I hadn't seen in years, then came the pandemic. I got out my old machine and it lasted about 125 masks. With it hard finding parts, I decided to buy new and am.so very glad I did. This machine is so easy as and versatile. The only thing I haven't figured out is the automatic threader. Lol. I'll get it. Thanks Singer!
I am a 1st time sewer. I've wanted to learn since I was a teenager & COVID-19 has given me plenty of time to finally sit down & do so. My Singer Fashion Mate 3342 is an awesome machine since I'm a 1st time user. I've been helping make mask, I've made my own pillow, I'm learning how to make a dress. I mostly am learning so I can make my own Cosplay outfits & fun Nerdy originals that no one else will have.
Machine is perfect. I am learning, but I also have big plans. I love the stitch selections. It makes me feel like I have lots of options. The machine is easy to use and runs beautifully. I am extremely happy with this machine. My mother told me to only buy Singer sewing machines (and her mother taught her the same). I'm glad I listened.
I bought it to make masks. This was so easy to thread and adjust the settings. I would have never thought in my entire life would I ever use a sewing machine. I'm glad I bought this as now I use it to sew my long dresses to short dresses. I have never used a sewing machine but I learned to use it very quickly because it was so easy to use.
I just finished my first mending project with my new machine. The online videos were helpful in getting to know the machine. It works beautifully and I'm very happy with it.
