The AEG 227 is a lightweight sewing machine that is easy to set up and thread. It's a good machine for anyone who is new to sewing or an occasional user, and is easy to operate. The best thing about this machine is that it creates and maintains even and accurate stitch tension, even through different thicknesses of fabric - great if you're making curtains and mostly using the basic straight and zigzag stitches. The feed teeth grip the fabric well helping to create even lines of stitching. The machine has plenty of decorative stitches too so that you can add creative details to children's clothes. Setting the decorative stitches is easy and the machine responds immediately. There's also a handy buttonhole facility, which is easy enough to use. Overall it's a neat model that I'm happy to recommend.
