It gets very high marks for a low end machine.
I used to be a perfectionist about sewing.
It took all the fun out of it.
I’m lousy with garment construction but I can make curtains and halfway decent quilts. That’s enough to make me happy.
I worked up to my perfectionism over many years. I made almost all of my own clothes, put professional touches on them, like piping for example. When my girls were little, I made adorable dresses for them. I shouldn't say everything was perfect because it wasn't. But when I wanted it just so, it was.
I never could style my own from scratch, but I would combine patterns, alter them, tear apart something I liked and use that as a pattern.
My last jumper that has holes in it, I need to tear it apart so I can make a few more when I find a machine. I threw all my patterns away when I wanted to clear out some of the mess. I kind of regret it but oh well.
Keep making quilts. People love them. So do I. My pretty one turns out was made in China. I folded it up because if they get everyday use, sometimes they start to come apart in not too long and you have to repair them by hand. It was the thread that rots over time. Machine sewn ones are probably a little more durable though if the thread was decent quality.
I worked and still managed to sew. I liked to do it in the summer with the windows open and fresh air coming in through the screens in my little breakfast room, then do my hand work outside in a lawn chair in the shade. It was relaxing for me.
