The set up was very simple, follow the directions. The heating adjuster is versatile, we have had great success using it in all different types of fabrics (i.e. cotton, mesh, nylon, canvas) and the machine simply needs a few minutes to reset itself in between fabrics. Otherwise it maintains its heat very well. Decent quality for the listed amount, certainly can’t do it all but if you need something for small batch shirts or sweater’s this is a great product.
