Shark 80-Stitch Sewing Machine with Bonus Quilting Table - 7133

Unfortunatly I had to replace my sewing machine, but found a wonderful economical sewing machine. My other sewing machine was a pretty good name, but got it at a garage sale and it lasted quite a while. As soon as I opened this new machine up and tryed it, I was amazed at how smooth, quiet, and easy this was to use. It comes with all the feet that you'll ever need in addition to the quilting table.

Threading was easy after the first few tries and I find I actually prefer the normal manual threading rather than the automatic threading. After doing some research I realized that many machines, even more expensive ones, do not offer adjustable presser foot pressure; it usually says it's pre-set. On this machine you can adjust the foot pressure, although that too came perfectly adjusted.
I wish there was a way to sew at different speeds more easily. I am still too new to have a good feel for controlling the speed and I either go too slowly or too fast, but I guess this is a function of...Read more
