It carries 190 stitches, five alphabets and ten one-step buttonholes, but the features that change your day are quieter than that: a knee lift so both hands stay on the fabric, a thread cutter on a button, a needle that stops in the needle down position, and a walking foot comes standard in the box rather than on a wish list.
