Customer Reviews for Singer - 3342 Fashion Mate Sewing Machine - White

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 signed my 8 yr old granddaughter up for sewing classes and another girl in the class had this machine and it looked really nice and easy to use, so I bought my granddaughter one and one for myself. Really easy to set up and use. My granddaughter really likes hers and is loving learning to sew. The machine is pretty quiet, threads really easy and is pretty quiet. I would highly recommend this machine.

Great little machine that does most everything

I've had this machine about 3 years. I had just returned to machine sewing after 25 years, and was amazed at how much easier they are to use these days! There was a bit of a learning curve to get the hang of it all again, but this machine is so easy to use, and the Singer videos so helpful, that it didn't take too long to get going. It threads so easily, the bobbin winding is quick and reliable, the bobbin case location is genius. I takes a bit of practice at first, but the auto needle threader makes threading quick and simple for my aging eyes. I've sewn 4 layers of canvas, as well as delicate chiffon and everything in between. Just make sure to use an appropriate needle for your fabric, and this machine can handle it. I've changed out the presser foot numerous times for specialized uses, and it's a snap to do. There are more types of stitches than I will ever use. It's fairly quiet, but it is a mechanical device with moving parts, so it's not silent. I made a lightly cushioned pad to place under it on my wooden sewing table to help absorb some of the vibration. I do the recommended maintenance, which isn't much, and it is simple to do. My only complaint is that the foot pedal can be a little sticky and finicky to control if I don't have my foot positioned in exactly the right way on it, and it has a slick plastic bottom so it slides on a hardwood floor. I have had no problems with it in three years of moderate use. Every time I use it, I'm impressed by the high quality at such a reasonable price. Even if it stopped working tomorrow, it has more than paid for itself.

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.

The Singer 3342 is very user friendly. I have never used a sewing machine before. After studying the manual and following the directions it was easy to thread the machine
I would recommend this to a friend!

The product was malfunctioning and none of the accessories were included. I'm unable to return the item because Singer did not provide the return label I have requested for multiple times.

Love my machine! For a self taught newbie I enjoy how quickly I was able to understand the machine and how I adapted to the different options this machine has. I wanted something a lit bit more than basic and I believe this machine has it. This sewing world is interesting to me and now a little fun for me during these tough times. I read lots of good and bad reviews on this model but I believe the bad reviews come from human error. If you're not paying attention to details or use the wrong thread yeah you will have issues. Much easier to just pay attention to detail and use the machine as instructed. I'm happy to report as I learned what I may be doing wrong over the first couple of days it took me to learn to use it my machine is working great as advertised. I use it for hours on end and have not had any problems. It took me a week to decide on it and so glad I did!

I purchased this machine almost 3 years ago and has had a great experience with it. I have made several jackets, dresses and other handy items, craft projects and it is wonderful everything looks professionally made. It is a basic machine that does quality work. I would recommend the fashion mate 3342 to everyone, especially beginners. Its a gem at an economical price.
