Do not go by the bad reviews! This is one of the best values you will find for a SINGER sewing machine. It is a good machine, easy to sew with and will go the distance when quilting or making drapes etc. The machine is quality through and through. I also have a BROTHER regular machine and a SINGER SERGER. I use all 3. The SINGER is easier than the BROTHER to thread, both sew well. I sew all day every day. This is a good little machine. This model of a SINGER conventional is perfect for every day use or once in a while. It will always work well. Never let others sew on your machine. Once it is set for your touch it will not work well if others use it. I would loan out my car before I would my SINGER. see less

Was little reluctant to purchase because reviews. I have an old singer that my father bought my mother when she was pregnant with me. That was way over 40 years ago. I am an amiture sewer and know a little from what my mother taught me. This machine is perfect. I am sewing together recycled wool and cashmere sweaters and making blankets. I wasn't sure if it would work because of the thinckness of the material, but it has been amazingly easy. Less frustration then imagined. I did watch a couple tutorials on utube as I was threading the machine and loading the bobbin. This was a big help. The manual was a bit hard to follow when threading machine. It is actually quite similar to my old machine but way lighter!! This machine has been well worth the [$] and a trip to Target. Only thing I would change would be the reverse switch would be easier if it could be locked into place and you didn't have to hold down with finger. Thanx for reading... see less

I was a little aprehensive due to the price of the machine, but it went on sale and I figured I couldn't go wrong. It has turned out to be a great sewing machine! I read reviews and did what some suggested...sewed for a little while on a scrap piece of material to get the oils moving...threaded the bobbin correctly and read a little about it. I LOVE the sewing machine. I have made my grand daughter's nursery decor with it. I hope she likes it. see less

I feel I know my way around sewing machines, new and old- or I can figure it out pretty quick. I was warned by my mom not to get a drop in bobbin,due to the trouble with tension adjustment. I hate when she's right! I couldn't get the tension adjusted properly to sew anything. There is only one tension knob to operate the top and the bottom thread. I work with this machine, read the directions, looked up possible mistakes I might be making- nothing worked. However, I was very happy with the overall quality and function of the machine, but thread tension is everything. Could have been just this one machine. In the end I had to return it. see less

I researched all models before I bought a machine as I'm a beginner and this one had the best value for the money and was one of the easier ones to use. After getting it home, and breaking it out and using it, no problems to report. Excellent product and I highly recommend. see less

My husband bought this machine for me 7 years ago for my birthday. I opened the box and kept it only because he put so much thought into it. I have grown to love this machine, I am teaching our oldest daughter who is 7 how to sew on this machine. I have made several Halloween costumes and dresses for our daughters and have found this machine worthy of all of our memories and our new memories to come. Just thought I would share. see less

Right out of the box, this machine was easy to use. Threading the machine and bobbin is so super easy. The drop in bobbin is a HUGE plus. The fact that is comes with a "case" -its just a cover you slide over the top, but it works! was also a nice feature. For someone that "knows what they're doing" yet at the same time still has no clue, I am VERY happy with this machine. I've heard complaints about the light not being bright enough, but I don't find this an issue at all. I tend to keep the overhead lights on when I sew, so... yeah, not a big deal. I've hemmed jeans and made some purses, and hemmed a couple skirts and dress slacks, etc.. and its worked perfect. Ad far as how loud it is, I think its actually pretty quiet. It does chug when you sew through multiple layers of demin, but what machine wouldn't? I love this machine and am VERY happy this is the one I went with. see less

Let me tell you....I am brand new to sewing, but after finding the right machine,THIS ONE, I have the confidence of a well-seasoned professional. [...] I then decided to do some research and found this Brother 6000i to have such excellent reviews that I had to give it a try. WOW-I LOVE IT! Target is my favorite place to shop, so I happily ordered it online and received it even before the estimated arrival time. It is so easy to use and is a great value. Mine came with the extended sewing table and hard cover which was a bonus, plus I got 5 percent off and free shipping with my Target card! Overall, this was an excellent purchase and I would recommend this machine to anyone, beginner or advanced sewer. see less

I had purchased a Singer ... see more

I had purchased a Singer a while back and had so much trouble using it that I basically quit sewing. I read a lot of reviews on this machine and decided to try it. I'm a so glad I did! It is very easy to use and so well designed that I am sewing again! see less

