- Easy to change from a single stitch to a zigzag. I often zig the edges on cotton to keep it from frazzling.I then switch to single stitch to make a tight seam stitch.
- Bobbin fills without machine take up bobbing up and down which tangles your thread. You can also leave work in place while filling and changing the bobbin.
- I like it. It is NOT heavy duty, though.But it runs smooth and makes nice stitches. It is also quite easy to thread, it just goes through without catching on anything.
- hreading is fine, tension is fine, stitch width, length all work good. The machine sews much faster than I can handle, so I don't 'hammer down' on the pedal and it sews slow fine too.
- The only con is it doesn't have nearly as many stitch types etc. As some of the computerized machines out there.
- This machine has a plastic gear that turns the shaft. It will jump time if anything gets jammed.
- Love the stretch stitch on this and it runs very smoothly... love it!!!
- The different stitches are very helpful when making clothing. I don't have a serger, so I usually sew French seams, but this machine has a serger-like stitch for when French seams aren't practical.
- The stitches are beautiful. The machine is fast and precise and feels sturdy while still being quiet and light weight.
- A lovely machine. I wanted a heavy duty machine for quilting and upholstery fabric and this machine does the job well. It has tremendous speed and is easy to use.
- The stitches are fairly good but the stretch stitches are not always that reliable, I found they were better, if you had the tension down to 0 and went quite quick, the slower you go the worse they are.
- Very sturdy all metal frame gives me no worries about sewing thick fabrics like drapes and slip covers.
- You can adjust the pressure on the foot to match the material.
- End clips off easy and quick to do sleeves. Button holes easy too.
- This is a heavy duty machine. It has a 25 year warranty on the head for either home or commercial use. I just got it today and set it up with heavy thread and needle to test sew 4 layers of sail cloth using a zigzag stitch. It worked very well.
- The machine looks nice, but we could not get it to produce an actual straight stitch. We used the right settings and called into customer service, but the stitch lines were still slanted. The stitch overall is straight, but each stitch is slanted from right to left or left to right.
- It had a horrible chemical smell that would give me a headache while I was using it since you have your head quite close to the machine while sewing. I love Singer, so this was a disappointment.
- Having problems with 'Reverse' sticking when sewing stitch length above a '2'. Have to put it back under '2' to get the feed dogs to snap back into 'Forward.' Tightened one screw a little firm on the side while cleaning and it took me awhile to figure out why I kept having loops in my stitches.
- Very happy & it's so easy to use, foot pedal is very light & flimsy & you need to put a lot of pressure to start it & then it goes to fast.
- It's easy to thread up. And logical, I could probably have done it without looking at the instructions, but then I'm used to Singers.
- I like the fact it's mainly metal, but its let down by the plastic foot lift/drop switch. It's a really lovely machine and I highly recommend it.
- I wish the free arm was a little smaller. My mom has an old Bernina, and its free arm is probably 70% smaller.
- The free arm is much wider than the one on my RICCAR it makes maneuvering a pant leg or long sleeve difficult because there is not enough room between the body of the machine.
