This is a good, sturdy, basic sewing machine.  I have had mine for 4 years and use it to make things for my two daughters.  It stands up to use, doesn't require a lot of maintenance and is easy to use.  I have never had to do anything to this machine... not even oil it... it just works perfectly. ...

I wanted a nice sewing machine that would last me for many years.  I like the digital features offered on the Kenmore Machines.  I purchased the Kenmore 385.19233 model which has the pink spin wheel.  I watched the video which helped to orient me to the features of the machine and then was able to use them. Since I am a novice at sewing, I really liked the simplicity of threading the machine, as well as the ease of changing the feet on the machine. I also really like the auto thread feature.  This machine has several stich options which is nice.  It also comes with a plastic cover which is... review »

Over the many years I have been a sewer, I have had the best results with a kenmore sewing machine. I have used them for many prodjects, for making swimming suits for my children; wedding dresses; coats and upolstering the many different articles in a van convergance business I ran. The Kenmore sewing machine could handle it all.

I purchased this machine to quilt.  I have made 20 or so quilt tops and 10-15 full quilts.

It does everything and without any issues.  I have also sewn numerous childrens clothing including hats and purses.  I have used bias tape for rounded edges and this machine is perfect for guiding and holding a good line.  The extra feet are reasonable in price, the black storage bag and foot book are well worth the investment.  My friends who have spent thousands for a machine can not afford to make the items I make, because my machine was less expensive than most of their attachments.  Love my Kenmore!...

This sewing machine is easy to use and I haven't had any trouble with it. I have had it about 1 1/2 years and I am working on 5 different quilt tops with it.

My Kenmore sewing machine is the model 385.16520000.  I have had it for more than 7 years now and it still performs very well.  I use it to make quilts, home decorations, curtains and drapes,  not to mention mending countless articles of clothing.  I have replaced many zippers with the easy to use zipper foot.  I just love the buttons hole maker.  It is so simple to work with.  Sewing buttons on are a breeze.  The zigzag stitches are remarkable.  I make alot of wall hangings and use that all the time. The many features of this machine made it so simple to choose from the many other models...

I have had this sewing machine since 1973. The only thing I have ever had to do with it is replace the needle and then only one time! It has moved with me to approx. 10 places and is still running. I just was given a new machine so I am passing this Kenmore down to my daughter who  I am sure will use it for amny more years. BTW, the new machine is a kenmore also!

I have a Kenmore which I purchased 33 years ago and it still sews like a new one. I've even sewn leather on it. I hadn't thought about purchasing a new one.

I have a Kenmore Sewing machine and a Kenmore Serger.  They are reliable, not expensive to repair and preform well.  I've had both machines for over 10 years and have no regrets!  Sears services the machines in a timely manner.  The accessories are reasonably priced.  The features are user friendly.
