Customer Review

Great for sewing "dummies"
by Customer A13AW0P0NV4BLY at February 01st, 2008
I come from a LONG line of seamstresses. Both my great grandmothers, both grandmothers, and my mother were & are most excellent seamstresses. My grandmother and mother have an online business using their talent. I, however, couldn't sew a straight stich, much less THREAD a sewing machine. I had another singer sewing machine and I pretty much made stitches that look like wads of hair. But I desparately wanted to learn to sew. So I thought I would just buy another machine because the other one I had was older.

I was searching for the perfect machine. And well this one was the one I HAD to have! I loved the features and I figured between Mom and Mammaw I could learn it. When I first took it out of the box I sat right there and threaded it. Within about 5 minutes! Right after I threaded it I practiced a few stitches. THEY WERE STRAIGHT!!! I was immediately hooked!

Within a week I had made and embellished an outfit that I SOLD on a popular auction site! The lady LOVED it! Since then I've been sewing like I'm outta control! And it's good too! Mom was impressed! So was my husband, who just knew I wouldn't use it! LOL!!!

If you're wanting to learn to sew then this one's the one you want! The pedal is easy to control so you wont have to worry about running away with the stitches. It also has three sewing speeds, which REALLY helps a beginner. Threading it is sooooo easy, as well as winding the bobbin. Another great feature is the embroidery features. You can even buy different embroidery pattern cartridges. It's all digital. I am so impressed with my machine and if it ever breaks, I will buy another one just like it!
