I'm currently making face masks with my machine. I'm excited to see what all the different stitches look like. And to use feet that I have never used before. I love my Singer Patchwork sewing machine. This machine replaces my Singer heavy duty and my Brother Professional Runway computerized. I wore both of them out. I also bought the Singer Rolling Bag. It has a lot of pockets inside and out and very easy to pull.
Used to make repairs on clothing and facemasks! It's very easy to use and straightforward but also has the bells and whistles for more intensive projects! My current project being a quilt for my brand new nephew, it is making all that detail work super easy! Definitely would recommend for newer sewers who are looking to start small but up their project intensity as they learn! I also really like it for the noise level, I grew up with a 20+ year old Kenmore that ROARED when it was operating so this was a pleasant change! Pros: - clear instructions - easy to use, thread, wind bobbin, set stitches and change settings - comes with lots of accessories! - relatively quiet operation Con: - diagrams of feet in manual don't look like ones I actually got so it took some investigating - I wish the light on the machine had a slightly broader range like 2 inches wider would be perfect. I want to qualify that by saying that if you're not sitting in a darker room, it isn't a problem, but the light in my house is not great.
I recently started quilting and needed a machine with an extension table. I also did not want to break the bank since I'm really just beginning this hobby. This machine is perfect for where I am at right now. The extension table and included hopping presser foot are perfect for free motion quilting. The auto up/down needle position is a new feature for me and it very helpful. I also like the varied speed feature and the ability to see without the foot pedal. I like all the stitch options though I have only tried out a couple. Great machine for the price!
I purchased this machine because I am quilt maker and it has all of the features needed for my projects. So far I love it! It took me a while to understand the needle threader but when I did it is perfect! I am still learning about all the the other features, but it sews like a dream.
I recommend the Patchwork because with its variable speeds it is easy to use, has lots of stitch choices, and is quiet. The manual is well written and is illustrated. I enjoy sewing on my Patchwork.
