Careful with this one. I got it about a year ago and it was broken right out of the box and customer service SUCKS. I ended up getting something else.

Singer machines are terrible. They have plastic gears, can’t handle anything thick, and are incredibly easy to pull out of time.

You’re better off paying more money for a Husqvarna Viking, Pfaff, or Bernina machine. Those all have metal gears and will last a lot longer.

Experience: My mother owns a quilting store, and I worked there for 13 years. Also, I have my own Viking Platinum 770, it’s over 10 years old and still runs like it’s brand new out of the box.

If you want one of the best bang-for-buck machines, get one of the middle or higher Europro models. You get a lot for your money and all metal gearing. They stay true for years and can sew through heavy jean material and leathers like they were nothing.

Mmmm, and a Husqvarna Viking 770 costs what, $2000 brand new out of the box?

No need for snark. All DJTRIPPY86 said was don’t have high expectations for this item.

Some of us with minimal experience in tasks such as sewing appreciate the honesty.

This one will get you started but you would be better with a Brother from WalMart or Overstock. Brothers are still made by people that do sewing machines. Singer was bought out by a company that knows nothing about sewing machines and have seriously degraded the quality of a Singer. You can also find older, quality Singers at thrift shops for around $10 and up. Just find an outlet and make sure it runs. Then take it home, clean it up, oil it, thread it and check out your new, quality machine! I collect vintage machines this way. I have some awesome pink ones, hand crank ones, treadles, and one beautiful white/turquoise/chrome machine! They run awesomely. You can also take it to a professional to service for less than $100, buy thread, bobbins, oil, and usually fabric to get you going on your new projects. They are super heavy because they are all metal construction. If you want light and computerized, go with a Brother from WM or Overstock. The smaller ones will fit into a large tote bag for portability and lightweight for your ease of use and storage.

While Singers are not what I would suggest for an experienced sewer or for use as a professional machine, they are still really solid for beginners. My Aunt and I have both started out on Singer machines (My aunt about 3 years ago as a return to sewing and me about a year and a half ago while I was just learning).
Granted there is very little quality and some of the hard techniques are difficult to do but a singer is great to start out on if you find someone that can teach you how to take care of it. Although, buying through a place that has a good return and maintenance policy is suggested- but I suggest that for anyone who is buying any sort of machinery.

Timing is off right out of the box. Pulled out my old Kenmore to get the job done.
