Pretty good! Do you have bar tacks on the PALS?

The machine cannot do bartacks so i'm only limited to regular stitches. But i apply multiple stitches so it's alright

Can it zigzag? A tight zig zag helps a lot if so.

robust straight stitch 3-4 times is as good as a bartack. Zigzag is no better. Bartacking is for industrial processes where using a machine that makes the bartack in a few seconds is more economical than "hand"sewing back and forth on an lockstitch machine.

^this. Bartacking is for speed of production which is why they’re standard on mass-market and military items. It’s really overkill for single person shops making gear, 3 lines of stitching (down, up, and back down) is perfectly fine. The idea that a person needs to buy a bartack capable machine isn’t realistic unless they’re fufilling a contract that states an item needs bartacking, or if they want one just for personal preference.
