I received this sewing machine as a birthday gift as I was unsatisfied with the last Singer I purchased. I don't use it a whole lot anymore but when I was younger I sewed all the time making clothes for my children and myself. I must get back into it for the grandchildren. I do believe that more than a 2 hour class would be a nice attraction, I did go to the class and learned some things but would have liked to go to at least another one to learn more about my particular machine.
No product is perfect. The more I use the machine the more I am comfortable with it. I am very happy with the product so far. I had a Singer machine for many years given to me as a graduation gift back in 1972. I always liked the machine and wanted another Singer. I feel I will like this machine as much as the other one. A very basic and easy machine to use and price I can afford.
Pros: Can Withstand Use, Easy To Use, Versatile
Cons: too long hesitation from front stitching to back
I have given each of my granddaughters a Singer Sewing machine. The first two were 12 but this last one was 13 because I was waiting for interest. I felt it was important to pass on life skills that had been passed on to me. These skills helped to pay bills when my children wanted to do something special. I'm hoping my granddaughters will have this skill to also fall back on.