When I found this machine ... see more

When I found this machine, I looked at many. I have always owned a Singer, looked at different machines. I liked this one right away, but was hesitant after reading some of the reviews. I am glad that I came back to this one. I have had it for several months and I use it about three times a week and it has never given me one second of trouble. It is easy to use, and I love the added features. It glides effortlessly over several layers and one very lightweight layer of fabric. I bought this to replace an older Singer. The automatic needle threader is very helpful, as my eyesight is not as good as it used to be. I love the ease of changing stitches and the amount of different stitches available. I haven't used all the attachments yet, but look forward to that. The only con I could think of is that the foot pedal slides, but that is not a big deal. I bought this [...]. Great deal! I would recommend this machine without hesitation. see less

After reading a plethora ... see more

After reading a plethora of reviews, I nervously ordered this machine. I was weary about buying over the internet that I couldn't play with, inspect, etc as on occasion reviews have revealed broken machines, missing items but I figured I would take a chance. This machine is GREAT! I recommend taking the time to read the instruction manual, look over the machine and learn the different bits and bobs. There are SO many neat features. It is a smooth, quiet, surprising heavy animal that IS easy to use and the computerized buttons require a little common sense, but the manual helps. I DID have a wee tangle after my 3 curtain panel but it was a quick fix and I continued on my merry way. I am beyond thrilled and am now planning on tackling pillows. Definitely read the manual, it IS a computerized machine, so it takes getting used to, but absolutely worth the price! see less

Because my experience wit ... see more

Because my experience with Singer machines has been extremely good, I knew I wanted another one. Over the years I have misplaced alot of the attachments and with retirement and free time looming, this was to be a gift for myself. I did lots of research online and all of the reviews of this machine fit the bill for what I wanted -an economical, no nonsense machine with a few perks to make my sewing more enjoyable. This is what this machine has delivered for me. It was very easy to use first time out - a few differences in threading (all better) and I really like the see through bobbin cover. I haven't tried all of the special foot attachments yet, but the ones I have tried are great and pretty easy to figure out. I like the small footprint of the machine and don't really mind not having the hard cover - much lighter to move around so I don't think I'll order one as I had originally planned. I may just sew a dust cover myself. I did test alot of the different stitches and they looked just great - can't wait to use them on a real project. I'm in the middle of making a renaissance gown using heavy satin fabric and the fabric glides nicely with no slipping. That's the pro's of the machine - the con's are few, but I wish the foot pedal was heavier as it moves around some. I taped a small piece of that stuff you put under rugs to keep them from moving and that has helped some. FYI - I am a somewhat rusty, medium to advanced sewer and this machine fits my needs nicely at this time. Perhaps if I really get into sewing for profit, I may upgrade again, but have no plans to do so at this time. see less

Case is very sturdy and well made. Bought as a gift for my mother-in-law for the Singer Sewing Machine we bought her for Christmas. Also lightweight for her to lift herself as she is in her 80's. see less

I didn't see good reviews on this but I got it anyway. I have it now for over a few months and I like it. It has enough room for other supplies even. So far so good. see less

I decided to purchase this model because the overall reviews were really positive, more so than other similarly priced models. Because it's my first time owning a sewing machine I felt I needed something that would provide enough variety in stitches without over complicating the simple things I wanted to make. I received the machine yesterday, and after my children had gone to bed I set to work, in the space of 5 hrs I'd read the really easy to follow instructions, set-up the machine, made a template, pinned the material together stitched it and stuffed it. The machine is pretty quiet. When thread from my material got stuck I just undid the door to the front loading bobbin and undid some part behind the bobbin and it all fitted back in really easily after I removed the tangled thread. The stitches look great on the material too. Thumbs up for this machine!! see less

Easy to use no matter if you're just starting sewing or have been sewing for years! Works very well and it's super cute! see less

I bought this machine aft ... see more

I bought this machine after carefully reading the reviews. After setting it up, I did a few practice stitches and I had the same exact problem other reviewers did. The bobbin thread was jamming with a ton of thread almost immediately every time I started. After re-inserting the bobbin several times, I realized I was inserting it wrong and that you have to put the little lever facing up so it locks into place where it sits. I will say the manual doesn't do a great job with that explanation. After that, no more jamming. Then I had another problem with the bobbin thread stitching very loose and clumpy. I tinkered around and realized the bobbin thread wasn't threaded correctly in the bobbin case. Again, the picture wasn't great, but I figured it out. Both problems were EXACTLY the same as what other reviewers said, but BOTH were user error and once I corrected the problems, the machine runs beautifully and the stitches are perfect. see less

