Heavy Duty Sewing Machine
Product Details
Web ID: 1520932Not My Great-grandmother' Singer
I learned to sew on my great-grandmother's treadle Singer. I purchased this Singer to replace my 1970s metal Kenmore that I regret having given away. I was looking for a basic machine and this is basic, but it very light weight metal and flimsy and it did not stitch smoothly (not talking about tension) -- it was kind of jerky when producing the stitches. Don't know if a more expensive machine will give me what I'm looking for, but I will not buy online again -- there is nothing like trying a machine out in person before purchasing. Singer was wonderful about allowing me to return my machine and gave me a quick refund.

Need help
I purchased this machine online and am very disappointed with the lack of instructions. This is my first Heavy Duty machine and I’m struggling to learn to operate it. My needle seems to be stuck I. The left position even though the knob shows it should be in the center. I’m looking for a detailed manual that will explain how to operate some of the features. The Singer I have been using is a very old machine that belonged to my Grandmother and only straight stitches.

Perfection in Simplicity
I have been sewing for many, many years and already have two machines, not counting the 2 antique machines I inherited. I purchased this Singer because my dressmaking machine couldn't handle heavy or bulky fabrics. I wasn't expecting much, but it is perfect and has become my most used machine. The stitch quality is beautiful, and it handles all types of fabric. The straighforward design and features are a plus in my mind. I can make a lot of complicated things with this simple machine.

A good product for the price.
I bought it several years ago and think the stitch quality is good.

Needle position
My needle position does not work. It is in left position. Dial will not move needle. I can move it by hand but will not hold.

Disappointed in some basics
I've upgraded from my Singer Start. While the machine as a whole is sturdy, the lack of design forethought is astounding. The bobbin casing design seems a step backward from the Start. I find it more fiddly and less "heavy duty." Also the presser foot holder...why can't it stay up on its own when I'm trying to push heavy fabrics under the foot. How many hands do I have?

Very satisfied!!!
This was my second heavy duty sewing machine I bought. The first one was many years ago and it was getting weak and making lots of noise. I am sewing very much for gifts and patchwork. I know I got my miles out of that machine. Happy to have a new one. I'm from Germany and bought my first Singer machine over 50 years ago; great products, was not as happy with other brand machines.

Love Singers!
I have yet to use my new sewing machine but I have used Singer sewing machines all my life. I am giving a five star rating based on my past history with Singer and all the excellent singer sewing machines I’ve had over the years!
