I just received the no-name machine in the mail yesterday and I was up until 3am altering 3 items from my closet. I'm 56 and I've only sewn 1 other time back in 1994.
You posted 4 days ago, in case you still need help finding it, the one I got has the name Arcanthite Machine - I forgot to tell you this on my previous response to your post, but there’s a lot of them for you to choose from under other brand names. Pls don’t blame me if it doesn’t work well for you, I just ordered it myself a few mins ago and I still yet to check its quality when I unbox it next Tuesday. And yes, wish me luck too please.
