Reliable workhorse
I use this daily for altering curtains and upholstery. It hasn't jammed once in three months of heavy use. The foot pedal control is very responsive.

Great machine, slight learning curve
The build quality is solid and feels very durable. It took me a little while to get the tension right on the synthetic fabrics, but once adjusted, it works flawlessly.

Good value for money
For the price, you get a lot of features. The threading diagram could be clearer, but the manual is helpful. It sews through thick canvas like butter.

Best upgrade for my home studio
Upgraded from a basic plastic machine to this Butterfly model. The difference in stability and speed is night and day. Highly recommend for anyone doing serious sewing.

Perfect for heavy denim projects
I bought this to hem jeans and make tote bags. The motor is incredibly powerful and handles multiple layers of denim without skipping a beat. The overlock finish looks professional.
