Do NOT buy!

This date WORST sewing machine EVER!
It sewed well for about an hour and then the "bird nesting" began. Started over multiple times. Then the bobbin holder popped out. This went on & on. Returned and bought a new one. Nope!
The same thing happened again and again. Checked everything out, made sure I was using the right equipment and tension both times.
Returning the second one since it did the same exact thing. It was not a one time defect,, it is the machine sku! Never will I buy another Singer. They are NOT built with the quality they once were. I bought a different machine from a different company and I have been happily sewing ever since!

Not worth it.

Worst machine I have ever used. The lever arm keeps throwing the thread off which causes nesting. I have emailed singer multiple times about the issues with this machine but they think I don't know how to use it. My Singer simple was so much better than this machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear of the trouble you are having with your machine. It looks like you are using your metal bobbins. You will need the plastic Class 15 bobbin for this machine. That will be the reason for the birdnesting.

I learned to sew on my great-grandmother's treadle Singer. I purchased this Singer to replace my 1970s metal Kenmore that I regret having given away. I was looking for a basic machine and this is basic, but it very light weight metal and flimsy and it did not stitch smoothly (not talking about tension) -- it was kind of jerky when producing the stitches. Don't know if a more expensive machine will give me what I'm looking for, but I will not buy online again -- there is nothing like trying a machine out in person before purchasing. Singer was wonderful about allowing me to return my machine and gave me a quick refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been sewing for many, many years and already have two machines, not counting the 2 antique machines I inherited. I purchased this Singer because my dressmaking machine couldn't handle heavy or bulky fabrics. I wasn't expecting much, but it is perfect and has become my most used machine. The stitch quality is beautiful, and it handles all types of fabric. The straighforward design and features are a plus in my mind. I can make a lot of complicated things with this simple machine.

Needle position

My needle position does not work. It is in left position. Dial will not move needle. I can move it by hand but will not hold.

This was my second heavy duty sewing machine I bought. The first one was many years ago and it was getting weak and making lots of noise. I am sewing very much for gifts and patchwork. I know I got my miles out of that machine. Happy to have a new one.
I'm from Germany and bought my first Singer machine over 50 years ago; great products, was not as happy with other brand machines.
