Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this machine from a JoAnn store after having a horrible experience with a cheaper Singer model ("ProFinish" 14CG754). I already have a Brother 1034D, which I absolutely love, as well as a compact/cheap Kenmore model, but I wanted a machine that could do more (cover stitch, etc.). I've been using this machine almost daily for a month, and my observations are:
- Threading takes time but isn't difficult (especially with the tweezers and proper lighting).
- It hasn't broken any needles, skipped stitches, caught the fabric or otherwise misbehaved.
- The automatic tension settings seem to work well and you can manually adjust if needed.
- It is much more quiet than cheaper machines, and feels very sturdy/solid during operation.
- The PDF files on the included CD are numerous and not very easy to comprehend, but the included paper manual is well illustrated and thorough.
- The included set of tools and accessories is very thorough, also has just about every type of presser foot you could need for any project.
Thus far the only thing that disappointed me is that it has no free-arm capability -- which would make things like cuffs, hats and such easier; but that's not a huge problem. Also you must use serger needles, you can't use regular sewing machine needles (like the Brother 1034D).
If I run into problems or defects I will update this review, but so far I am pleased with this machine.
