I received a used and dirty machine. I even found an unknown hair in the machine. Never trusting singer ever again.

Terrible machine

This machine is so terrible, no one is really selling it any more. I have owned my Patchwork for 14 months and I had to take it the warranty shop TWICE for a new motor. I owned the machine for one month when the motor had to be replaced the first time. It took Singer THREE months to replace the motor. Then, in less than one year from the time the first motor was replaced, it now needs a second new motor. I am certainly glad this machine is no longer on the market.

Hesitates when you start out. Foot pedal receptacle being in the front broke internally soon after purchase. Supposed to be for quilting- good luck fitting a quilt in this machine! The free arm quilting attachment has a tiny metal piece that pops out continually making it impossible to use it. DON'T buy this Singer!!!
Sometimes I think this sewing machine was made backward. I don't like where the cord is located in the front on the side. I don't like how the machine hesitates to move. The door on the left side does not open so I have to use a seam ripper to get the thread in between. These are the things I don't like about this sewing machine. Now the machine does sew good, I also like the different designs, but I have to buy all the attachments that did not come with the machine.
I am extremely frustrated with this product. I have been sewing for more than 50years and struggle just to thread the needle. It is not intuitive and every video I have watched has someone’s fingers covering the part where I get stuck. If I could send it back I would.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This machine gets this review because I don't have an operating manual. Thus, I have no way to use my new machine. Not all people who buy machines have internet access. I do, but I have not been able to find a manual online.

I bought this 2 months ago. I did not get a DVD or manual to know how I can use this machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have not been able to use my machine yet because I had to order a manual. It’s so disappointing that you have quit supplying them with a new machine. I found a manual and had to order it. I’m not computer literate enough to be able to use an online copy.
