What mcurk likes about this machine
I love the needle threader. The automatic tension works wonderfully. The stitch length allows a basting stitch of 4.8, which is easier to remove than a 4. The buttonholer works well when set up properly. The variable speed control is wonderful for a beginner.

The low cost allowed me to start sewing again after 30 years. I didn't want to spend a lot in case it would be relegated to the closet. It's worked wonderfully and I've had a really good "re-entry" experience with sewing.

What mcurk does not like about this machine
At some point, I may want it to sew faster, but for now the slower speed works quite well for me. A better light would be helpful.

Cera 2/11/12Thanks for this review. I am looking for a new machine and want something that is good but not too expensive and have been looking at this Stylist 7258 as it also got a Consumer's Report award. Does anyone know who actually makes this model?

zigzag ohio 2/23/12I looked up this machine on Singer.com. I was impressed with how many buttonhole styles there are. Sounds like a good machine at a good price.

mcurk 3/6/12It was on sale on the sears web site and the retail store matched the price for me. The price is up to 248.00 now.
