The Singer 7444 is easy to thread.  The bobbin is easy to wind.  The booklet included with the machine is clearly worded, clearly illustrated, and intelligently indexed.  The pedal operates the stitching mechanism with very little pressure exerted.  The tension adjusts without undue effort.
The price...

Several years ago, I purchased a brand-new Singer portable sewing machine. The model number is 5417C. I still find it difficult to thread the machine, so I actually avoid using it and do much of my mending and patching by hand. I have to review the instructions for threading the machine every time I take it out.

This model cost a couple of hundred dollars and has not needed any service, which is very much in its favor, as I am not near a service center. It is attractive and I very much like the feature of removable parts beneath the needle for good access to the seam. There is also a handy built-in...

I am in love with my new Singer 1120 sewing machine. I have found in very easy to use. The instruction book that comes with it is simple to follow and covers a wide range of sewing situations.

This machine is great for beginners like me. I was able to start in minutes and made my first simple project, a lunch bag, the first night. The price point was perfect for an entry level machine as well.

The Singer 1120 comes from the box ready to go. You only need to fill a bobbin and thread the machine. The tension settings are preset.

I did find the automatic threader difficult to understand and use. Since...

I will never buy any sewing machine other than a Singer. They are built to last. I finally wore out my old Singer that is approximately 30 years old. I have had it repaired very few times, this last time around, they no longer make the piece that has worn out, and so I had to purchase a new one. I'm sure this one will last just as long.

I really like this sewing machine. it is so easy to use and has many options that are very usefull. I have not had a single problem at all!  I have not used all of the attachments, nor have i used all of the different stitches.  I believe that it has about 50 different stitches!  even though it is not an embroidery machine, it has alot of embroidery stitches.  I also like that it has a little green light when I have it set so that the stitch is at exactly the right length.

I have used my Singer to sew basic clothing and am sewing a quilt on it currently with just simple quilting.  I have the Scholastic Singer and it does well with many ranges of material thickness.  It did have problems with four layers of thick denim, but with thin, I imagine it would do better.  Overall, I am very pleased with my machine and plan to use it for many more years to come.  It is a good product for the money.

I love to sew. I don't do a whole lot of sewing but I do like to make a dress or halloween costumes here and there. I like a sewing machine that is easy to use and doesn't break down on me much. The Singer has really worked well for me. I have been sewing since I was ten years old. I was able to purchse my first sewing machine almost 2 years ago. The Singer was right at my price range and has not given me any problems since.

          I have an antique Singer sewing machine - treddle style - from1923! I wouldn't take anything in the world for it! I am scared to death of modern machines...they move too fast for me, but because it's a treddle - I can control the speed, and feel much more comfortable using it.

          I'm sure most people will disagree with me on this because people nowadays seem to value expediancy in all things, but I prefer the quality and safety of an older machine. When I'm not using my old Singer, I simply sew by hand. In my opinion there is nothing like old world craftsmanship...

     The first machine I ever used was a Singer Sewing Machine when I was 7 years old, and I have owned nothing but ever since. They are always keeping up to date with the newest ideas and are very well made. The only reason I've bought new ones is because they have come up with a new feature that would be useful to me. And the other machines usually went to someone else in the family, my daughter, a grandaughter and a daughter-in-law. My mother has had her last Singer for over 20 years and still sews like a dream. They are economical or you can get a more expensive one. No matter what you... review »

I purchased the Singer Prelude model on the spur of the moment....my son needed a costume for school the next day and there was no way I was going to pay what the stores wanted for the shabby material they supplied. This was around Halloween but not a halloween costume. I decided instead to buy the machine and make the "Super Hero" costume. I found the machine priced well, did a good job and although a little hard to thread...worth what I spent. It also, made me #1 mom for the day.Not for the serious sewers....but for the occasional...perfect.

On the whole I am well satisfied with my Singers sewing machines...yes I have three!  My main complaint is that most evrything comes from China, or the parts are from the US but it is built in China...where do we get anything made in the US anymore.
I use my Singer a greatr deal for making garments, repairs and also to make some craft items.  I have used a Singer since I was 12 years old and am very comfortable using it.  I have tried other brands but always go back to a Singer.
I hope that there will always be a Singer sewing machine.

The singer sewing machine for embroidery is great the only con is having to buy the extra software.  The price of the machine is reasonable and it is very user friendly but you have to know how to use a computer.  This is my firt embroidery sewing machine and I am very happy with it and the results it produces.  I make blankets and was paying the local shop about $5 to embroider a block that I can now do for nothing except time.  I highly recommend this machine

      I have a old Singer Sewing machine that was passed down to me from my Grandma. Still works ! but it was the older heavy model. My husband bought me a new Light weight Singer sewing machine last year for Christmas. Its so handy light weight. I save tons of money hemming, my kids clothes...curtains. Love it. Works perfect everytime I pull it out.
