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.
I bought the Singer HD 6800C sewing machine for myself for Christmas. I wanted to buy this machine during the COVID shut down when my old machine broke but it was sold out. I ended up buying a Ja**me HD machine. It's a good machine for basic items but I needed one that could handle denim and also have a lot of stitches without having to hook up to a computer. This machine does that and more. It's super easy to use, seems to be very well built and the instructions are easy to follow. After having it for a month now, I would recommend. It sews really good and is definitely user friendly. The only thing I would say Singer could improve is to include a user manual. That is not included. It must be downloaded on the computer and printed off. No big deal but come on, included the manual.
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.
I am not disappointed! It is everything it appears to be in the add. Thanks for continuing to produce a reliable product as I remember my mother’s Singer when I was a little girl in 1965.
