Replaced my previous Singer (c. 1980). I was wondering how much time it would take to get used to the new machine....hardly any at all. It is quiet, powerful and smooth. I have been sewing face masks so far, and I love it!
I like it!!! Simple to set up and use... Please ensure you watch the instructions/set up video first and not just use the instructions in the box.. video is much clearer. Look forward to using and improving my sewing skills.
My mother always had a Singer when I was growing up. I learned to sew on her pedal type Singer. What great fun! I love this heavy duty machine. I highly recommend it.
Like a lot of folks, I've been making masks. My old Singer (really old) is getting some work done under the hood, so I borrowed a (brand shall not be named) sewing machine from a friend. It could not handle multi layers, so I decided that I wanted a beginner machine that I could pass on to a niece or nephew and teach then how to sew, I also needed a machine I could depend on to help the organizations I had promised masks to. This Singer was perfect. Enough to handle multiple layers and get the job done quickly.
I've had other machines but there's really nothing like a Singer. I learned to sew on an old treadle machine. So glad I invested in this model. I love it. Easy to use and does a wonderful job.
