Singer 7470 Confidence Electronic Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this machine for about a month. I have made a quilt, 4 shirts, and 3 sets of curtains with it. I am a sewing novice. I spent some time on my mother's machine as a kid, it was unfortunate as it broke a lot, and now I'm really learning how to do it through quilting and sewing classes.
Pros:
Auto tension! I love it. It works every time.
Drop in bobbin! I will never go back.
Easy to select stitches. (however,do read the manual before doing
twin needle work!)
Lots of choices for embellishing items with embroidery.
So far, no issues and I've sewn heavy and light fabrics.
Cons:
The autothreader takes more work than doing it myself.
You will need another light source if you like to sew at night.
I don't like that to reverse stitch I have to hold the button at
the same time I guide my fabric. Couldn't they just let me press
the button, then press the button again when I'm done with
reverse? (That's not novice friendly!)
A bit heavy to carry. I'm tough, but carrying it for more than a
short walk will get to you. Get a rollerboard carrier and skip
the plastic case.

Combining advanced technology with an array of user-friendly features, this electronic sewing machine will be appreciated by experienced and novice sewers alike. The unit's exclusive Drop & Sew bobbin system places the bobbin thread exactly where it's needed, while its built-in needle threader makes quick work of threading the eye of the needle--no more wetting the tip and squinting through multiple attempts. For anything from construction or making repairs to hemming or embellishing a project, the machine provides 173 built-in stitches, including six styles of one-step buttonholes, one indefinite buttonhole, 30 mirror images, three spacers, a hand-look quilt stitch, and a block-style alphabet with numbers, symbols, and upper- and lower-case letters. The built-in stitches come optimally set for length and width, but they can be elongated (stretched), mirror imaged (reversed), and edited for enhanced stitch variation.
For added convenience, the sewing machine provides 13 needle positions, a simple push-button control panel, six frequent-use buttons, a continuous-design sewing option, and automatic tension. Other highlights include temporary memory for saving up to 20 characters or patterns; twin-needle mode that warns against unsafe stitch settings when using a twin needle; a long-lasting LCD screen that shows stitch selection and settings, plus provides audible and visual warning messages; a StayBright long-lasting LED light that illuminates the working area; and a free arm with accessory storage. An array of accessories come included: needles, bobbins, a buttonhole opener/brush, a screwdriver, three spool caps (large, small, and mini), an auxiliary spool pin, and a dust cover, as well as five snap-on presser feet, which include a general-purpose foot, a zipper foot, a special-purpose foot for decorative sewing, a one-step buttonhole foot, and a blind-stitch hem foot. The electronic sewing machine measures approximately 17-1/5 by 8 by 12-1/2 inches and carries a 25-year limited warranty.
