Cheap, terrible machine. So disappointed in Singer. I've owned Singer machines in the past and loved them. This machine skipped stitches constantly. The bobbin balled up. Could not adjust the tension. I threw it away.
I have started taking quilting classes & since we need to bring our own machines I purchased the Fashion Mate. The machine is lightweight has some decorative stitches & accessory feet such as a walking foot was reasonably priced. My only small observation is the needle threader feature I found it difficult to use at first but I have gotten better as time has went on . The other thing to make sure of is that you buy the right bobbins for the machine so that you don't have trouble when working on your project. These are also very reasonably priced .
I bought the Singer Fashion Mate for my 10 year old granddaughter. It lasted just beyond the 90 day warranty when the timing went out. This is a major repair costing more than the machine is worth. It has plastic parts, is difficult to thread, the bobbin tension is difficult to manage and the presser foot is very difficult to change. Overall it is a very poorly designed and made machine. I have a 50 year old singer machine that runs like a charm and is so easy to use and manage. I would never recommend this machine and would give it no stars if that were possible.
