It is a free arm pluss and is very built-in with many features. So easy to sew on and use. It is simple to figure out how to do what you wish to do. I comes with two complete manuals on CD disc plus needles and bobbins.

Open the end door to set the presser foot down preasure. Much of simple threading is done behind the face plate. This keeps these important systems clean. Note large thread spool under the arm in stored position.

This is a first for me - a drop in 15 class (the largest size) bobbin. Withe a window to watch it for fullness. You can replace it with a full one before it runs out while sewing.
