User friendly and versatile! Perfect choice for beginner or intermediate!
»
This machine is very user friendly.
I am a beginner and have been using this machine constantly since I got it 5 months ago. I have had no problems. It works well on all the light and medium weight fabrics I have tried (cotton to canvas to thick denim...and quite a few layers of each). I've even used it to do simple machine quilting.
The automatic threader makes setup super quick.
The manual is clear and helpful.
It takes some time to figure out how to adjust the length of width of the stitches, but it does provide you with a lot of different options.
For the money, I think this is a great machine!!!

Haven't used the machine much yet, but satisfied so far. I have limited sewing skills and ambitions and this machine meets my skill level without too many extra bells and whistles. It is as described in the product listing. The only improvement in the listing I could suggest is a more detailed description of the attachments included. I had to go the manufacturer's site for that and was still not entirely confident that all attachments would be there - they were.

Ok, but needle threader is a problem
»
This is an ok machine, especially for light sewing. However, like several others, the hook for the Auto Needle Threader is missing from mine so that feature does not work. Very disappointed that such a feature that Singer touts as a major item for their product would be missing from some machines. This was one of the reasons I bought this model. Singer will not get my recommendation for this sewing machine.

Good embroidery with some bad features
»
I bought this to replace a Brother machine that failed after 15 years. This machine's embroidery is superior to my old machine. More stitches and the stitches are rendered better. The action is smooth (but it's the noisiest machine I've ever had). I was pleasantly surprised with the construction of the machine, I was expecting cheap construction for such an inexpensive machine.
There are a few bad features. The machine is not very responsive to the presser foot. I'm used to a machine stopping and starting directly with the presser foot. This machine goes a few stitches after the pressure is completely off the foot. And the needle always returns to the up position, so every time you need to turn a corner or do something where the needle must be down, you have to manually crank it a half stitch. The 'reverse' button is in a awkward place and there is a really annoying 'needle threader' that hangs directly to the right of the needle. This can't be removed or moved off to the side, so it just hangs in your way. It would have been a much better design to just include a cheap little threader in the storage box for the people who can't thread a needle by hand.

This is probably a very good item, but I ordered it for my mother who is 77 years old and it was just to complicated for her. Amazon.com was very gracious and took the item back with no hassels. they are great to do business with.
