I use this machine for sewing garments and making masks right now. What I love about it is it has the capability to sew through thicker areas without jamming up. I also like the fact that it is not overly computerized like my other machine. Much simpler controls and nice even stitching. Although I am not fond of the needle threader, overall I am very happy with this machine.

We are so grateful for your review and your honest feedback. Thanks for sharing your rating with us. We look forward to serving you again soon.
Purchased to make masks for my family and friends. I had to find tutorials from users on YouTube, they showed how to start and set up. Singer should have the same. Also small things like how to change needle. Love the machine itself, perfect for a beginner like me!

I have had NO problems with this machine. I bought it to do heavy multiple layer fabrics including dog collars (fabric and web with ribbon or fabric). These can get pretty thick and so far it has not had any problems with the multiple layers. I am happy with this machine.
Right now I am sewing masks for my fellow workers. My old machine was going on 50 years old and it just would not go through multiple layers of clothing. This machine glides through. I made a mask for my husband that was made from tough outdoor fabric and the machine had no trouble with it.

Great machine, except for one thing

I love this machine and I use it constantly. I have run into one problem. The machine advertises that you can sew fast with it, but if I do, the upper tension messes up and I have to pick out the stitches, rethread the machine and start over. As long as I remember not to sew too fast, there are no problems. It really is heavy duty, and for the price, it's an excellent choice.
I was desperate for a machine, but read such bad reviews, I took the chance, and they came thru more than I could ever have imagined! I love this machine, it's the best I have ever had in 50yrs of sewing! I can't thank you enough

I just recently purchased this machine and absolutely could not be more pleased. It is easy to use, strong, and its stitches beautifully. Even though it is heavier, I think this machine will be the new featherweight as far as quilters are concerned.
I waited a good while for this to come back in stock and boy am I glad that I did. I have never sewn on a machine before in my life. This is my first machine and first experience. I was up and sewing withing hours. This machine is so easy and when paired with the app it's like a little private class in itself. The rave reviews on all the youtube videos are completely justified.
