I see that the stitch length/width cannot be adjusted...** A: The machine has 3 straight stitch settings, 6 stitches per inch, 10-11/inch and 18/inch. If I need to baste, I just use the 6 stitches per inch and loosen the tension slightly so I can pull the threads out when I am done. Hope that helps! **Q: How easy is it to control the speed of the machine? Does it go fast by just lightly tapping on the foot controller? I need a machine that can go SLOW!** A: It does not race! Just depress lightly and it will sew perfectly. **Q: what is size of the machine?** A: I bought this machine for my 9-year old granddaughter. The machine is not quite as big as a standard machine. I think it is 3/4 the size. I bought this specific model because many of my quilter friends have one. It's perfect for taking to sewing or quilting classes or retreats as it is lightweight. But it functions great for many uses. It sews quite a few different stitches, has a nice straight stitch. The machine is easy to use also. I would highly recommend this machine. **Q: Does anyone use this machine for quilting? Can you sew through thick layers easily while quilting?** A: most solutions to sewing machines lie in the feet you choose for your project. When quilting I use the walking foot a great deal of the time. Your welcome ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile and easy to use *by on Reviewed in the United States July 14, 2013* Got it for my son. His review:"A novice sewer, I've only ever used one other sewing machine, a Brother, while doing everything else by hand. Forget that! I've had the Jem Gold (omg I love the name) sewing machine for about a month and made a couple of projects and done a few exercises with it. So far, no problems at all.PROS++The light above the needle is super helpful.+Winding bobbins, easy peasy, automatically stops when full.+Little needle threader is also super hepful!+(?)Must say I don't actually understand what is happening when I catch the bobbin thread with my needle thread before sewing, but I do manage to do it every time, so it must be a pretty good design.++The foot lifts up perty darn high, which has come in handy: sewing straps onto a bag after the fact, I thought I had to do it by hand--got frustrated, tired, and bored, thought, "well damn I'll just do this last one on the machine"--and it was not hard at all to fit a layer of satin and two(/three?) layers of burlap--all kind of awkwardly semi-folded--under the foot and needle! I ripped the other three seams out and redid them on the machine!++Pedal is nice, I can go as slow as I want. Or fast as lightnin!CONS--There is nothing that *prevents* you from sewing with the foot raised, as there was on the Brother I used, but there's also nothing that *prevents* you from hitting your head on a low ceiling--you just get used to it.NEUTRALS~~I have not used anything other than the straight stitches yet, so I can't speak to the Janome's zigzag or buttonhole capabilities or anything like that. Yet.Love it, buy it! Accomplished seamstress I got a few tips from also said it was her favorite machine by far, and she didn't know I had one when she said that. So, I trust that as well." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you, Amazon reviewers! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 19, 2012* I was looking for a good, basic sewing machine for doing the odd repair on garments or household items. I didn't foresee doing embroidery or anything complicated. Inexpensive machines that I saw in stores were just plain cheap: lightweight, badly made, with obtuse instruction manuals and flimsy accessories. Similar models online got indifferent or negative reviews.I decided to spend a little bit more than I'd originally planned and see what else was available. Zeroed in on this machine because it had nothing less than a 4-star review. I'm very happy with my purchase! The machine is everything that reviewers said it would be: sturdy, lightweight, a real little workhorse. This was my first experience with a top-loading bobbin, and it's been no trouble at all. Setup was easy and the directions were clear. From the first repair (mending an open seam on a pair of pants), this machine has met my expectations.Time will tell about reliability, but if other reviewers are correct I can expect years of use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great beginner machine *by on Reviewed in the United States May 21, 2013* As a beginner looking for my first machine, I wanted good value for money. I needed a portable machine for my sewing class, but I also wanted something sturdy & reliable that I would be able to use for a long time. After poring over reviews, I decided on the Jem Gold and it turned out to be just what I wanted. It's a 3/4 size machine but it works like a full-size one - in fact, the full-size Singers that I used at those one-day classes at a certain large fabric store chain seem flimsy & cheap in comparison. I'm interested in garment-making & according to my instructor, this should do pretty much everything I need it to do. The fact that there are so many positive reviews on Amazon & elsewhere testifies to the value of the Jem Gold.I was also very impressed by the quick delivery from this seller. Originally, I ordered the same machine from the same large chain I mentioned before and tried to cancel the order almost immediately since they estimated a delivery time of almost 3 weeks. Dealing with them has been a nightmare. Then I turned to Amazon, which is what I should have done in the first place, and my order arrived within a couple of days.
