I recently purchased this model as a machine to transport to and from my quilting class. The reason I purchased a Singer was because I have been sewing with the same Singer machine for nearly 40 years and it has never failed me. Well let me tell you, my new machine did not have 40 minutes on it before the bobbin jammed and it took me an hour to untangle it. I did not panic but went through the instructions to make sure I was doing everything right. After rethreading, rewinding the bobbin and holding my mouth the right way, the machine did sew again. Since that first attempt, i have not gone back to the machine once that it did not jam and I had to rethread, rewind the bobbin and hold my breath to sew for a bit. This is most frustrating. I would not recommend this machine and have lost my faith in Singer.

This is my second singer heavy duty it is a great bargain for a good sewing machine. I have used my first machine to near death. I sew many layers of up cycled denim from old jeans. I have been so happy with my first singer heavy duty I did not see any need to look any further.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Time Machine - Not Sewing Machne
on December 31, 2020
Posted by: Bob D
from Atlanta, GA
Over the past few years I've spent more time trying to get this to sow than actually getting a stitch to be made. Endless hours of coaxing this terrible machine to sew. It gets me half into a project then the horror begins - it will not sow for any number of reasons. Why does it sow fine for a while and then simple go to ruin while working with the same materials? I thought maybe I should replace the bobbin holder, but guess what? THERE ARE NO PARTS!! Their website seems to have left that out, just some wonderful accessories I do not need.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This machine is just what I needed to mend clothes and sew some clothes and costumes. The variety of stitches and ease of operation has made it a pleasure to sew on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

i would not waste another penny especially on this machine , i own 2 other singer machines and this by far is the worst new machine i ever purchased. my old stylist is by far the best one that i own . but after all the tension problems with this machne even with two diifferent threads one in the bobbin and one one top it has sewing mistakes you have to use the same kinda thread above and below. threads always breaking tension is always needing adjusting . its horrible !!

Lube your new machine - the factory didn't!

Machine seemed somewhat noisy when received. Action was smooth' however. After using the machine a few days my wife said it sounded like it needed lubrication. Upon inspection I found that the gear set that drives the bobbin shuttle had a small glob of grease on the side of one gear' with about 10% of the meshing surface having any grease. The cam that drops the feed dogs had a small spot of grease on the wrong side of the arm with no lobe on the bearing surface. The felt lube wicks were pristine and dry. They never saw a drop of oil. After living the machine it mow runs significantly quieter.

We are so sorry that you aren't happy with the plastic exterior of the Heavy Duty sewing machine. Please know that it is very durable and the inside is an all metal heavy duty frame. You have 30 days from receipt of the machine to submit a return request if you are not completely happy with it (free of charge). We have put it through testing against our high quality standards and hope that you'll be pleased with its performance.

Quality control is lacking, but the machine is ok

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I first used it, there was a plasticy rubbing noise coming from the handwheel area. I I was in a hurry to get started sewing and didn't want to have to wait for a repair or replacement, so I took the plastic housing off and found that the way the plastic housing was molded, it was coming into contact with the plastic gear on the handwheel. I shaved a little bit of the plastic off, put it back together and it has been working fine since. I would give it a better rating based on performance, but the quality control is apparently non-existent. I had to waste 2 hours of my time to get the machine in proper order before I felt comfortable using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
