However, this machine is only able to stitch only a straight stitch. This isn't a problem for those seeking this type of machine. However, If you are looking for a variety of stitch choices, this isn't the best machine. Many people think that the needle threader built into the device is somewhat difficult to work with. It is functional, however the reports say that it requires some time to get used to and that users wish it was more user-friendly. You can't drop the feed dogs of this sewing machine, however we haven't heard a lot of complaints regarding this. Feed dogs are covered in order to allow free motion quilting, so if know this upfront, then you're satisfied with the situation. It is also a hefty machine, weighing more than 30 pounds. This contributes to its "industrial-like" look, however people seeking a machine for sewing classes or to other gatherings will most likely consider the 1600P an unsuitable selection.
