Customer Reviews for Singer - 6800C Heavy Duty Sewing Machine

I was attracted to the 6800c because of its advanced features. I’ll never use 98% of the programmed stitches. However, I love the programmable needle up/down feature. Also the automated thread cutter and stitch knot. Makes securing the beginning and ending of a stitch line so easy. The motor is powerful and pressed through leather and heavy material.

Great product for small home projects

Years ago I used my grandma's ancient sewing machine and I've been looking to buy an automatic one for myself for quite some time. I decided to go with Singer HD 6800 after watching online reviews and the manufacturer presentation.
My first observations: ready to go out of the box, easy to use, easy to pick stitches and to change (the menu is intuitive, large display). Very helpful and easy to access features: thread cutting, automatic threading, guide for thread.
Easiness to operate brings great sewing experience!
It takes some practice to pick the best stitch lenght/wight according to fabric, but it's only natural if you are not a pro or have specific personal preferences. (I used old t-shirts for inside of the mask and it was a bit stretchy).
Very happy with the machine and already thinking of my next project!

I just got this yesterday and so far so good, there are a lot of features such as the program button, automatic sewing and cutting and knoting and speed control too. A bit pricy but a great investment for those who sew a lot and also the room and space it has, is a plus. It does sew through the layers smoothly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Why i selected this: foremost that it will sew thick layers of denim (have not tried it yet but it was advertised as that).
I was still contemplating the other HD models but finally chose this and i'm very happy about it because it especially had both the tie off, cut off, and needle up/down buttons. The other two things i really liked (below):
-- this model had a bigger screen but wasn't sure how it appeared when it was on (was screen dark like it seems on videos? it was fine. Other models have small narrow screens).

-- the difference between this and my older Singer model M9217 bought in 1999 :
after inserting the wound bobbin, HD is so much easier that i don't have to pull up the bobbin thread and then pull bobbin & spool threads back behind the presser foot; all i do is start sewing after the bobbin is put in correctly -- that was definitely a big plus and i love it!

Some things i'm not pleased about:
-- the presser foot lever/handle that you move sideways and not backward;/forward and takes getting used to; lever/handle is plastic, not metal and can break if not careful;);
-- prefer the manual threader (don't really need the auto threader but i think it will save sewing time).

The machine works great. The problem is it does not sew well with upholstery thread. I broke about 15 needles until I figured this out. The other thing I don’t like is the lever that raises and lowers the pressure foot. It is plastic and feels cheap. I wish it was metal like my old machine. Other then that it sews beautifully. I would recommend it to friend. For the cost it is a great buy.
