Singer Sewing Machine - Ingenuity - 7436 Review

I wish I'd taken more time and done more research before purchasing this machine. 

Here are the features I like about the machine:

1. Machine threading

2.  Needle threading

3.  Bobbin rewinding

 Here is a list of reasons I would not purchase it again.

1. The light is very dim.  One must set-up additional light near the machine. 

2.  The reverse button is slow to respond causing one to mis-judge where stitches will reinforce

3.  The darning stitch can be used only in forward, not in reverse.  One must keep moving to a beginning place and start again.  Darning takes a lot longer.

4. The book does not give information about additional accessories such as what type of bobbins to purchase.  Also a search on this website turns up nothing.

If you are a beginner and do not intend to progress beyond the beginning stage, then you might be very happy with this machine.  However, if you intend for your sewing to improve then you would be better off investing in a better machine.
