Start exploring the creative possibilities of sewing with this exceptionally easy to use, full size sewing machine. Select from 17 built-in sewing stitches, including a blind hem stitch, four-step auto-size buttonhole, zigzag and couching stitches. Selecting a stitch is as easy as turning the dial, and the included instructional CD takes you through how to set up and use your machine. Included are 4 quick-change sewing feet, with a zigzag, zipper, buttonhole and button sewing foot. The upper thread tension control dial allows you to adjust the thread tension to suit your fabric and project, so you can avoid too loose or too tight or puckered stitches. Lightweight, portable and compact, the LX3817 is great for taking to classes, and is easy to store at home with the included protective soft machine dust cover.
