Don't even bother!:

What a waste! When I received it, the timing was already off and just kept getting worse. I called the support line and was immediately transferred to voicemail. I also sent an e-mail. That was several days ago, and I still haven't gotten a response! I'm very disappointed that I had to return it-you don't want to buy a machine just to have to return it. A great price for a good machine, which this is not.

Nice Small Machine:

The S05 Quilt 'n' Craft 28 Stitch works great. It was simple to set it up, and it has performed admirably in the making of many quilts (despite the fact that I rarely ever maintain it and have yet to clean the feeder dogs).

Poorly Designed.:

This machine is horribly designed. In a prior review the customer stated that the machine runs but the needle stays put. The reason for this is a tiny little screw inside the plastic of the handwheel. The screw is responsible for engaging the clutch, but is encased in plastic. The torque cracks the plastic and eventually causes it to stop working. Bad design, I don't suggest purchasing.

Does Not Work:

I was excited when I received the machine, but it just does'nt work!!! The motor runs, but the needle does'nt move up and down. I'm very disappointed that I have to return it.
