Amazon.com Review
Capable of 17 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; a easy threading system with automatic needle-thread tension; an electronically controlled foot pedal for smoothly maintaining or changing speeds; touch-and-wind handwheel declutching for fast, easy bobbin winding; push-button reverse sewing for neat seam-ends; and a three-needle position selector for attaching zippers and top stitching. 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 17 stitch functions provided, including, for example, embroidering, monogram, satin, and darning. A complete accessory package (various presser feet, friction-free spool holders, transparent bobbins, and needles for sewing different fabrics) is included. 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

Love It!
by Customer at December 28th, 2002
I haven't sewed in 25 yrs since Home Ec. class. I bought this because the price was right and it was a Singer.
When I recieved it, I read the manual--very user friendly. It did a great job of describing the machine.
It helped make my first project easy, beautiful, and eager to do more. Highly recommend it.
A STITCH IN TIME - IN THIS CASE 17!
by Customer A3M174IC0VXOS2 at October 13th, 2002
Ease of use is at the top of my list, and this sewing machine certainly fills the bill.
An especially attractive feature is the number of stitches it offers - 17 in all, even including embroidery. Now, my creations look professional!
The instructions are clear and simple to follow - a necessity for non-mechanical folks like me.
