Needed a machine to sew leather. Bought this after a suggestion from my service site of my Phaff creative Icon 2. The Phaff could not sew leather with out jamming. The singer sews it like cotton! The machine is a bit loud, but a powerhouse!!
I bought this machine quite a few yrs back I love but I’ve never had to make a button hole before till recently so I tried and tried then I found out that a wrong button hole foot product was packed in the box when I bought it so now I went all over town trying to buy one and no stores had any not even the stores that carry singer products and sewing machines so I had to order one on line and spend money that I shouldn’t have had to but to get the right button foot I had no choice but I do love my machine very much.
I bought this a month ago . I love it . I love that the buttons are basic only what is necessary and you don’t need a manual to figure out how to use it. .. and that it has the feature to help thread the needle !!( never had this feature in a machine and can’t live without it now . My son is redoing a motor home and I was able to reupholster all the cushions in it ! It was a breeze. It is powerful and never messed up once . Highly recommend this machine and is an excellent price point!! Also like that it is grey as the white ones tend to yellow after years .
Purchased this machine and I have to get it repaired already. Very disappointed. The sewing needle doesn't lock into position, as I am sewing the needle slides to the left creating an uneven unprofessional seam. Now I have to pay for a repair on a brand new machine. Not good!! Very disappointed.

Sews nicely and I like the numbering for the needle threading. It seems as though the bobbins for my previous Singer are not going to work on this model so that is a disappointing waste. I had my other machine for over 20 years so I have a lot of bobbins already wound. Also, would really appreciate the option of a paper manual. In the middle of a project, stopping to find something online is tedious.
