I sew custom draperies, and some of the design are too delicate for my industrial machine, but this singer heavy duty machine is perfect for those type of project, I also do a lot of crafts that require a smaller but strong machine that this machine is perfect for that also. this was the best investment I have made in a long time.
Pros: Can Withstand Use, Easy To Use, Good Power Output, Mobile, Versatile, very user friendly and light weight
I have been sewing basics for a approximately two years. I am part of a Christian Ministry that donates items to communities needs and this machine has made sewing much easier. It sews straight lines pretty much by itself.
I bought this machine because it has metal parts. I can hem denim jeans, but it also does a fine job with light weight materials. It is not overly complicated. I really love it!
I am an experienced sewer. I have had the same machine (which was expensive high end) for 40 years. It has been a workhorse, I'm used to it and it was an excellent machine. Although still functional, it was just getting worn out. So I bought this one based on the ease of buttonholes. Man have I ever been happy I bought it. This us one versatile workhorse. I am extremely satisfied, and a bit impressed!
