I should have checked the machine right out of the box so I am partly to blame....I bought this machine in May of 2022 and did not start using it until December 2022 and noticed the needle positioner does not work. I just got of the phone and was told that my machine is under warranty but I have to pay to send the machine to the warranty center. I live in central California and the centers are in southern CA about 800 miles away. I think if it's under warranty they should have to pay to send it to the center. I believe this is a computer defect since everything else seems to be working and this should have been taken care of with an exchange. Very Unhappy!!

I love the machine. However, the third time using it the auto thread cutting motor is stick on. The gears keeping spinning. I also went online to try and register for the warranty and there’s no option for the 6800 C so I’m unable to register it for warranty.

I love the machine easy to use. The only thing i don't like is the release handle for the foot when you do close work it has a tendency to release and mess up everything almost got a needle in my face .

I'm shocked that this machine broke down so quickly considering I didn't use it much as I have another machine. I specifically bought one of the most expensive sewing machines so that it would be of high quality, but only 10 months passed and it broke. When I was sewing tulle, our machine just stopped, made a strange and loud sound and stopped working! I am a designer, I sew wedding dresses and the machine is very important for me! As a result, I can’t return it to the store, I don’t have a guarantee ... the repair costs like a whole machine !!! Seriously ?! I really want to return this machine back and not pay for its repair! In less than a year this machine broke down!(Just as a fact, I have the cheapest sewing machine which is 7 years old, and so it never broke down!)

This sewing machine is awesome! 400+ stitches real computerized system. My last sewing project with it was a breeze. I was able to assemble within minutes. Some packaging literature warns that this machine should be operated under supervision of an “expert” sewer. 👀um, yeah, this thang has Stitch speed knob, thread cutter, toggle needle up or down, stitch memory playback, so much more! The only thing I don’t like is that you have to print your own user manual👀 I can’t figure out the needle threader, it looks like it is attached backwards and the accessories are too basic for such an awesome machine. I highly recommend.

Thank you for the 5-stars and for taking the time to write your review. We really appreciate your input and we will share this with the Product Development team who continually looks for ways to improve.
I started sewing on a Singer Start, and quickly outgrew it. I replaced it with the Singer Heavy Duty and I'm delighted! My sewing is so much faster, better and more fun!

Thank you so much for the 5 stars and for taking the time to write your review of the Singer Heavy Duty model 6800C sewing machine. We greatly appreciate you for sharing your experience with other shoppers.
I bought this a little over a year ago. I loved using it right out of the box. It has all the features I use every day. I make purses and quilts on it. I think it is heavy duty named because it gets extensive use and it also does heavy duty projects, goes right over those heavy seams which is one of my favorite things about it.
