STURDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this machine a few months ago, it was my first machine and I LOVE it!!!!!!!! I've worked on other machines, they were so flimsy in comparison. I loved it so much, I recommended it to a friend, who was joining my business, she tried to buy the same model but it was sold out everywhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I replaced my nearly 40 year old Singer with this Heavy Duty Machine after reading many, many reviews. I’d been worried about some of the negative reviewers’ concerns but after using this machine regularly for the past month I feel that most of the concerns are probably due to inexperience. Just remember to read your manual, use the right needles and thread, change your needles regularly, adjust your tension as needed and from my experience you’ll find you e got yourself a reliable workhorse. My biggest complaint about this machine is the color. If they wanted to differentiate it from non-heavy duty machines by color, black would have been a better choice. This grey is so ugly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Machine, but needs some design alterations

I bought this machine as my 80 year old pre-WWII was in the shop during Covid. I like this machine over all, but the power pedal is way too light and moves around on the floor unless I put a brick behind it. It also takes some getting used to as it must be pressed in the middle to make it run and it is difficult to regulate the sewing speed. I imagine this will become easier as I sew more on it.
I find that, for me, the light is in the wrong place and does not illuminate to the right of the needle very well. The inch/centimeter markings are in the back of the needle instead of in front of it where it would be more useful for keeping cloth in line. I will be adding markings on the metal plate in front of the bobbin to help line up fabrics .In the US, it would be beneficial to have the inch markings, rather than the centimeter markings, closer to the user. Other than that, it is a good machine and runs well, so far. I like the large variety of easy automatic stitches and the buttonhole option. I look forward to exploring all the available features in the near future.
My previous machine had a 20 year guarantee and has lasted 80+ years doing basic sewing and fancier sewing with its accessories, but this one has only a 90 day guarantee. I hope it lasts much longer than that. My mon's Singer lasted 50 years., but it was all metal.
I would recommend this as a reasonably priced machine for all but the most experienced sewers who may need even more sewing options..

Makes sewing a joy again
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: Deena
from North Carolina
I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to this machine about three months ago and I have been so happy I did. This is a very forgiving machine, easy to operate and maintain. The biggest problems I've run into is upper thread breaking or bunching when I start sewing, but all I have to do is rethread the machine (and I have to mention it doesn't do this with higher quality threads) I haven't changed any of the factory settings because I haven't needed to. I also love all the different presser feet, especially the side cutter attachment. Who needs a serger? I've used this machine for making masks, pajamas, craft items and pillows (and making piping with the zipper foot was a breeze). I even completed my first quilting project using the quilting guide attachment. I would highly recommend this machine for anyone who needs a workhorse that isn't finicky and complicated.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This machine is a work horse!

Bought this machine five months ago ... did some mending, made a ton of masks, and now a quilt. The machine is very fast, snap on feet make it so easy to swap them out, and the walking foot functions as expected (tighten it up every so often or it works loose on the shank). Goes through multiple layers like it's nothing! It is a basic, mechanical style sewing machine, not a lot of bells and whistles, but she goes like a champ ... which is precisely what I wanted..
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a brother machine before this and boy am I impressed with this model. The material feed is smooth like butter. Makes sewing big projects so much easier and faster. Glad I switched.

Great so far.

from Detroit, MI
Great machine so far. I’d advise taking it to a repair shop straight out the box so they can oil it and check if everything’s working (the needle threader didn’t work but they fixed it). I’m a new sewer and jammed my machine the first time using it and had to get it fixed. Like a lot of people, I’d decided to start sewing COVID masks to sell or donate. My biggest issue with the machine is the foot pedal, it’s really fast so you have to apply light pressure when sewing. Overall, I like the machine and I believe it to be a good investment.
I would recommend this to a friend!
