- Is the FB1757X good for a beginner?
- Yes. Mechanical dials for stitch, length and width are straightforward, and the 17 stitches cover the basics a beginner needs. There is no screen or menu to learn.
- What is a 4-step buttonhole?
- The machine sews a buttonhole in four stages, each set by the stitch selector. It works, but it takes more passes than a one-step buttonhole on computerized models.
- What can I sew with the free arm?
- With the accessory storage removed, the free arm exposes a narrow cylinder for cuffs, sleeves, trouser hems and small tubes. It is the standard way to handle those areas on a flat-bed machine.
- Does it have a reverse stitch?
- Yes. A reverse button lets you backstitch at the start and end of a seam to lock it.
- How does it compare with a computerized Brother machine?
- You get fewer stitches, a 4-step instead of one-step buttonhole, and no screen or automatic settings. In return the controls are simpler and there is less electronics to fail.
- Does it come with a foot pedal?
- The machine is foot-pedal controlled, as is standard for this class of mechanical machine. Check the box contents for the accessories included.
