Frustrating!

The machine initially seemed fine. Left it up for awhile, just didn't have time to sow. Took it back down. Was just doing straight stitches. Had to press hard down on the foot a couple of times to get it working, the reverse button didn't always work either. Then issues with the thread tension started. I've read the manual, adjusted thread and bobbin tension but still its not stitching properly. A complete waste of money. Always had a singer machine ever since I was a child and learned on my mother's. But this experience has tarnished the Brand for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my second review - I realized I have the machine for 9 years, not 6, and after being stopped for almost 2 years, I needed to use it again - a maintenance and it was again ready to go, as good as new. I’m 2 years more experienced now than the last time I used it and my perception of this machine has changed for better. I do recommend being extra careful when threading, holding the upper thread and tensioning it while threading the machine. Main thing, everything is easy with this machine as long as you don’t ask her to be extra fast or sew through heavy layers
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for the 5-stars! Your satisfaction is what we strive for. Your feedback is very important to us. We really appreciate your input.
I have not had a great experience since I purchased it. The machine is constantly breaking needles. It does not do well with thickness. Thread is getting stuck at the top of the machine off of the thread spool. I wish I had not purchased this machine.

I have brought this machine 1 month back, I feel that this machine is not worth for money, There are few problems like Errors are getting often and even the stitch is not properly falling sometimes, I feel like I wasted my money. I would have purchased a small ordinary sewing machine if I had known this before.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this recently and I'm impressed! I learned sewing in the eighties on my mothers vintage green Husqvarna, mostly repairing jeans, but this is much more fun and easy with all the preset stiches. Instruction manual great.

We're thrilled that you transitioned over to your new SINGER so quickly. It's great to hear that you're having so much fun with it already. Should you have any questions, just let us know. Take care and happy sewing.
For the price it's a great machine! Obviously, it's not industrial but it has handled a range of projects with different weights of fabric and I've had no problems.
I can't figure out the auto-threader. I spend more time trying to un jam it. Thread is always bunching Or breaking. Bobbin never loads evenly. It is so bumpy when sewing. If you were to compare it to cars I'd call it an old beat up pinto. Very disappointing.
I really liked it at the beginning, thought it was a good value. About half year after I bought it, the machine started to have a squeaky noise, not all the time, so when I sent it to get fixed they said there was no noise but after it got sent back and was being used for two days the noise came back. That's still acceptable but now it gets jammed every five minutes and I just can't find the reason. I don't want to give up on the machine but it's annoying at the moment.
