I bought this machine as a present for my wife. She was thrilled with the machine and surprised with its features. She can now sew on jeans and heavy materials!
I bought this to replace the 45 year old Husqvarna Viking I learned to sew on as a child - a very basic, sensible, no-frills workhorse. I was looking for something similar, something that would allow me to sew just about anything, but didn't have a lot of frills, and didn't cost a fortune. This machine has been great! I have been making guinea pig fleece bedding pieces, using up to 4 layers of fleece at a time, and it has sewn with absolutely no problems. I really like the see-through bobbin area - it makes it so much easier to gauge the amount left and to stop without running out! I haven't quite mastered the automatic needle threader, but I've only had the machine a week, so I'm sure I'll get it figured out. Very happy with my purchase!
This machine is a pleasure to sew on. It is much better than the one I replaced (another Singer). One thing that could be improved upon is that the last thread guide (when threading the machine) is not located conveniently for quick threading.
While this machine isn't from the 1950s, it works like it is. Super heavy duty. I have taught my granddaughter to use this machine and she expects to inherit it when I finally give it up. I've used many many machines and almost all were Singers. I would strongly recommend this machine, unfortunately it's not available in our town anymore.
I have put this product through the rest by making a quilt. I did not want to let this just sit around. It lives up to its description this far. As I am still making blocks (4 left to do). But right now I am enjoying this machine.
