Well made machine. It sews heavy fabric without any problems. The manual available for download is awful in that every other page is another language. A real pain if you try to print it out in English.
Would not sew a single balanced stitch no matter how many times I re-threaded or adjusted tension. Made a distinct crunching/cracking sound and went out of timing and would no longer pick up bobbin thread. All of this right out of the box, brand new.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this for my wife a short time ago,the first time she used it she lowered the feed dogs and when she went to raise it they wouldn't raise, luckily I found a youtube video of how to get the feed dogs to raise,I had to gain access to the bottom feed dog mechanism and manually push the feed dogs to the up position. I was very close to sending this brand new machine back. Apparently this is a common design flaw with these newer machines and in my opinion there is no excuse for this bad design. Time will tell if this will be a problem in the future or if we run into other problems.I wouldn't recommend this machine to anyone at this point. Singer needs to find a good fix for this.

We're sorry to hear that you feel this way about our product. Thank you for taking the time to provide this honest feedback. We truly appreciate it and will pass it back to our design team. We hope to better serve you in the future!
I've upgraded from my Singer Start. While the machine as a whole is sturdy, the lack of design forethought is astounding. The bobbin casing design seems a step backward from the Start. I find it more fiddly and less "heavy duty." Also the presser foot holder...why can't it stay up on its own when I'm trying to push heavy fabrics under the foot. How many hands do I have?
Not working well on thick fabric, machine backward sewing slow.

I purchased this machine online and am very disappointed with the lack of instructions. This is my first Heavy Duty machine and I’m struggling to learn to operate it. My needle seems to be stuck I. The left position even though the knob shows it should be in the center. I’m looking for a detailed manual that will explain how to operate some of the features. The Singer I have been using is a very old machine that belonged to my Grandmother and only straight stitches.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited about this sewing machine. I sew woven wool pillowcases so I needed a sewing machine that could withstand the heavy fabric. The extension table is the best thing ever. I am not sure how I’ve gone this long without having one! Set up was so easy and the instructions were well written and easy to understand. It ran nicely, didn’t give off any weird burnt smells like I’ve read from other users and it withstood the wool and several cotton pieces at once. Also it nicely sews just a strip of cotton fabric too. I don’t use all of the attachments it comes with but glad they are made available. If I had one thing to complain about it would be the cover they provide. But it obviously is just a dust cover and not meant to protect the machine itself. Just means I need to go get a case to put it in for when it’s not in use because this thing is awesome! Definitely want to protect it. Love this sewing machine!
