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.

Have now done several projects using my new Singer machine and am extremely pleased with how easy it is to operate, how through the instructions are that came with it, and the end product when I'm done sewing. Would highly recommend

DON'T buy this machine!

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.

There are many wonderful features to this Singer Patchwork sewing machine. My favorites are the many stitches, automatic threader, and that it comes with a 1/4 foot and a walking foot that are not available. While I think the machine is 5 stars, I'm not that fond of the last thread port before the needle, having to turn the thread to a 45d. angle. I think the needle threader should return up under the machine or, that this last thread port would be on the right side of the threading bar. After using the machine steady for a week I am overall very happy with it. While it is not big enough to quilt my full size quilt, it is great for piecing and the price was very reasonable.

Only works well for a few months
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: Frustrated Sewer
I bought this machine almost a year ago. It worked really well for my first few projects. However stitches started to loop out of the seams and it cannot seem to keep it's tension consistent. I have wasted a ton of thread trying to get the tension to work correctly for each different project, the longer I have the machine the worse it gets. Even if the tension works well for a while, than it starts leaving loops in the stitches.
Also this should not be advertised as a quilting machine. The opening is not big enough for any quilt larger than a baby size quilt.
Don't buy this machine. It would be worth spending more on something that has higher quality.
