I really liked my Singer right out of the box, but then I had a problem. My bobbin would not work right, so I took it to my local shop. The repairman found the problem corrected it and I picked up my Singer later that day, it was only a week old so it was covered under the warranty. The hole where the needle goes down into the bobbin area is to small, I was bending or breaking my needles. I made the hole a little larger and have had no more problems. I removed the snaps off 6 racing shirts and replaced them with Velcro, my singer did a great job. I was a little unhappy at first, now that the problems have been repaired, I love my singer it does what I want it to, with no more problems. I think Singer should give each purchaser a class on how to operate there machine before they leave the store with it. Show them and explain to them the basics of how its features work, what to do and what not to do.

I've wanted a heavy duty singer sewing machine since i first laid eyes on the green original heavy duty machines. I was finally able to get a great machine at a price i could afford. I love this machine and sew on it daily. I can't wait to grow with the machine
I sew professionally and needed another basic sewing machine to use on jobs away from my work area. This machine is lightweight and easy to transport. I love that it is not computerized, the built in stitches, the high sewing speed and the extra high pressure foot control. The accessory storage in the front of the free arm is convenient for times when I am away from my shop. The machine is very affordable and easy to use. I would recommend this machine to any serious sewer who wants a good basic sewing machine.
Bobbin jammed need to bring to a repair shop to figure out why and maybe reset timing 60.00 to start very disappointed. Machine was not even used 5 times.The commercial wording is just a sticker put on the machine.
not only does it birds nest under the bobbin and the thread breaks. The time it takes me to sew a straight line is ridiculous(because of all the problems I was told to pull thread tight when threading and to floss on step 5. I could sew faster by hand . Lets talk about all the needles that break maybe I better not this is long enough
Machine is excellent for heavy duty sewing, however, it is difficult to thread even with threader. There is not enough space for your hand between plate and machine to thread. Also, thread had a tendency to break with twin needle. stitching. Poor lighting is also an issue.
