I took delivery of the sewing machine 3 days after ordering because I chose to pay for the 2 day shipping and it came on time. The sewing machine is powerful enough to sew through denim which is why I purchased this particular model. My only complaints are, that not all the included items on the image on the box were in the box, and 2 particular quality control items plague this machine, 1- the bobbin does not wind evenly and 2- the foot pedal's plug has to be in a certain position in order to work. Once I found the right position for the plug, I taped the wire for the pedal in place onto the sewing machine. A slight inconvenience, but I won't encounter any downtime.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for letting us know about this. Your feedback helps us get better. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly.
Changed the needle to denim needle and sewing canvas super easy. Fonts are not that great but it’ll do. Easy to thread and good machine.. Manual is not very helpful to me
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased a week ago because of the auto knot and cut the thread, while most of the functions I’ve used so far are good,I’m having issues with the very functions that made me purchase the machine. The auto thread cutter makes a very loud sound, cuts the thread intermittently and the fabric gets hung up in the bobbin compartment, I’m really not happy with what’s happening, I’ve also had issues with the tension…WOW…I have always depended on Singer but I’m not happy😞

Decent machine, very inconsistent.

It is a decent machine especially with all the stitch settings allowing for many different options to be used like the overcast stitch. However, this machine is very inconsistent since the bobbin is plastic and almost every time I sew I have to constantly test the stitches for about 10-20 minutes which is not the case for machines with metal bobbins and adjustable bobbin cases. Also, if you lose the foot pedal, you are done for as singer does not provide any replacements on the sight. I’ve bought the one they offer on the site and it turned out not being compatible with my machine even though they had the same input. Overall, if you’re one who sees a variety of projects, get a different machine. If you do simple things like intricate designs, this machine is good. If you’re a beginner, get a machine with a metal bobbin case, the brand should not matter as those are more effective and consistent in general.
Love the machine. The motor is powerful enough to sew through all the layers of a quilt. The buttonholes are consistent. Stitch length is even. It is intuitive to use. A great value for the price and a joy to use.
