I've been sewing since I was a teenager and now I'm in my forties mostly sewing for you two young daughters...I'm not a professional but certainly know how to sew and how to maintain my sewing machines.
I received my new Singer CG590 and was a little disappointed with the all the plastic parts...but once I started sewing all my cares and concerns vanished.
Over the last month I've sewn 2 dresses, 2 peasants skirts with yards and yards of fabric, pajamas and have done alterations. I did make a few adjustments to the machine tension and had to refer back to the instructions a few times but other wise the machine preformed flawlessly, the stitching was great and I personally found the machine easy to use. Plus I love that the CG590 is NOT a computer. I want to sew for my girls not be a computer programmer!!!
Overall I'm very very happy with my purchase.
My only complaint...I wish the motor was more quiet.
August 2016 - I'm sad. We moved and I made the mistake of letting the movers move machine. Big mistake. I think it was crushed (causing the bobbin stick to get pushed into the machine and gears or moving to be destroyed). Up until the move the machine worked well 5 yesrs, stitching was even and smooth and yes the machine was a little loud but it maxee happy. RIP my machine :(
Here are the best attributes of this machine: First, this is a fully mechanical machine (ie- not computerized) so I can open it up and clean it myself without needing to have it serviced. I clean my machine monthly so that saves a crazy amount of money and time. Second, it’s fast and strong! I’ve tried many other machines and NONE of them sew as quickly or through as many thick layers. This guy is a beast! And I build corsets and tailored garments so that’s just what I need. I often break needles on pins and steel boning but the machine keeps going! I service it once a year and that seems to be enough. Third: The price! This machine is basically the bridge between a home sewing machine and an industrial machine. And so, to buy an industrial machine of this caliber (which is a difficult comparison bc industrial machines are specialized so they either do straight stitch or buttonholes, etc) costs several grand. I can destroy dozens of CGs before hitting that price. You can buy a decent home sewer for about 100+ more but you won’t be able to service it yourself and it won’t have the same torque in the motor so it’ll be slower. A home sewer might last longer than this machine but it’ll cost you more in time and money. And honestly, from my experience I kill a home sewing machine in about 3-4 months, I’ve bought 2 of these machines in 10 years.
It appears that Singer had a bad batch of these CG590's come through for 2010, all with the same sloppy assembly, for I was not the first caller to report this problem to Singer. (See 1 star review of this item on Amazon.) I'm happy with the outcome; time will tell if my new machine holds up. Be advised that the warranty on parts is good for only 90 days for this machine. After that, parts and labor will be your responsibility.
The technician at the Singer dealership spent a few minutes showing me how to correctly load the bobbin and thread the machine. The instruction manual for the CG590 has vague diagrams, though the written instructions appear to be fairly adequate. The technician pointed out at least two areas where I had missed guiding the thread to the needle. On this machine, it is difficult to see the guides. If you order one of these machines, ask someone who is familiar with Singer to provide instructions. I have owned two Singers in the past and this unit is very different from my earlier machines.
A major drawback for me is the poor lighting on the "head." You'll need an additional light source to properly use this machine.
