a decorative-stitch upgrade to the A65
8.2/10 provisional Provisional
The A150 adds far more stitches, 10 buttonhole styles and four lettering styles to the A65 formula, with automatic thread trimming. Researched from retailer and maker listings; we have not tested it, and the score is provisional.
Pick it if
you want decorative stitches and simple lettering without buying an embroidery machine.
Skip it if
you only need utility stitches (the A65 is cheaper).
