I bought this machine a year ago after my old singer of over 20 years gave out. I bought this machine based on customer reviews needing a machine that can not only sew apparel well but can also handle heavy interior and upholstrey weight fabrics and thicknesses because I sew for an interior designer. I have to say I have been nothing but dissapointed in this machine. I have had significant trouble with the mechanical workings and have had to have it worked on 3 times already in 1 year. Just today it has quit advancing the fabric and it will have to be worked on again. Also the needle has trouble penetrating through 5-6 layer thick interior weight fabrics and yes I am using the best needles I can buy.I do not recommend this machine and wish I had returned it as soon as I had bought it.

Great machine

I bought this HD as a spare since I already have the CG550. This machine has a higher presser foot lift which is fantastic, needle threader which I'm needing more every day and more stitch choices. It is quieter than my original HD and feeds fabric better. It also has one step buttonholer which my CG550 doesn't. It is very quiet for a heavy duty. I have 8 Singers but my heavy duty machines are the ones I go to first and use them every day.

Not What I Thought

They shouldn't describe this machine as "heavy duty," because it gave me the impression that the entire thing was metal. I wanted something a little more sustainable because plastic always cracks or eventually breaks. The machine itself stitches very well so far, however don't waste your money. My cheaper, older machine was just as good.

Great for the price

I bought this when I saw the word 'Heavy Duty'. So, as soon as I got home I had to check it out. I was amazed how it took really thick layers and sewed with ease. I used thin material and tested it out too. It served my purpose really well, without any sqeek or sqeel. So far so good. Actually so far excellent. I wish singer would come up with a sturdy and convenient to use cover for its machines. Also, I have not found out how to clean this machine (especially when it gets too much lint). I owned a Kenmore for almost 40 years. It is a great machine and I can open up its sides and bottom (no screw drivers needed) to get to the moving parts and clean them occasionally. But this one I can't do it. There is also no indication if I need to oil this machine and where to pour the oil. If anyone can help me with this I appreciate it. I would like to maintain this machine for another 40 years; just like my Kenmore.

Not a fan

I have not been able to get this machine to sew properly since the day I purchased it. It skips stitches, birdnests, and the tension is terrible. I bought this from the Joanns that I work at and I have seen 3 of these machines returned because they were faulty. I do not reccommend this machine at all.

I have finished my sewing project and have been very happy with the ease of using this machine. It is lighter in weight compared to my old machine , and seems to sew fine.

Straight Out of the Box

Straight out of the box it does not work. The feed dog does not work, the material does not move. I tried to adjust the presser foot and the feed dog level, nothing. Brand new machine that does not sew!!! Imagine that, I have a Futura II that my Mom purchased for me in jr high that is still working in great condition, I am so disappointed!

My new machine

The very best feature on this machine is the self- threading feature. It's the greatest. I am having a little trouble getting the bobbin to remain where it is supposed to. I am also looking forward to sewing something on the smaller extension table.
