Review by The returning machinist from Rye, East Sussex.
Overall rating Great service with next day delivery. Purchased as replacement for 45 year old Singer. Very pleased with quality. Machine is easy to carry being not too weighty. Instructions fairly clear and once I had worked out how to use them, attachments easy to use and add/change. Good value for money. Would recommend to a friend.

Review by charitycrafter from Essex.
Overall rating I am a complete beginner and have already built so much confidence from the ease of use with this machine. The instructions are so easy to follow, the service upon getting this machine was second to none, I really went for it for its simple and easy to use aspect, but it keeps up with the rest in style and versatility. One very happy bunny!!!! (Posted on 5/2/13) view all, write a review.

Review by Leila from London.
Overall rating I only received this machine a few days ago so haven't actually made a garment yet, but have had fun playing with it. I'm really impressed - the fact that it's computer controlled makes all the embroidery stitches easy to sew and very neat. The results on my old machine were nowhere near as good. The auto tension and auto stitch length are brilliant as it will save me having to mess around trying to get the perfect result. The fact that you can adjust them if you need to is also really handy. For the price it's a wonderful machine - I really can't fault it. (Posted on 4/29/13) view all, write a review.

Review by seewhy from Nottingham.
Overall rating Thank you so much for my new Singer and for such a rapid delivery. Your choice of courier cannot be faulted either, they text to give choice of delivery day and then again to give a time.
I haven't used it yet but have no worries that it will be all it's supposed to be. Thank you again (Posted on 4/22/13) view all, write a review.

Review by joanne from East Yorkshire.
Overall rating What a quality machine. Easy to use and I love the bobbin thread system and needle threading facility. I have just returned to sewing and these features are new to me and a blessing. Fabulous range of stitches too. I bought this machine mainly for simple household sewing tasks but now there's no stopping me. As it is so simple to use I am now not only making home furnishings and clothes but have also taken up patchwork and quilting and the machine copes with the lot - it even came up with a graphic on the LCD when I forgot to push the buttonhole lever back up! Highly recommended machine for experienced and new sewists alike. (Posted on 4/20/13) view all, write a review.

Review by princesshog from bristol.
Overall rating I have owned a singer for many many years, it is very old and needed replacing. Due to this I haven't sewed for ages so this machine seemed perfect for my needs.
It was easy to get started except the foot fell out and i couldn't find anywhere in the book telling me how to put it back on, although I did manage in the end.
I had lots of mending to do so thought I would tackle that first, all was fine until sewing the seam of a pair of jeans when the needle then broke. Guessing I should have used a stronger needle! The machine is pretty quiet and runs smoothly. All in all I am happy with this machine and I am hoping with time and a little patience we may be great friends :) (Posted on 3/19/13) view all, write a review.

Review by LizzieAnn from Mirfield.
Overall rating Bought this machine for my daughters birthday in February. She is delighted with it. Looked at other small lightweight machines but reviews were not good and everyone seemed to rate this one highly. She found it easy to set up and she started off by taking up kitchen curtains and now she is doing all sorts of jobs including making a fancy dress outfit for her little boy. Very good buy +++++++ (Posted on 3/7/13) view all, write a review.

Review by Jennie63 from Hampshire.
Overall rating Excellent service ordered Saturday delivered on Tuesday, and free delivery. Machine great value for money, can't believe how many features it has, I wouldn't say I'm an experienced sewer mainly curtain, cushion and repairs and more recently quilting, yet I found the manual very easy and straight forward to follow. This machine has really made my singer 1012 model look like an antique, just hope it's going to be as reliable as my old machine never had a problem in the 24yrs, that was another reason why I went for another singer machine. Not sure why other people are saying machine is noisy in previous reviews mine purrs in comparison to my old machine. Possibly if there was a negative I would have to agree with what other reviews and that the cover is very flimsy in comparison to the sturdiness of the machine itself. All in all I am well pleased, perhaps I might even become a bit more adventurous with my sewing now I have all these new stitches and features at the push of a button. Perhaps I'll have a go at making a cover for the machine.
