Both work areas offer easy-to-use functions. With 40 stitches for a variety of sewing techniques and four styles of one-step buttonhole, this model also features an automatic thread cutter, foot pressure adjustment, a built-in superior 2 needle threader, drop feed, a drop-in top-loading bobbin, an LED light, a convertible free arm and a synthetic leather soft machine cover for storage.
