quickly. However, I started to feel like it was holding me back from making certain garments like jeans, jackets and silky shirts etc, because despite being quite powerful and sturdy for its price range, it had a hard time sewing though more than 4-5 layers of denim, and it never worked smoothy with topstitching thread. It has metal insides and it’s quite heavy for its small size (at around 6.5 kilos), which enabled me to make lots of things involving multiple layers of thick fabric. My first sewing machine was a Singer Promise 1412, a mechanical model with the basic functions you would expect from a beginner level machine. I think it’s important to talk first a bit about where I’m coming from and what my expectations were when I got this machine to establish proper context.
