I bought my Singer298SF00 Multipurpose machine for myself as a gift.
It is a simple Zig Zag Sewing Machine which can be used by almost anyone. I have even taught my 6 year old daughter and 9 year old son to sew simple tasks.
It is very easy to thread and sew with it. It has a Button stitch, beading and hemming capability feature, and a special Presser foot for monogramming motifs & appliques
The stitch widths are easily adjustable, and it is small and portable.
