Pratt Fashion Design grad loves and still uses this machine!

I have absolutely no complaints when it comes to this machine. I used it to sew my entire senior collection (6 outfits totaling 38 garments) for the annual Pratt Fashion show, and it worked like a dream! I have used this machine for quilting, sewing underwear and swimsuits, patching heavy duty denim jeans, sewing buttonholes, etc. Granted, I've only been using this machine for about 6 months, but I've been using it for at least 3 hours per day and it hasn't caused me any problems yet! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a user friendly upgrade to an old home sewing machine, or as an alternative to old-school expensive table machines. I don't mean to come across as some paid spokesperson or whatever, but seriously- I've lugged this thing back and forth from studio to dorm, broken my fair share of needles, and haven't given the poor machine a rest for 6+ hours at a time... and it's still working like a dream! Well worth the price.

BEST buy

BEST machine I ever have had.So easy to use and so much more. I even bought one for our senior center and teach simple sewing. We all love lesson day. Video has been most helpful.

First sewing machine, but an investment to last for years.

Before reading, please understand that this is my fist sewing machine. So while I do not have a lot to compare it against, I can provide what I've learned through my research that led me to choose this product, as well as my experiences with it so far. After doing a lot of research, I chose THIS sewing machine for some pretty specific reasons: 1. It's pretty heavy, weighing in at 27 pounds. Why is this a benefit? It's sturdy, very sturdy, with a metal frame inside. Everything I've read leads me to believe that the lighter plastic machines simply don't last, while the old-school metal monstrosities keep working forever. I feel that this one has the best of both worlds. It looks sleek and classy, but can still sew through multiple layers of denim or thick fleece with no trouble. 2. The controls are all analog, with no digital programming to malfunction. You just push the buttons to select your stitch and go, and there are sliding levers for stitch width and length. It seemed that the digital models are wonderful, but sometimes they go wrong, and I just wasn't willing to deal with that. 3. It got good reviews. I read all the reviews for a number of different machines I was considering by Brother, Singer, and Janome, literally thousands in total. Considering that I was trying to come up with something that would LAST and be an investment without spending an arm and a leg, this one beat out the others. I also considered % of reviewers who rates it 4 stars or higher vs. 3 stars and under for each machine. They all have some 1-star reviews for some reason or another, but at the time of both my purchase and the writing of this review, this one seems to have less than its share of unhappy buyers compared to other similar machines here on Amazon. Now, I'll share a bit of my actual experiences and observations now that I've been playing with this thing for about a month... Pro's: -Threading is incredibly easy. It does not have the "1, 2, 3..." instructions printed on the machine, but it does have little diagrams with arrows to remind just how the thread should go through each step. The auto-threader to get though the tiny needle hole is VERY easy, and the bottom bobbin is easy to put in right. -The built-in light is bright and well-placed, making it very easy to see your work from all sides. It comes on automatically when you power on the machine. -There is a reverse function to lock your stitches... just push once and it completes a stitch in reverse for you. -The storage compartment is roomy enough for 5 regular spools of thread plus needles and the darning plate and bobbin cover discs and felts. -The stitches are illustrated on the front (as you can see in the product photo), so you can just look for what you want, press the button, and go. -It's really easy to use, and the tension seems to come out right just set on "auto." However, if needed tension adjusts by turning a dial on the top. -Comes with CLEAR and EASY TO READ instructions with good diagrams/drawings to help you figure stuff out if you don't want to deal with the DVD. -Also comes with a DVD tutorial! How cool is that? -The stitches all seem to come out beautifully and effortlessly. It pulls the fabric in at the needed speed, so all you have to do is guide it side to side. There is also a darning plate that easily pops into place for "free form" work if needed. (Like if you wanted to sew in a circle or tight curve... wide curves you can just guide without the darning plate.) -The foot-pedal is easy to operate. You can vary from one slow stitch per second so you can see what it's doing, to wound up going really fast. Apparently some are rather "all or nothing" in their control, but that has not been the case for me with this one. Barefoot or with shoes on my feet, it has been very easy to get used to it, so that now I can get it to the exact speed I wish for effortlessly. My only "con" is that it has a limited number of stitches, and already I have seen a stitch called for that was not available exactly. However, it seems that all of the basics are here, plus several decorative ones. So, overall, 5 stars. The only other thing that I think is worth mentioning is about the thread. From my research, it seems that using quality thread is highly important in helping your machine last a lifetime. Don't buy bargain threads - it's just not worth it. You can evaluate the quality by pulling to test for breakage, and also by looking at the thread under a microscope. Lots of stray fibers will wear away at internal components of your sewing machine over time. The most perfectly smooth thread I've been able to find is "Coat's Cotton" which is 100% Egyptian Cotton, and "Coat's Extra Strong" for denim and jeans, both by Coats & Clark. I would imagine their silk and polyester would be ok too, and they are available at any and every fabric store in the U.S. I hope this helps you in making your decision! There are so many machines out there that it took me forever to decide on this one, but I am 110% delighted with it, and would recommend it to anyone. I was also VERY pleased with Amazon's service in getting it here safely and promptly. It was very well-packaged and arrived as pristine as if I'd carefully brought it home from a local store. Truly, I am a very tough customer, yet couldn't be happier.

