    I also wanted to find if usha allure can do picot.
    Because it is not mentioned anywhere but the shopkeeper said that it can do.

    Hi Divya, yes all zigzag machines can do pico.so usha Allure can do that too.You can go for any model if you have no problem.For me, the fact that my Usha janome gave me so much trouble put me off Usha Janome forever.I visited the lakdikapul store, checked the operation of all the models I liked, and gave it a really good thought(cost wise, as well as comparing the features.In the end,I chose brother DS 140 as it seemed far superior to all other machines.

    I am using USHA allure for about a year and have no complaints so far. I also tried the stitch magic and fashion stitch at my tailoring class and felt stitch magic is really good. I do PICO with my Allure, though it needs some practice to properly hold the cloth. The CD provided along with the machine explains these stitches. You can refer to that..
