Lots of accessories and so many stitch and design possibilities. I'm a beginner and this is my second machine, I love that I can switch between thread colors easily. I love that I can use the foot pedal or automatic sew. I love that I can adjust stitch length, width, and tension. The main reason for the 4 instead of 5, is despite them giving you updated accessory foots, they don't update their tutorial videos to demonstrate how to use the new foot. Example is the darning foot and 1/4inch foot. I highly recommend this machine overall, especially if you're not the type that needs visuals with the exact looking tool.
I loved the machine when i first started using it and then something happened and the bobbin case kept popping off track and breaking the needle. I had to return the machine within a week.

We so sorry that you weren't absolutely thrilled with your machine. Thanks for taking the time to leave your rating.
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear this item did not meet your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to post this review.
I just got the machine, but need a manual to get started. Going green is great, but can get in the way of a good experience when it comes to learning a new machine. Instructions included helps with this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fantastic price fantastic product. You can’t go wrong. We purchased the Patchwork singer machine for our daughter. She loves it.she has made a quilt for Holloween.
I love the machine. I have a very old solid Singer Touch & Sew that I have used for years. Wanted a newer machine that could do more decorative stitches & have more modern features. Everything is great as I get to know the new machine. The only problem is the foot pedal DID NOT WORK. Start/stop button works and is cool, but I prefer sewing with the pedal. SINGER is sending me a new pedal.
