Which is best? Will it sew thick fabric?

Review by Stef

I purchased this machine a year ago. Build quality is good, it performs all the basic stitches I need, no electronics. I am about to purchase another as a gift so would highly recommend.

This is a really good value for money sewing machine came with excellent customer service. I wanted a sewing machine that could tackle all my everyday sewing tasks and also be able to embroider and be able to do 1 step button holes easily. So far I have not been disappointed. So far it has coped really well with everything that I have wanted to do. The first sewing job that I tackled was to shorten a dress made out of extremely stretchy synthetic material with a lace overlay and the machine managed this job like a dream and I had no problems whatsoever. Granted I have not used all of the features yet, but what I have used I have been happy with. I have also used the blind hemming feature, again on stretchy synthetic fabric and the machine coped with it like a dream. My machine was delivered free of charge and exactly as I was promised it would. Just brilliant and I'm really happy. Thank you.

I did a lot of research before buying my new sewing machine and I finally settled on the Silver 197 model. The machine is very easy to use, I threaded it and off I went. One of the features I really appreciate is that you can limit the sewing speed. The on/off button is also practical as is the up/down needle button. The machine comes with a lot of accessories and a walking foot is included, which, along with the large sewing bed are perfect for quilting or other big projects. The only negative point I found is that the plastic body seems of lesser quality than what I would have expected in a machine of that price. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and I am looking forward to many years of sewing.

I have had it just over a week, simple changeover from sewing to embroidery, Software controls make every step a doddle.

I upgraded to this machine after 2 years of using a basic model, and I cannot believe the difference it has made to my sewing. No more problems with tension and broken thread, it is quiet, doesn't bounce around the table and even cuts thread at the touch of a button. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of buying a sewing machine. It was simple to order and arrived by courier the day after ordering. Excellent service,

I have bought this sewing machine as a Christmas present so have only spent a short time testing it. It appears to be great value for the money. Ordered online Sunday evening, received it lunch time Tuesday.

Review by Ayako

I purchased this machine. I really wanted to purchase PFAFF Expression 150 and searched a lot, and finally found Sewing Machine Sales. UK. which can ship worldwide. It was delivered in less than a week in excellent condition. Customer Service is so helpful and kind, and their responses to e-mail inquiries are always fast. As to this machine, I have used it only for a shot time. I tried many of 200 stitches but t have not done even half, yet. Straight stitches are so beautiful and I am impressed with IDT (Pfaff exclusive!). I felt like I sew like a Pro. Expression 150's sewing table is so spacious and the machine is easy to operate, however, Pfaff instruction manual is very brief and doesn't explain well, so I recommend you to watch Youtube for threading and bobbin winding. For those of you, who are thinking to purchase Expression 150, I would like to let you know the followings: Expression 150 doesn't have programming function and memory function As to decorative stitches, 3.0 and 4.0 have tapering function which taper the size of the pattern at the beginning and at the end, or pattern can be sewn from different angles. It can be programmed and can be saved in memory area. 150 doesn't have these functions. So If you are a person who wants memory/programming function, 150 is not the one. This one doesn't have built-in alphabets (which I thought I didn't need, but it must be fun if you have it). I guess 150 is close to Expression 2.0 with more decorative stitches without alphabets. Also you can have 5 extra foot as anniversary gift. Basic sewing functions are same as 2.0 and 3.0. Overall, I really like this machine, and Sewing Machine Sales is an excellent and reliable store which I highly recommend! Thank you.
