I am very happy with my purchase (HD6800C). I bought this model because it has the stitch speed option and I just love it! I love the price for what I get and can only say one thing I did not like is the color, sorry but wished it came in the new black. Everything else I think is great!
This is my 2nd sewing machine and my 2nd singer sewing machine. I am enjoying it very much. It has a lot of bells and whistles compared to my singer from 30 yrs ago and I'm putting it to the test. I feel this heavy duty machine will more than fill my needs of what I put my older machine through, Mardi Gras costumes, dance recital costumes, etc. Still getting used to it, but love it so far. Wouldn't trust any other brand.
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.
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😞
I was looking for a machine to sew denim with ease. This machine does just that. It also sews through quilt sandwiches with grace and ease. The features are what makes the machine. I really like the drop feed and the tie off feature.
