I think Singer was on the verge of collapse during the COVID-19 crisis. No response to email inquiries. Did not answer the phone. Nothing, Then, one day, my Singer appeared.
This Machine came quick! I've named her Maxine. Im a nurse in an ER and my team needed hats and masks. I used to sew but my machine was not up to the task. I bought this one and it's a joy to use. Easy to thread and the different stitches are so fun - settings are Versatile for any kind of fabric. Thank you for the fast delivery!
I'm a beginner sewer and I absolutely love my singer. I watched a video and it was very easy to follow. I'm looking forward to making quilts, little clothes as starter, pillows and anything else my singer will allow me to do.
I bought this as a starter machine. The automatic threader does not operate as it is designed to. I still have to thread the machine. The thread snags at one particular spot, popping your thread mid sewing and the machine jumps up and down if it moves too fast. Don't buy.
My 50 year old White ZigZag machine wouldn't sew knits so I decided I would like a new machine. Except for a problem threading the bobbin, this is so easy to use. Steps are numbered for threading and the needle threader is great. It strains a little going through heavier thicknesses of fabric but that's fine for what I'm using it. I'm very pleased with my new Singer Fashion Mate.
