It gets used everyday by different people and has gave zero problems. If it last as long as $1000 machine I don’t. But certainly worth the money. I have 3 all doing good
So, reading the reviews I doubted buying this because we needed it for small portable industrial sewing fixing (inflatables), first round was trying, but once I got the hang of it I’ve done more three smaller fixings on our commercial inflatables!
I needed to re-stitch a mattress cover after cutting the mattress to custom fit a different shape. This thing is strong, durable and easy to use. Definitely able to handle strong thread from versatile positioning. Buy it.
