I bought my first new sewing machine. I find it easy to use and that makes it fun to sew. I am finding out more and more what my machine can do and I have experimented a little and find it easy to use the attachments. I also found that it can sew through bulky layers and even uneven bulky layers without any problems. A Terrific Machine! I Highly Recommend it to anyone, especially a novice or someone who is looking for a good general use sewing machine.
This machine did not stitch properly and none of the trouble shooting techniques listed in the manual (that I had to download) worked. Extremely disappointed in this machine.
I was making so many face masks that I wore out my old singer. I felt so sad about not being able to take my machine anywhere to be repaired during "covid19 stay at home". It was also very hard to order a new machine, as everywhere they were sold out, so I was very glad for this singer site, after first falling for a scam site. I love the way my new singer sews and sings. I love that it is basic, heavy duty and easy to use, nothing computerized, it's perfect for me. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
I wanted a machine without a bunch of digital features that would inevitably break and I'd be unable to repair. I've used my roommate's brother for several years. It has a million different stitches and fancy features, but when it broke recently (and she can't fix it), I decided it was time to get my own. I wanted a reliable, sturdy machine that I could fix when needed. This thing looks like it's out of the 1960s, but it's perfect. Runs great! I haven't sewn any thicker fabrics yet, but am looking forward to doing so without any issues.
I have only had good experiences with Singer. Bought one of these machines to surprise a friend and then I wanted it too. It replaces the similar model bought 21 years ago! I felt guilty because it still works but after using this one, well it is truly a work horse! Was surprised by the speed, I have a quilting machine that this rivals! And buying direct was the only way I could get one during these difficult times. Will keep making masks on this machine, will also only buy direct from now on!
