London Review by Kiks
Overall rating This is my first sewing machine so I can't really compare it to anything. I think that the machine is very good for beginners as it is so easy to handle. Top loading bobbin is good, also speed control option and fast bobbin winder It is lightweight and therefore easily portable. It also displays error codes that can be useful for the beginners like me. There's also a selection of stiches to choose from and I haven't tried the botton bottonhole sewing yet. My one concern is that the machine is a bit plastic.
So far I'm happy with my purchase and i was happy with the delivery service also.
