- 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.
- Very fast compare to most manual machines, and definitely faster than any electronic. Unless you want to pay for a real commercial machine running into the thousands.
- For the speed this machine hardly moves, yes it's a little loud, but you can't have a work horse that's going to be quite. It runs about the same speed of my kenmore, but the kenmore vibrated real bad and it was even louder.
- The bobbin loading and winding is easy and fast. The Spool threading and needle threading is easy to use and simple. The machine is solid and heavy.
- To clean under the bobbin holder you have to remove the 2 screws holding the plate down, then 2 screws that hold the bobbin down.
- Very picky about the bobbin. It seems I can ONLY use the ones it came with, as with any other bobbins I have purchased cause tangle in the sew.
- 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.
- The movement of the foot "walking" seem solid. Stitches are even, once I figured out how to set it to where I wanted it for basic sewing.
- Nice feature is the see through bobbin window. You can gauge how much thread you have left on the bobbin instead of having to guess. That is a bonus. It is easy to fill a bobbin, too.
- Seams are straight and snug, and everything works the way it should. The features are terrific and controls are easy to use. Just need to make some kind of base for the pedal so it won't scoot around on the floor.
- I love the button feature and the top view bobbin. I do have to say that the foot pedal is a bit flimsy and occasionally there is a slight delay with the motor start up but overall I am very happy with it.
- This machine has the capability to change needle positions and lower the dog feed. These are very important features to me. It has 23 stitches, which I feel are more than enough.
- The light is terrible, but with a overhead light it's okay.
- No instructions on how or where to oil the machine, or any maintenance.I try to clean my machine at least every 8 hrs due to the amount of lint that gets in the machine.
