Which is best? Will it sew thick fabric?

Review by Jilly Holland

For the price, this is a really good sewing machine. I bought it to replace a previous Husqvarna sewing machine that sadly gave up the ghost after about 30 years and I must admit that there are a few things I miss such as the needle up/needle down function, automatic bobbin threading and a hard cover. I didn’t realise the cover that comes with this model would be the thickness of a teabag (no exaggeration). There are so many stitches to choose from and the one-step button hole function is fantastic (even if I had to watch a YouTube video to figure it out as the instruction booklet isn’t all that clear). Overall, given the price, this machine is excellent value for money.

I Have a top of the range Husqvarna sewing machine but wanted one that I could take to do craft projects with my granddaughter. This is a good, light, ideal machine. Excellent value for money.

Review by Robert Thornley

This was my first "new" sewing machine, prior I had used second hand machines, one a Singer and one an EGL 12 stitch machine, inherited by one means or another. I only use a sewing machine as a hobby, but enjoy it and find it relaxing. Imagine my excitement when I received my first new machine. I could hardly wait to get it out of the box, on the table and sewing something, I even bought a pattern for a pair of mans shorts, my first ever project. First sight reaction when I got the machine out of its adequate packaging was, the machine looked great. I soon had it connected to the power socket and set up for my first stitches, following the manual. The instructions in the manual were easy, even for me. I was surprised when I started the first stitches as to how quiet the machine was. I quickly went through all the stitches, following the instructions in the manual and found them easy to follow. When the initial excitement was overcome, I started to look at the machine more closely, imagine my utter disappointment when I discovered that the accessory box at the front of the machine did not fit properly, in fact it was totally out of alignment with the body of the machine, it looked awful. As a retired senior design engineer, at one time responsible for the design of consumer electronic machines featuring plastic injection moulded components. The assembled fit of which would be exact and precise, not approximate as in my new sewing machine. After viewing this awful quality control error, every time I looked at the machine, I decided I to take action of some sort, so I spoke to the supplier, in particular the service manager, who informed me that I had purchased a “basic” machine and should expect small defects. I have returned the machine, and ordered one a little more costly, so when it arrives we shall see if the quality is improved on an expensive machine. Husqvarna, pull your socks up and improve your quality control

Excellent service and sewing machine. Great customer service from ordering to being kept informed of delivery date and time. Just going through all the functions on this machine a big step up from my old Janome machine which is still working after 15 plus years. Loving everything so far on the M200 QDC and can't wait to start all the projects I have in mind which I am sure this machine will cope with no problem. Would recommend.

The best sewing machine I have used in a long while. So simple to use and easy to follow instructions. I have given my "all singing all dancing" Brother machine to my daughter as I just didn't need all the dozens of stitches on it. Great basic machine.

Review by Heather Norwood

Tracked my parcel all the way to the door,even changed the delivery to a safe place as had to go out unexpectedly. This machine replaced my Husky Star which I totally wore out with free motion embroidery. I then bought a very expensive basic Bernina just for this job,but being a high shank machine could not use all the feet I had collected.This new machine takes all of them including my flower stitcher and came with a set of Universal feet including a walking foot that I didn't have.The needle threader is awesome,never had one before,and it was easy to set up and runs quietly.Very pleased.

Only had this machine a couple of days but already impressed. The large 11" throat is brilliant for quilting and is so quiet. A welcome addition to my sewing room.

Perfect

Review by Mrs P Rose

I am new to sewing and chose this machine at the recommendation of my sewing friend who has been at it for years. For me there are too many out there to even begin to have a clue as to which I should buy. My friend has been running classes and sewing for years so if this machine is good enough for her then it is good enough for me. Having now used it as a complete novice I am very happy with the ease of use and many differing programs it offers. It is also a good weight and is not too bulky to take to classes.
