 Ok, but needle threader is a problem November 15, 2008
This is an ok machine, especially for light sewing. However, like several others, the hook for the Auto Needle Threader is missing from mine so that feature does not work. Very disappointed that such a feature that Singer touts as a major item for their product would be missing from some machines. This was one of the reasons I bought this model. Singer will not get my recommendation for this sewing machine.
 Good embroidery with some bad features November 3, 2008
I bought this to replace a Brother machine that failed after 15 years. This machine's embroidery is superior to my old machine. More stitches and the stitches are rendered better. The action is smooth (but it's the noisiest machine I've ever had). I was pleasantly surprised with the construction of the machine, I was expecting cheap construction for such an inexpensive machine.
There are a few bad features. The machine is not very responsive to the presser foot. I'm used to a machine stopping and starting directly with the presser foot. This machine goes a few stitches after the pressure is completely off the foot. And the needle always returns to the up position, so every time you need to turn a corner or do something where the needle must be down, you have to manually crank it a half stitch. The 'reverse' button is in a awkward place and there is a really annoying 'needle threader' that hangs directly to the right of the needle. This can't be removed or moved off to the side, so it just hangs in your way. It would have been a much better design to just include a cheap little threader in the storage box for the people who can't thread a needle by hand.

This is probably a very good item, but I ordered it for my mother who is 77 years old and it was just to complicated for her. Amazon.com was very gracious and took the item back with no hassels. they are great to do business with.

I love using this sewing machine. It's easy to use and light-weight so I can set it up with no problems. Instructions are easy to read and follow.
 Terrible Machine- stay away! July 14, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this machine less then one year ago. It has been repaired three times since; twice for the take up lever disconnecting and falling into the casing. My hope was to use this machine to do machine quilting and I have had to resort to doing most of the work by hand. My next purchase will definitely NOT be a Singer. The repair costs have almost equalled the purchase cost. Not a good deal. This machine has inferior quality and workmanship. Made in China.
I will be buying a new machine soon and it definitely won't be a Singer. Bernina here I come!