Kids love these. Wish they had a slow down setting

Kids love these. Wish they had a slow down setting. Auto thread feature awesome. Kids are 7 years old and love it. Singer 800 no for questions awesome.

Love this Singer computerized machine!!!

I will be retiring in the next month or so and decided that it was time for me to get THE latest high tech sewing machine, that will last me for at least another 15 yrs. Thats if my eyesight permits.. My previous singer was over 30 yrs old. The best feature I just love is the auto needle threader. Thanks for whoever designed it. Its absolutely fantastic. Sure, the thing doesnt work sometimes...but there is a reason. You have to make sure the foot is all the way up in order for the self needle threader to work. Once you master that part, its a breeze. I dont know how I did it before... I highly recommend this sewing machine to those who does sewing on a regular basis. I am not a quilter, so dont know how that will work for heavy duty quilters. But for other different sewing projects, this is a great machine. I sew my own clothes, mainly alterations, curtains, sheets, pillow cases....etc etc.... And the best part of all, is the price......NOT too cheap or NOT too expensive....just right..... Thanks for a great product. Annie

I really love this sewing machine

I really love this sewing machine. It's the 2nd one I've ever had, the 1st being a $60 Brother machine, which was beyond awful. The Curvy makes sewing much easier. With my other machine I always dreaded doing the bobbin, but with this one, the bobbin is the easiest part. I've only been sewing about a year, and now that I have this machine, I'm actually really enjoying it.

Great Beginner Machine

After searching online for reviews and recommendations on beginner sewing machines, I decided on this machine from Singer. It was a gift to my wife who wanted to learn how to sew for the first time. While we haven't had the machine long, she was up and sewing pot holders within an hour of opening the box. So far I can say that the machine has easy set up and intuitive operation. Also, singer offers many tools for beginners including an operation DVD, a toll free help number, and online resources. Looking forward to updating this review as the machine sees more use.

Great machine

We have been using this machine for over a year now and still have no complaints, works as well as the day we got it. Excellent machine that produces quality without complicating your life. The threading system is amazing easy to use, I never stop appreciating it! Everything you could want from a sewing machine, I highly recommend.

Excellent basic Singer, has all the simple stitches and more

This is the same model sold at many fabric stores, like JoAnn Fabrics. The item is over $200 there, so with free super saver shipping this is a great value. It has all the bells and whistles you could ever want or need for the basic home sewer. Amateur's and experts alike will find it an excellent choice. This is my 2nd Singer sewing machine - the first was damaged by water, otherwise at 20 years old it had worked just fine.

Easy to use

I love this new sewing machine. I had a 30 year old Kenmore. This machine has all that my old machine had and is very simple to use.
