Amazon.com Review
Capable of 40 stitch functions and loaded with other options, this Singer machine is simple to operate and makes it possible for even novices to enjoy creative sewing. Some of the convenience features include a top drop-in bobbin that's easy-in, easy-out, and easy to see; an easy threading system with a dial for precisely adjusting needle-thread tension; an electronically controlled foot pedal for smoothly maintaining or changing speeds; touch-and-wind handwheel declutching; push-button reverse sewing for neat seam-ends; a three-needle position selector for attaching zippers and top stitching; and a built-in four-step buttonholer for easy buttonhole sewing. The machine is quiet and ruggedly built, includes a sewing light and a built-in carrying handle, provides horizontal thread delivery for better stitches, and has a slide-off extension table for free-arm sewing. Real excitement comes from the 40 stitch functions provided, including, for example, overedge, monogram, satin, sandcastle, feather, kite, and darning. A complete accessory package (various presser feet, friction-free spool holders, transparent bobbins, and needles for sewing different fabrics) is included, and it stores onboard the machine. Invaluable is Singer's illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet covering everything from the basics to zipper sewing to pattern stitching to free-arm sewing to highly detailed buttonhole sewing--and much, much more. --Fred Brack

Great machine - no problems
by Customer at January 05th, 2003
I bought this sewing machine after breaking the machine I inherited from my mom. I had heard by some to stay away from Singers, but after much research decided to purchase this machine. I have bene very, very pleased with it. I sew quite a bit and I have never had any problems with this Singer.