I just got this machine two weeks ago, I did some small projects and it worked great. I did not experienced, yet, any of the problems people have been reporting in the bad reviews. If you have never used a sewing machine before, take your time to read the manual or ask for help. If you don't ajust the threads and the tension correctly it will not work well. I recomend this machine if you are going to use it for small projects. see less

I bought this machine over a year ago, and have used it quite a few times. I have not had ANY of the issues other reviewers have described. I actually just finished making my daughter a fleece jacket and hat, and the machine worked wonderfully! I highly recommend this machine, especially for someone who is just starting out, as it is easy to use and quite affordable. see less

After searching for long time for a machine for a beginner level, I decided to buy this. It is very convenient & easy.Instructions are very easy to follow. I had no problems threading it although I have never used a sewing machine before. see less

I recently tried a search for good machine and after spending sometime I found that this is the best sewing machine I could go for. I ordered it from Target because it is the only best option for me [...] and I am using this and truly happy with Target service :) see less

This machine arrived on time and was a breeze to set up and start working on. It will be the perfect machine for simple projects and repairs. I recommend it to anyone who does light sewing and wants a simplified machine. It has different stitches, buttonholer and zipper on it. What more do you need? see less

i absolutely love my brand new singer serger! i'll never regret purchasing it, plus the serger is really easy to use. Shipping was quick and my serger was safe unlike other stores who send out mistreated items. I am glad i bought it here at target, my shipping turned out [...] and i had no problems at all!i recommend everyone to buy one, they come in handy! see less

I bought this sewing machine last year--I know how to sew basic things. This machine was easy to sew right from the box, I was sewing small projects in no time. I've not had any of the problems some of these other reviewers have talked about. I thought it would be harder because it was a computerized but so far have not had any problems at all. I like mine and I'm glad I didn't read the negative reviews. Read the directions and watch the dvd that comes with this sewing machine. When you get that error message, just turn it off and turn it back on. It is different than a manual machine, but I don't regret buying this particular singer sewing model. Works great!! see less

This is from a beginner... I bought this a few months ago & I had no idea how to sew. I didn't even know how to thread a machine but I figured this out pretty easy & it's been great so far. I have sewn with really thick material & it's been operating great. I even let two people borrow it -seasoned sewers- & they both told me that they love this machine so I must have picked a good one. Easy to use & no problems at all. see less

I recently purchased this sewing machine and am so far very pleased with it. I do sew quite often, and took to this with ease. I did not experience any of the issues that I read from the reviews, but I am sure everyone's experience with this will be different based on the level of experience and care in usage, etc. This is obviously not an industrial strength sewing machine, but in my opinion lives up to my standards for what I need it for - mostly for making my little ones dresses. I would recommend this, even for a beginner starting out, there are a lot of fun stitches and the instruction manual is pretty straight forward. see less

i just started sewing and i love it. i gave it a 4 instead of 5 because it is a little difficult to raise and lower the height and it sometimes slides down if you dont tighten it really tight. i thought the mannequin would be the same size as i am and its is slightly bigger in width in some areas and xs would have been perfect, but the fact i can change the size in lots of areas it gives me options o make clothes for my friends. the price it very very reasonable. for the price it is soo worth it. good product. see less

Easy to use - Love it!

I use this sewing machine ... see more

I use this sewing machine for everything from making clothing, making sturdy wallets and clutches, quilts, and almost anything in between. It's perfect! The extended table makes it so easy for larger projects and the fact that you can take off a section of the table to make sewing things like sleeves and pants a breeze! The decorative embellishments are also amazing. There have been a few reviews stating that you need to take it into a shop to be oiled... but the fact is that it shouldn't even need oiling. If it does then it comes with a little brush and oil just in case, even then the bobbin area comes apart very easily with no tools needed so self maintenance is a breeze, again when necessary which I don't foresee having to do any maintenance aside from checking it anytime my family and I move. I've had this machine for a few months and let me tell you that it's worth every penny. see less

