I wanted to love this machine so bad because of all the extra features. The machine I got was not new, it came with fingerprints and thread jam into it . Unfortunately I got a lemon and now have to send it back.
Bought a Singer because of the reputation Singer has built over the years. Bought the machine December 2022. I am totally disgusted with the red tape involved in obtaining spare parts and repair parts for a brand new machine. This is the second time I have gone through this with this machine. Not sure I want to try to get major repairs for it, that will send me to my grave for sure. This problem was not mentioned when I bought the machine. I definitely should have done more research before purchasing a Singer.
So far I like this machine. I'm still learning about it. I use it to carry to a quilting group that meets each week. I'm 73 but it's light enough for me. I bought the rolling case on Singer and it fits in it perfectly. I'm having a bit of a problem with the bobbin feed, but other than that the machine is working fine.
Great machine. Very strong motor. Most of the machines are plastic and too flimsy. If you are going to buy a new sewing machine, definetly buy a heavy duty one
Fast, quiet, easy and loaded. I use my Quantum Stylist for most projects but needed more power for some of my thicker appliqué art pieces, but I was sad about assuming I’d need to lose some of the sophistication and amenities of the Quantum when using a heavy duty machine. I was thrilled to find the 6800C. It has most of the functionality to which I’m accustomed while adding that extra power and speed. Some stitch functions are even better than the Quantum in side by side comparison (to me- your results may vary). I am absolutely satisfied and happy with my purchase.
My husband bought this for me so I can use for Quilting. I have been sewing since 1976, & quilting for 6 years now. I started quilting on the Singer Patchwork, but wanted more throat space. I piece with my Juki & wanted the Heavy Duty 6800C for the power & decorative stitches for quilting. See photos. I love this! I have had no issues, I believe people just need to read the user manual & check their tension. Thanks for the great features!
A while back, I decided I should stop using my parents machine and purchase one of my own. I got a Singer M2100, and I will not lie- it was absolute garbage. It jammed every few stitches, could barely make it through a single layer of fleece, and the Handwheel didn’t work. So I returned it and got a new one of the same model, but it had the same issues. I returned it and saved up before buying this machine- and I will not lie, it’s a dream come true. The pedal is so easy to use, and this machine glides through whatever I sew with it, whether it be minky, fleece, or faux fur. It was so easy to set up and use, and in the entire time I’ve been using it it has jammed once right out of the box due to it coming threaded poorly. I easily fixed the jam however, and love this machine and am excited to use it in the future.
So far I am really enjoying this machine. I also have the older non-computerized heavy duty machine, and have to say that the 6800c is far superior. The buttons for reversing, tie off, needle up/down and my favorite the thread cutting, really make the sewing experience much better for me. The start/stop button and variable speed control on the machine are genius. This machine is totally worth the money you spend on it.
