Customer Review

Solid and smooth
by Customer A2D3BC0VFNLQB8 at December 28th, 2006
I wanted a machine that could handle thick upholstery fabric, and the Euro-Pro proved itself without me having to even use it! When I pulled the unit out of its box, I found that as part of the quality assurance process, a tester at Euro-Pro had sewed some fabric and had left it in the machine to prove that it worked OK. They had sewn various stitches through four layers of thin cotton shirt fabric. Then, they had sewn eight(!) layers of denim on top of the four layers of shirt fabric. Easily a quarter-inch of fabric in total. I was impressed before even plugging it in.

I just spent a couple of hours putting the machine through its paces, and it's solid, smooth, and quiet. No adjustments necessary so far. It comes with a whole bunch of different feet for doing zippers, buttons, quilting, piping, etc. I'm particularly impressed with the base plate under the foot: it has finely-machined ruler marks for hems, not cheap stamped metal. The fabric feed tracks nice and straight in both forward and reverse.

Minor complaint is the instruction guide. You know that any instruction guide written in 3 languages can't be all that great. If you're new to sewing like me, you'll want to get one of the many good sewing books out there to walk you through the basics.

I'm not a pro tailor, but bottom line, I'd confidently recommend the Euro-Pro to anyone who asks.
