I've been hand sewing for years, but was always too intimidated by the prospect of a machine to pick one up. I got this machine now that I decided to take the plunge, and it has already been worth every penny. It was super easy to set up, and I was away and sewing comfortably within a few minutes. The speed is something I consider a big pro, as well as the amount and thickness of fabric it can handle. The number of stitches also offers more variety than I need at this level, and I don't see myself outgrowing that any time soon, if ever. An important note is that the manual for this machine exists solely online as a PDF. For me, this is actually a pro, as it allows me to use my phone as a manual when at the machine and search through it with ease. I know others may not feel the same way or may prefer a paper manual, so if you're among that number, I would just remain cognizant of that fact when purchasing. (You could also always just print it out after downloading it, in any case)

great for light & heavy duty sewing. Very easy to use. Manual his easy to use. Outstanding value!
I was making so many face masks that I wore out my old singer. I felt so sad about not being able to take my machine anywhere to be repaired during "covid19 stay at home". It was also very hard to order a new machine, as everywhere they were sold out, so I was very glad for this singer site, after first falling for a scam site. I love the way my new singer sews and sings. I love that it is basic, heavy duty and easy to use, nothing computerized, it's perfect for me. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
I'm a machine neophobe. I've had my old machine since 1977!!! As an avid sewer it was hard for me to admit my old girl needed retirement. I looked for a long time to find, what I believe to be, a light weight multifunctional machine with an excellent button hole tool.I found it in this machine. Great job Singer!
Easy to use. Smooth, quiet while in operation. I am a long time user of Singer sewing machines. My mother was an avid user of sewing machines. I am 82 yrs. old now, so I have been thru several Singers. I have bought my girls singer Sewing machines. Easy to use
Right now making facemask for all my family and surgical hats for my sister that works is ICU. Was a pleasure to make and having the machine run right.
