The item was good, when I tested it there were small flecks of dust that came off when I turned the hand wheel to adjust the needle and thread. Seller said it was brand new and was just taken out of the box for testing. Dust flecks did not affect the performance of the machine. I’m liking it so far and have used it to make 37 pcs of ear savers, a skirt, and 2 pairs of shorts.
