What jupitermap likes about this machine
I LOVE THE DIFFERENT DECORATIVE STITCHES AND HAVE USED THEM TO MAKE THE SIMPLE PROJECTS I DO LOOK SPECIAL. I JUST MADE 40 DIFFERENT ANIMAL COSTUMES FOR A SCHOOL PLAY USING THIS MACHINE AND IT WAS EASY. BASIC AND BEGINING IS MY TYPE OF SEWING. FOR ME THIS MACHINE WAS A GOOD PRICE FOR THE DIFFERENT STITCHES AND FOR LEARNING.

What jupitermap does not like about this machine
THIS MACHINE HAS HORRIBLE LIGHTING AND AT OVER 50 THIS IS DIFFICULT. MY TEN YEAR OLD HELPS TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE PLASTIC BOBBIN COVER COULD BE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS WITH THE SINGER COMPANY. YOU CAN NOT FIND A REPLACEMENT NUMBER FOR ANYTHING ON THIS MACHINE FROM THE BOBBIN COVER TO THE BOBBIN ITSELF. THIS MACHINE IS A GREAT BEGINING MACHINE AND FOR ME A GREAT VALUE. WHEN I MOVE UP I'M SURE YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

bestgrammy7/19/08Thanks for your review...glad to know that the decorative stitches have worked well...what are the prettiest ones? Singer.com does have presser feet and bobbins available on-line...click Buy Accessories at the top of their United States home page, then type in the model # in the Find it by Model # box. There is also a replacement parts chart in PDF format under Consumer Products.

dbsewer7/19/08When you work in this price point it's tough to argue for features usually found on higher end machines. Sometimes I think companies make these as throw-aways and don't realize customers might actually want to keep them around for a while. I'm glad you're getting good use from this and hope you will upgrade at some point.
