Wanted something basic to make furniture covers, blue jeans, etc. this machine is perfect balance between function and features. High speed is a big advantage. I recommend this machine to anyone who needs a basic all around machine capable of handling heavy fabrics.
I purchased this machine to make pocketbooks and other heavy material items. First off after a few uses the machine began to act up and breaking needles - Well I soon discovered that the plate was bent down and the needle was hitting the plate and breaking. I got my handy dandy little hammer out and tapped the plate back into the original position. The same thing happened again several times after sewing heavy canvas material. Now that I have only been sewing thinner materials - the thread breaks and gets hung up around the inside of the machine somehow. This is the third Singer I have bought in the last several years but I assure you it will be the last. Both of the other machines have issues as well.
This is my second Singer (my first I bought in 1966) and I'm pleased with it. I made a small quilt as a "test" and it did a good job. The only thing I would like is to be able to select a wider stitch length for basting. My old machine would stitch 6 stitches per inch and that was very handy to have.
