I. I. I could not get the screen to work so I could not select a stitch. Disappointed and it was returned today.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this for a young friend learning to so. She was delighted. Great value for a machine with decorative stitches and extention table.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A real good machine, it goes through many layers of fabric with ease. I am a quilter and it has had a lot of time spent on it in the short time I have had it and am pleased with my purchase. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the 5 stars and for taking the time to write your review. We greatly appreciate you for sharing your experience with other shoppers.
I do make quilts and do piecing but had some other projects when the machine came. (I had to watch and rewatch videos to learn this machine.) Pillowcases and some garments have seams that need to be overcast or otherwise finished. This machine will NOT do even a simple edge zigzag nor any of the all in one seam stitches. The only two zigzag feet with the machine don't seem to have a full bottom plate for even pressure in that right hand cut edge of seam. Adjusting upper thread tension is no aid, the stitches glom up toward the left side, making a jelly roll kind of thing as I stitch. I believe I'm missing a proper presser foot.

You can't sew more than 2 layers of fabric. You can't sew where seams meet. The feed dogs will chew it up and not allow it move forward. It also will NOT allow free quilting. There is no button to lower the feed dogs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

DON'T buy this machine!

Verified Purchase:No
I have been sewing for over 50 years. I bought this machine as it is lightweight and portable to to carry to my sewing group. I have had it for less than a year and it just "stopped" sewing with a code of C4 - I took the bobbin case apart as instructed and it still did not work. I called Singer and they wanted me to take it to a repair place hours away. It would cost me more in the end than what I paid for the machine. How sad that a machine lasts less than a year. Well it taught me a lesson - stay away from Singer.

Connie, sorry you are having issues with your machine. We do have 2 warranty centers in NY state. Under the terms of the manufacturer warranty Singer will cover the parts and labor to have the machine serviced. All warranty repairs require a copy of the purchase receipt. If you need to ship the machine to Oneida this would be your only out of pocket expense. Singer will cover the return shipping and the cost of the actual repair.
