I bought an embroidery machine and I wanted some thread.This was expensive thread but what a great collection of embroidery threads it is and you get that great storage box.Very happy with this.
So sorry that this is a very bad product.Singer went out of business many years ago and only sold the right to use the name.This machine sewed 2 quilt tops before freezing up and had to be thrown away totally useless and not fixable.It is a nice size for taking to quilt class but needs to keep working more than 2 months.
Very good price for this item.Great size for machine embroidery.A "must have" for me.
I have this frame.I bought one that came with a Juki machine.I was frustrated putting the machine base together.It did not come with all the correct bolts.I had to go to the hardware store to get the correct ones.I recommend making cloth leaders, getting bungee clamps and a stitch regulator up front to save your sanity and time in long run.The stitch regulator for this frame and my machine did not seem to work.The roller ball bearing wheels were not big enough to prevent the regulator roller from rubbing on the machine frame so I also had to go to the hardware store and replace all 4 wheels. After all that I was able to finally quilt.
I selected the Brother SA224CV after reading many other reviews on various coverstitch sergers. I have not tried all the accessory feet I purchased for the machine but the standard stitch has been very fast and easy to use.I have a Viking serger but never used the coverhem features because it took me longer to set up the machine than do the serging. I have a place in my sewing space for this machine to be set up all the time. For the price I think this is a great machine!
I bought this machine yesterday.It was so easy to use that within minutes we had threaded it and started sewing.Indeed, I was quite happy until today (a day later) when the bobbin thread started bunching. Within minutes the machine stopped stitching completely!!(The needle thread just won't pick up the bobbin thread at all!!) I telephoned the store and they think it may need timing adjustments!!!Will be returning it in the morning for a complete refund.Am thinking of getting a Brother instead.I had paid more for the Singer brand but am thoroughly disappointed!
So far I haven't seen much this machine can't stitch thru!I monogram on key Fobs, diaper bags, clothes, burp clothes, overalls, hats, etc!You name it you it works!It has great features like the autothreader, drop in bobbin, warning when the bobbin is running out, I love the outline feature that will show you in the field exactly where the design will go!I love the several hoop sizes!I have the small, large and extra large and love them all!All in all I would highly recommend this machine to anyone!
Save your money.We bought this machine from Target just to handle a few repairs and a hem here and there. Simple enough, eh?NOT. First off, this machine works off of 4 AA batteries or DC current; therefore, the piddly motor doesn't have enough power to drive the needle through anything but the lightest fabric.Next, upon assembly the foot petal did not work, thus the only way we could use the machine is by switching the power on or off.We tried it out for about 10 minutes and agreed that this machine, at any price, is a loser.Think about paying $20 more for the Brother LS2125I.
This is the first walking foot I've used, but it fits my simple Singer machine well and does a great job pulling the fabric through evenly on the top and bottom.The feed dogs work great, and it is simple to attach.The one I got in the mail looked a little different to me than the picture, but it fits and works well.
i love this pad. it is perfect size for my overlock pfaff and this is quite a wide machine. i don't have anything bad to say about this product. it is simply great. even the rim catcher releases very smooth once you want to throw away all of the trims.
I purchased this machine 6 weeks ago.I researched for months, read loads of info about so many machines, of all types and prices.I learned of the brand Janome through a friend who uses a Bernina.She had sewed on one and really liked it.After reading more info on the Janome website, it seemed that for a very reasonable price this machine might be just fine. For a basic model it is loaded with featutes.I have a lot of experience sewing, and know that most of the time I just need a good solid machine, not full of bells and whistles that will rarely be used. Most other sources have this machine priced much higher.Out of the box the start up is quick and simple, manual very easy, very clear.I was sewing in about 20 minutes after getting it out of the box.It is quiet and powerful. Very beautiful stitches.Easy operation.I am impressed.My main reason for this purchase was to get my daughter a good machine.After buying this one I really like this Janome, and would buy again.Maybe Amazon will start to carry more models of Janome. I will check back in after I have done more projects on this, and let people know how it goes. I definately am content thus far. The only reason for four stars is that I have not used the buttonholer yet, or put in a zipper.
received product quickly. was not working properly and company shipped a new one within days. Still having trouble so sent both machines back for a refund. Had to call a few times about credit but all in all great customer service just not a great product.
I recently purchased this machine (not on amazon.) It is such a LEMON! Constant error messages during regular sewing and embroidery. I spent hours on the phone with service people trying to resolve the problem. I attempted to embroider 5 times. Every time the thread got jammed and knotted. Ripped my fabric twice. It never made it all the way through a design. It might be tempting to buy this machine for the price compared to others, but there must be a reason for the low price right? It doesn't even deserve one star. If i could give it a -5 i would!
I have had this machine for years! I paid a lot more for it than Amazon is offering. So the price is just not an issue here. The main advantage of this machine is 1) It is Singer (the name says it all); 2) It has an automatic thread tension control (an invaluable feature for novices!); 3) It has 17 stitches (even the one for sewing on buttons, embroidery, and monogram); 4) It is very easy to operate, as a very detailed and easy to comprehend user manual is included; and 5) It is light-weight, compared to those bulky Kenmore and Bernina machines, it is is just a baby!
I purchased this machine as a replacement to the ancient sewing machine in our attic that was my great grandmother's.It boasts of being able to sew through three layers of denim, but I haven't tried that yet.I did make a pair of pajama pants out of a tricky thin, slightly stretchy satin, and it worked impeccably.The auto-tension adjustment is a piece of cake and the different stitches work very well.As a beginning sewer, this machine meets all my needs.The slipcover that came with it is very nice as well - no huge case needed to keep it free of dust.
Having grown up with the wonderful Singer Manual machines as in non-digitalized I thought I'd treat myself to the digital world and update all of my machines at once. Lucky for me I didn't get rid or trade in any of those good old ones.
I was so excited when my package arrived. I have had a lot of experience with sewing, and with sewing machines. I wounded a bobbin, and I threaded the machine, and started to sew. unfortunately the needle thread would not catch the bobbin thread. So, It wouldn't sew. I tried different settings, adjusted the tension. I changed the needle, but still the thread just would not catch. I was so disappointed. I returned the SewProZZ-401, I'm still waiting for my refund, which could take up to 4 weeks.
I have been satisfied with singer sewing machines in the past so was happy when my daughter purchased this machine for me as a gift.

I'm no an expert at sewing but have had some good experiences with an older rock-solid Singer zigzag.This machine is the basic do-it-yourself entry-level zig-zag walking foot capable of handling heavier fabrics and sails.It is nearly identical to those sold under many different names.God luck deciphering which ones are made in China or Taiwan, the latter supposedly a bit better made.A fine-tuned version (at a significantly higher price) is available from Sailrite (beware some of the sleight-of-hand discounters selling that brand though Sailrite themselves are highly reputable).