I purchased this for Singer 4411 heavy duty machine at local Target store. At first I thought it does not fit, but after moving the closing grooves left and right it closed nice. It also fits my older Singer 2732 machine. The metal clasps inner prongs were loose and sharp. I hammered inner prongs so they do not stick out, and case was sturdy then. Online dimensions are off. I measured OUTSIDE dimensions. 14.75in H with handle, 13.125in H without handle, 19.5in L, 10.625in W. INSIDE dimensions are approximately 17 to 17.5in L, 8.5 to 9in W. First dimension is perfect fit second is stretching it to the limit. The inner height I am guessing. There is concave depression under the handle that from the outside is 0.75in deep which would make case about 12in H in the middle, but the sides are higher. Corners are little less than 12.125in H with highest spot of 12.5in H, which would accommodate for that bobbin winder and spool pin. Case itself is very sturdy. I would recommend this product. see less

I bought the Brother XR 7700 and I love it but it only comes with a hard cover. I really needed a full case for it and this one is perfect. It is attractive and it fits my machine. I have to place my machine and case inside so that my machine doesn't slide around inside. see less

I was skeptical because of reading the mixed reviews, and the low price, but I must say that right out of the box, this little dynamo was ready to work. Purchased at my local Target, it came threaded, with the bobbin loaded, and two extra loaded bobbins. I have sewn in the past with an extremely HEAVY, expensive Singer machine, so I was acquainted with some of the excentricities, needles than can come unthreaded easily and thread tension that can drive you to drink. Some advice, 1. Read the booklet BEFORE taking the QuickFix out of the box. 2. Use the machine gently. 3. Use the control wheel to gently advance the bobbin and needle threads before cutting, leaving at least 7 inches coming out of the needle and bobbin threads. Do everything with gentleness in mind. Remember, this is a FOUR pound sewing machine. In two hours I was able to make 7 pillows for my patio furniture,using a smooth, light weight cotton fabric. see less

I bought this to fix a few things that required too much sewing for me to do by hand. I haven't used a sewing machine since high school and this was an easy way to jump back into using it. I used it to easily repair the trim that had come off a fleece blanket and then used it to make almost 20 fleece headbands for my daughter's soccer team. No problems or issues. I am surprised by all the negative reviews. see less

I had NEVER used a sewing machine in my life prior to purchasing this item, with every pair costing $7 in my area I was willing to give sewing a shot. Granted it took a first timer a couple of hours to get some 3 pairs done, the machine worked great and overall my hemming didn't look that bad.The manual is somewhat sparse, but in this day and age of You Tube videos I was able to get supplemental info to get things running smoothly. see less

overall I think this is a pretty good machine. once you get to sit down with it for a few hours it's quite simple and easy to use. but! this is my first owned machine in years, so learning everything all over again was a little confusing, but I managed everything easily. !!READ THE MANUAL!! that aside, I LOVE IT. I feel like the speed dial isn't that sensitive because it easily jerks up in speed despite me being as gentle/slow as possible. good stitches, easy removal and swapping of feet, etc. I think the monogram function is actually a pretty nice touch. now if only it were usb compatible! see less

Never sewed a day in my life but received this machine a week before my first sewing class. Literally took it out of the box at the class and was taught how to use it from a certified sewing instructor. Was sewing fine until I used the reverse stitch then something happened to to bobbin holder and the whole thing shifted to where the needle wouldn't even go down. Don't know if something broke [...] see less

I love sewing and sew alot, modifying and making clothes all the time. I've gone six months without a good machine and I've bought and returned four in that time. I've tested out every aspect of this machine over the last week and can say it is very worth the money. Janome is a highly recommended name on most sewing sites, but this is my first Janome. I love it and won't trade out for anything. The bonus to a vertical bobbin is it's capable of being adjusted while horizontal or drop in bobbins cannot be tension controled. This is a sturdy machine with a confident stitch even on stretchy fabrics. I highly recommend it. see less

It's so cute! It just arrived this week, so I have not used it yet. I spot checked it for any problems/damages, and it's in perfect condition. I think I'm going to love sewing now! It looks easy to use. I hope I see HK cookware and and kitchen utensils too. see less

DO NOT BUY!!!! see less

I just bought this product today and i will return it tomorrow. I read all of the directions before i tried to use it, familiarized myself with the product, it's parts and how to use it before i even put the batteries in. After that i tried to use it and would not stitch at all, the thread was not at all threading through the fabric. At that point i figured i must have done something wrong. after three hours of looking at forums and videos on-line to figure out what i have been doing wrong i still got nowhere, the product simply does not work. I have yet to get the product to make a stitch in fabric. I hate it. I hate that i didn't just hand stitch what i needed in the first place instead of trying to use this product because i thought it would be easier. Horrible decision. I have wasted my day with this product. DO NOT BUY! see less
