Good but.... light extremely dim

Good machine. I learned to sew on my mother's 1965 Elna. It basically did what this one does, except the Elna had a metal case, and a light that was good. The LED light on the Singer is a HUGUE step backwards. It may as well be off. You need another light in the room to be able to use the machine. Otherwise, it seems to do all I ask of it. Runs relatively smoothly, controls work as they are supposed to....
I would recommend this to a friend!

This machine is living up to its "HEAVY DUTY" name!!! I made this review for 4 stars as I find the bobbin winding process strange and a challenge to do (this is not my first machine, my first machine was my mom's featherweight singer, but I also have a babylock and a Janome basic machines). Also the threading of the machine is odd & cumbersome and makes a mess of your sewing if off at all. The last step before threading the needle is cumbersome and challending to do.
But once it's setup it flies through my denim jacket!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family owns two of theses. They are deeply reliable and have all the functions a average sewer could want
Was totally excited about the automatic thread option, but the least little thing causes it not to work. Being sold as a “ heavy duty machine” I feel that I should be able to sew over a flat felled seam with ease. But for some reason this thing keeps getting stuck mid stitch. Totally frustrated and over this machine! Guess I’m going back to my old stand by and using the walking foot! Thanks for nothing Singer.

I used it only a handful of times before the cuff holding the presser rod in place just snapped and now the machine is completely unusable. I took it to a local repair shop and they said it is likely beyond repair. Really disappointing.

This machine is not a year old yet. I haven't sewn a lot on it. I have not been able to fix a major problem I am having with it. I haven't been able to get help with finding out what is wrong. The problem is that the thread keeps breaking.around the needle area or the arm thingy that g oes up and down. It does not appear to get stuck. I have changed needles too. I am hoping to get a live person to advise me what to do!.

Can’t get singer to issue a return for a second machine sent to me instead of to a gift address. Three attempts and still no return label or instructions.

Husband bought this for my birthday last year. i have used it a handful of times to repair a few things to get comfortable with it. Now the feed dogs aren’t working right, it’s jamming, bird nests every single time. I have rethreaded , checked bobbin,needle the whole 9. Singer only gives a measly 90 days and directed me to repairs 3-4 hours away. Practically brand new machine is going to get booted to the garbage. No one around me services sewing machines, and now we’re out money. Heavy duty my rear end. Thanks for nothing singer. I’ll never own another one!
