Comment:
I find it very easy to use. The sewing machine just takes a little practice. My advice do not read ahead,simple.Frustration will vary by experance.If you have never used a sewing machine, I would start with a singer with not as many feature's.Singer has a wide varity of machines.Start with a machine in the middle. So you may progress.I love my ce-250 machine and rate it as follows. 90 percent. Debbie
