Replacing a 64-year-old Singer
on February 15, 2026
Posted by: Singer 600 to 6800C
I bought the Singer HD 6800C sewing machine for my mother's birthday which is replacing her "Touch N Sew 600" (manufactured around 1962). After years of use her Singer 600 started to wind the thread around the bobbin causing a mess and requiring the removal of the bobbin and pulling out the section that was sewed. I picked the 6800C because it defaults to a standard straight stich without teaching my mother the advanced stitching functions or having to use a computer. She quilts all the time and is a member of the local quilting group. Today she told me that she was able to finish the complete top of a basic quilt without stopping to "fight" with the machine. The Singer 6800C makes nice, clean straight stiches in the quilting fabric without complaining or binding. The only complaint so far, it the lack of a user manual. We still have the manual for the Singer 600, and mother and I are older than the internet, so, paper manuals for the Singer 6800C is a desired feature.

I've tried the machine on a number of projects, but when it came down to doing a commission to re upholster 4 chairs, it failed. The material was vinyl and it could handle the seams, but when it came to the top stitching the stitches were inconsistent. The needle would vibrate wildly at the extra layer and catch in loops on yhe bottom, as I tried to remove the knots at the bobbin, it took off on it's own sewing without touching the foot. I'm lucky it didn't sew through my finger. The customer was not pleased with the finish on the tops stitching. I removed it several times & re-sewed it costing lots of extra time. I may not get paid for all that work because of this. Yes, I adjusted the tension & ran a test on scrap vinyl. I was sent home with 2 of the chairs to re-do again. I'm very disappointed with this machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Machine but Foot Control Issues
on October 9, 2025

I really liked this machine! It was easy to use and the automatic thread snip + tie off features were great for me. I’ve only had the machine for a few months when the foot control stopped working. It would work here and there but then stopped. Seems like the socket is loose and messing with the connection. I thought, oh well I’ll just take it in for service under warranty since it’s 4 months old. I was wrong, the warranty is not so hassle free as advertised. You have to find a dealer & jump through hoops to prove purchase. I’m new to sewing and this was very sad for me so now I’m looking for a new machine because most repair shops charge 125+ even for a simple fix and have crazy long repair times. If this would have happened after a few years of owning, u would highly recommend this machine but since it is so new, I fear it’s an indication of machine quality lacking.

I just put this machine through the ultimate test. I made one of my multi layer denim handbags with it. It sewed beautifully. It's a keeper

Serious work force

Had this machine for nearly 9 years. I sew with it daily, from crafts to clothes and quilting. It has handled every challenge like a pro. The only issue had so far is the thread guard on the take up lever, it allows the thread to jump track when stitching at the highest speed .

I waited so long to finally have my dream sewing machine. I love the ease of going from heavy to light fabrics. I’ve seen garments, crafts and all with ease. My only wish is that they t came with manual. Some of us are old school and like paper manuals.
