So here's the but .... when spooling a bobbin (black cotton) I noticed at the end of the spooling that the little plastic peg that is used to automatically stop the spooling was wearing off on the black cotton. Basically the cotton was scraping away the automatic 'stop spool' peg. This is shoddy and realistically there should be a metal cover to stop this. I guess that's why this machine is cheaper than others. All plastic = fast wearing. This is preventable by just stopping short manually and removing the bobbin. Or maybe I'll have to add a metal cover to the little peg !! It's not a show stopper and shouldn't stop you from considering this machine.
I would realistically give this machine 4.5 stars but Amazon doesn't have that rating !! Value for money is great.
[1-month later]
I have really got to appreciate the subtleties that are designed into this machine and they are wonderful. I've actually gone through quite a few repairs of clothes now and it performs excellently. I use the needle-down mode more than I thought I would and it is a great way to stop you dropping stitches. The results look very professional !!
I've also done work on some light leather and the machine is perfectly capable however I don't think the motor will hold out long for this kind of work continuously. It's not industrial spec so I don't expect to use it for this very often. More as a test in this example. I've used heavy needles (#18) with bonded nylon thread for leather work and it has no problems.
I've used this machine a lot on Denim and it seems to have no issues going through 3 layers. I've had to use the hand-wheel on 4 layer Flat Felled Seams but this is because I want to make sure the stitch is even, hence me going slow. I believe it would easily penetrate the 4 layers. Here I've been using a #16 needle and denim thread.
Value = 4.8 stars now IMO.
[21 Jan 2015] I re-rated to 5 stars since that's closer to 4.8. I've made a shirt from scratch since my Denim work above. The machine is a great little workhorse and sews through thick fabric (4 layers) well. I can hear the motor forcing the needle through on slow stitch mode and it does it well. Love the needle down function. I've not had any issues with jamming or having to set thread tension. I wish the hole in the middle were bigger for feeding material through but I guess that's why you go to an industrial spec machine!! I've used a lot of the presser feet and they have all worked well. I've also used a hem & cut foot for doing fake serging and that has worked very well too. Very impressed !! Stitches are balanced, equally spaced and look good. Very professional finish (which I don't deserve!!).
I would say you need to be gentle with the machine and let it feed the material. Don't force it or it will pucker (but I'm guessing that's just good sewing discipline anyway!!). Also make sure you use the correct needle for the thickness of material and thread type. I used a #16 needle for the thicker material was sewing.
Pros:
1.) Very solidly built
2.) Easy to thread the machine (especially compared to my mother's 70s singer!)
3.) Auto-tension works very well most of the time
4.) Lots of features, like needle down and speed adjustment
5.) More stitches than you will ever need
6.) Quick and easy to adjust stitch length
7.) Comes with lots of useful feet, like a darning foot for free-motion quilting
8.) Has free-arm useful for bags & sleeves
Cons:
1.) Struggles a bit with lots of fabric layers. I've noticed this when binding a quilt when going over seams. That can mean 5 layers of fabric plus batting, so quite a lot. In this situation, the machine doesn't feed the fabric well. I'm not sure if other machines would do better or not.
2.) Small arm - 5.5 inches. If you're interested in quilting, this is a problem. It's manageable for crib quilts, but when I finally upgrade to a more expensive machine, this will definitely be the reason.
I've pieced extensively with this machine. I typically operate it at max speed, and it hums along and sews a very nice quarter inch seam with my quarter inch foot with very little guidance. I also have had reasonable luck doing free motion quilting. When I use higher loft batting, like wool, I have to adjust the tension, and have had some tension issues if I move too fast. Overall, though, I've been pleased with its performance.
I bought this machine as an absolute beginner, having sewed more than a decade before on a 25-year-old singer. In my opinion, this machine has all the capability a beginner needs. The bottom line is that I've been using it two years now, and I find it a joy to use. I've had great pleasure learning to quilt and make other small items for my daughter. If you're a beginner, you want to find a machine that will allow you to find pleasure in sewing and not hold you back. I think this machine meets those requirements.
In the sewing community, I think there is a certain amount of brand snobbery, and Singer is not well thought of these days. Many will advise you to buy from a dealer rather than online. It may very well make sense to buy a Bernina from a dealer once you've figured out this is a hobby that you want to stick with, but this machine gives you a low-frustration platform to explore sewing as a hobby without laying out too much cash.

Reviewed in Mexico on February 10, 2023
I had the opportunity to try a couple of machines at a local store and among them were the more expensive versions of this series. I liked them but they would have been over my budget. I finally settled with this machine as it is in an affordable price class and met my budget.
My first impression:
Positive:
- it runs right out of the box. I took it out - connected it and it was ready to go.
- it is light but not too light so that it does not wander on the table
- it is running very silently and I like that i can adjust the speed manually on the machine rather through the pedal alone.
- I enjoy the seperate chords for a) the pedal and b) the connection to the plug.
- the manual is great and the machine easy to handle
- I like that many parts are made from metal which makes them more durable in the long-run
- after some first experiences with sewing different fabrics: It took all fabrics wonderfully! Great sewing experience. #
- the automatic thread tension works great and gives each stitch on different fabrics just the right amount of tension...
- I enjoy the many different stitch patterns and they are great for example to do tablecloth or placemats.
Downsides:
I don't have really many downsides yet - but:
- I find the loading of bobbins a tricky business. You have to make sure that you get the thread proper into the slot for the thread tension before you pull it up - otherwise you don't have any thread tension from the lower thread at all and the result is messy. It needs a bit of practice to get used to it. My suggesetion: use metal bobbins in this machine rather than plastic ones!!! Somehow it is easier to get them settled in...
- the handle to lower and lift the foot is made from soft plastic... I wonder how long this lasts. I find it "wiggly".
- when I got the machine the bobbin-winder was in position. It took me a while to find out what the message on the display was supposed to tell me... It didn't give any hint in the fast-starter-manual and it took me a while to find it in the "big" manual.
Overall: it is a great machine. Some start-problems but i think that comes with every new machine one buys. I really enjoy the sewing on this machine and find it very easy to handle. As mentioned before: except for the handle for the foot: it makes an overall solid impression - and that is true as well for all cables that come along.
Side comment:
If you look for a machine: Find stores that let you try machines before buying. It was a very revealing experience for me. For me the "logic" of a machine, eg. placing of buttons and handles, light quality etc was increasingly important. The overall handling was another one. Weight, durability, sound of engine etc. ... It makes a real difference to have an impression of the handling (even for a short time!).
