Too bad Amazon doesn't have negative ratings, because one star is WAY too high for this horror of a machine. It's a bad design [wait till you see what you have to do to thread the needle] and is finished off by bad engineering. I bought it because I, an experienced sewer, wanted an auxilliary machine to take along when so I could leave behind the big PERFECTLY OPERATING 1960's Singer given to me by my mother, when she quit sewing for my daughters.
I'd heard bad things about performance of the new Singers, which isn't surprising as the company got sold, manufactury was outsourced to China and god only knows who designed the dreadful thing. But I didn't dream it would be THIS bad.
My biggest complaint is that it's so tetchy. It's almost impossible to vary anything without having it go on strike. It wants to be on automatic, and it wants the trhead length and tension set just so. It doesn't like it when I vary the top tension to make the bobbin thread tighter so I can baste or gather. If the thread or fabric gets bollixed up in the bobbin compartment you have to have a screwdriver to remove the needle plate and bobbin case. Neither of the above problems is addressed in its completely inadequate guide, which gives, in three languages, only the sketchiest of instructions and doesn't in any way address the real-world problems of people who sew. And to think I only wanted it so I could make automatic buttonholes.
The old Singer, a 401, is the last Singer all metal machine. It's easy to use, easy to clean when the thread or fabric gets balled up in the bobbin compartment, easy to manipulate, flexible and forgiving. The bobbin case and the needle plate come out easily so one can get into the bobbin compartment. The guide is a delight. If you can find a 401, buy it immediately. It's a workhorse, and unlike modern electronic machines that are as trustworthy as the old 401, is not likely to cost you upwards of $2000.
