I researched the best sewing machine that suites my needs.

I like it because it is heavy duty, easy threading (It shows in the machine where to thread it step by step; same with the bobbin) and the easy needle threading. The Singer sewing assistant helps but I prefer a live instruction like the one in You Tube by different sewers instead of just pictures of instructions. But prefer to get the live video instructions on different features and projects from the Singer Company itself. There should be more definite instructions on when to use the lowering feet at the back of the machine on definite kind of fabric (to state on what type of fabric) aside from quilting.
I've owned a Singer for over 45 years this is my 2nd one after straying for a short few year period to a "brother" competitor. I feel like I have come home. This is a workhorse.
I owned a Singer Athena for 44 years. I don't sew more than maybe 4 times a year depending on need and time. Was making face masks for fellow nurses and health professionals when my dog foot broke. I thought it time to buy a new machine. What a difference so smooth, quite! Why did I wait. Now I'm learning to use different features. Can't wait to sew more!
Love the new Machine! Just getting used to a few changes

I love the new machine and all the new stitches. The one being replaced is a Singer Genie from 1976 with 4 stitches (Still operates, but needed some minor repair and parts are obsolete). I love this new machine, but really prefer the reverse switch on the other one. Seems kind of at a bad angle on this one. But I can learn to live with it.
I like it because it is user friendly. I also like that it is NOT computerized like my last machine. This is a great machine for beginners and experienced sewers alike. I even bought one for my daughter.
I am using my new Singer making masks for the people in need during the COVID19 pandemic. I chose this machine due to the fact it was heavy duty and would sew through the material and the elastic also. Best sewing machine I have had !! Easy to purchase and fast delivery. Thanks so much Singer !!
