I’ve had this machine now for a couple of months. So far, it’s been great. However, I am making the picnic blanket/tote from your website, and am having issues that I can’t seem to resolve. I was sewing the edges using an over edge stitch, and it was going fine for about 2/3 of the project. Suddenly, the stitches started looping, the bobbin tipped up inside the holder where it got completely tangled, and the thread cutter started working only intermittently. I put in a new bobbin, rethreaded the machine, tried adjusting the tension, and cannot seem to get the stitches to lay flat again. What am I doing wrong? Up until today, I’ve been loving the machine, but can’t figure out how to fix this problem.

Only downside was that it took 2 tries to get one that worked. However, now that I have one I am loving this machine. Easily handles heavy upholstery fabric and other soft costume materials including canvas and heavy denim! Attachments are super useful, bonus walking foot is super nice. Looks like I only have a couple other feet to purchase and I will have everything I need. Slide speed switch and all the new one button automations are amazing (my last machine was a 100 Stitch w/auto button hole heavy duty Kenmore that was 32 years old, so new is realative). I can only hope this machine will last as long!

The 6800C looked like it was the perfect sewing machine for me. Unfortunately looks like the quality control of the 6800c made it so it did not work for me. I needed to return the first machine that was shipped to me due to the top thread getting wrapped around the bobbin in the middle of a stich, also the machine popped circuit on my surge protector a couple times. Custom service at Singer has to be one of best there is to work with. They arranged for a replacement. I received the second machine and was a real joy to work with, that was until I needed to do some button holes. First two came out really nice but after that it only sewed tiny button holes. Worked with a very nice customer service agent but was unable to fix the issue. If there was a service center any ware close to me I see if can be fixed and if I did not need button holes I might keep the machine but after two machines it looks like I need to look for a different sewing machine.
Singers have been in our family for now 4 generations, my Grandma had a treadle machine! This is my new “workhorse”!So far it does everything it claims. Love it!
The auto cutter don’t work. I was sewing with invisible thread and it keep unwinding and get stuck in the bobbin case. I haven’t explored everything yet.
