Full Specification

Wide variety of features

The Necchi 215A sewing machine is capable of handling so many different tasks thanks to the many features available. The product has a fully adjustable length, automatic bobbin winder, front-loading bobbin case, 22 stitch options with stitch selector, such as variable zig-zag or straight stitching. As well as the type of stitch, users are also able to select the best stitch length and width.

Necchi 215A users no longer have to worry about threading thanks to the numbered thread path which helps you down to the needle. Users can be extra creative with the twin needles option too. Other great features include a forward and reverse sewing, a one-hand tread butter, and a drop feed bobbin facility for embroidery.

Lightweight machine

This sewing machine is incredibly light weight, in fact it weighs a mere 7kg, thats less than four bags of sugar! However, this does come with both pros and cons. As the Necchi 215A is light weight it can be transported easily and with no troubles lifting it, but it also means that it can sometimes move underneath you when sewing, leading to mistakes.

Capable of sewing heavy fabrics

One incredibly useful aspect of the Necchi 215A is the extra high-lift presser foot which increases the height of the foot, allowing the machine to sew thicker and bulkier materials. However, this machine still isnt capable of working with heavy upholstery. Also, the free arm achieved by removing the storage box – can provide easy access to difficult areas.

Advantages

• Easy to read instructions making the Necchi just as user-friendly for beginners as seasoned professionals;
• The Necchi 215A machine comes with a soft dust cover to protect the machine when it is not in use;
• Huge range of features available on this sewing machine, everything required for basic dressmaking including a four-step buttonhole facility, and much more than one would expect from the price.

Disadvantages

• The Necchi machine does not come with any spare needles which can be frustrating for users who are operating their machine out of hours;
• There is no power on/off switch on the Necchi 215A sewing machine making it necessary to unplug the machine at the mains;
• This sewing machine has a very short power cable so unless positioned next to a socket, an extension lead is almost always necessary.
