" ... Easy to use, smooth stitching. ... Only given 4 stars because so far, I've only used straight stitching, which is what I do mostly, but for the price I couldn't not see buying this machine with it's wide range of stich patterns. ... "
" ... Singer is great about giving you all the feet, needles, bobbins, and they stole away in part of the removable arm. ... "
" ... The stitch selection is fantastic and the self threading needle is perfect. ... "
" ... I have enjoyed using this sewing machine, I have been making outfits for granddaughters, using knit materials. ... "
" ... Easy to use, not heavy duty enough, like when working on blue jeans ... "
" ... It is easy to use but also durable. ... "
" ... I have had this machine for over a month now and have sewn various types of fabric and used several different stitches. ... "

" ... She gets an error mssg but there’s nothing wrong with what it reads. ... "
" ... But I really had no real complaints about this machine until I got the E7 error the other day. ... I believe the error code has something to do with the bobbin. ... I did everything I know to fix the error. ... The new Singer lasted me less than 2 years! ... "
" ... Now I'm losing money on this broken machine. ... "
" ... It currently is unusable after very little use. ... "
" ... 1 YEAR WARANTEE! ... "
" ... Extremely disappointed this product did not last longer. ... "
" ... It’s obviously a defective part so they should have to pay for everything. ... "

" ... Furthermore, the thread jams up very easily on straight stitches . ... "
" ... It constantly jams, is difficult to thread the "automatic" threading needle, and the bobbin doesn't work properly. ... "
" ... Each time I had to remove pressure plate to access the tangled threads. ... The Brother wasn’t stitching properly and I thought it couldn’t be fixed. ... Well after this Singer broke, I searched again and found a YouTube video that showed me I needed to adjust the screw on the Brother bobbin case. ... "
" ... So, to try and freehand, you are fighting against your presser foot mashing against the fabric, and it’s twice as tight because your plate is now higher against it from the darning plate over the feed dogs! ... "
" ... The belt came off again due to hitting a pin. ... We tried to do it ourselves, and you have to remove every screw and nearly take the entire housing off to get to it. ... "
" ... The bobbin is constantly jamming and the timing went out. ... "
" ... The Bobbin keeps binding up. ... "

" ... But a really nice feature to have. ... "
" ... It’s got some great features like the needle down selector and the lock stitch for beginning and end of decorative stitches that would look wonky using the conventional reverse stitch, which it also has. ... "
" ... This machine really surprised my wife with its features. ... "
" ... I love the manual instant needle threading feature. ... "
" ... Gave a four star as I haven't had much time to use all features. ... "
" ... I have not found a need for the self sewing feature, but it works well and is a nice addition. ... "
" ... - many many stitch options ... "

" ... Got the machine and it was a couple of months before I used it for first time, immediately got a c4 error. ... I'm sure if it had worked it would have been great, but way too many people have reported this error for Singer to just ignore it. ... "
" ... She gets an error mssg but there’s nothing wrong with what it reads. ... "
" ... But I really had no real complaints about this machine until I got the E7 error the other day. ... I believe the error code has something to do with the bobbin. ... I did everything I know to fix the error. ... My machine continued to blink E7! ... "
" ... It sat unused for a few months and when we tried to start it back up to sew again it popped up with error code E5. ... Which is great, but the E5 Error code isn't in the manual. ... "
" ... I was very excited with this machine, i used for a month now have a error code like CC and dosent do nothing, i try to fix it and nothing. ... "
" ... Right out of the box, this was emitting an "E2" error code while trying to thread a bobbin. ... I searched all over Google for a solution and after trying everything, nothing worked. ... "
" ... My 3rd time using it and I can't get rid of the E4 code as soon as its on. ... Took it to Singer specialist and nothing is wrong just and Error that went go away! ... "
