Review by Gail
Very happy with the prompt ordering/delivery service. I have had a few problems when threading the machine, the instruction book diagrams could be better (larger diagrams for people with not so good sight). Have never used an overlocker before so have booked onto a local 1 day workshop on how to use and get the best from your machine.

My daughter is 11 and is already getting on well with this machine. We had to read the instructions carefully together to get ourselves started, and found the bobbin the most difficult part to figure out, but we are beginners. After 2.5 hours we were sewing our first line! After 1 full day, we have 3 bobbins threaded, have made scrunchies and a cushion and she is feeling quite confident already! We love it! I am going to buy more bobbins as this girl wants to sew every colour under the sun! She is getting ready for a school Christmas market!

Review by NicolaM
I originally bought this through Amazon and was very upset that it was the American version so I had to send it back. I had phoned Singer and they were really helpful and gave me the phone number of a chap who demonstrates them and could sell me a UK version. Sadly I had to pay out an additional £150 but it was worth it. I love the fact that it has speed control. My only grip is the measurements on the metal plate are hard to see and I have to get my ruler out. They do not match up to the ruler on the front of the machine. I have only had this for a few weeks and already I have made several projects. I can make household items easily but I am having a go at dressmaking for the first time and enjoying it very much. Great machine for someone who likes to take it slow.

Like any new sewing machine, you will need to set aside a few hours to start with just to get used to it. During this time I got the hang of the needle threader and bobbin feed. I had a couple of items of clothing to alter. The first went like a dream, the machine seemed to do all of the work. The next one was a really fine polyester elastane, which seemed trickier despite trying out lots of different types of needles and stitches. I am generally happy with this purchase and particularly at the price and delivery offered by Singer Machines Ltd., so much cheaper than High Street prices. I bought this machine because of its ability to sew heavier fabrics, which I have not yet done. It is early days for me, hence only four stars at the moment.

Excellent machine although could be improved with a simple addition of a needle threader! Speed is good though!

Excellent product and excellent service, my only concern is the lack of protection. I am going to look for a plastic container to put it in to protect it. It may be a good move on your part to source such a container and then offer it as an additional purchase.

Review by Janet
I have purchased this machine as I want one that can handle home furnishings as well as standard dressmaking. So basic and reliable are the qualities I was looking for. It stitches beautifully and is very user friendly. I purchased some canvas online for particular project which turned out to be heavier and stiffer than I was expecting. Nevertheless the machine has coped with it well. It did arrive with just one spare needle which I would have to say seems a little unnecessarily mean but all in all I am delighted with this simple sturdy machine which is already proving to be the workhorse I had hoped it would be.

Review by Clara Fernandez Pakter
I wanted to wait a couple of days after I had used the sewing machine. I'm thrilled. Haven't stopped since I received it. I must say I'm a beginner and all I remember was learning to sew with my grandma with an old singer model. Every detail of this model is great. Simple and easy. I have sat down with all the videos and practiced. I am really happy and recommend it to anyone who likes to sew. Any level. I have also purchased different presser feet to try new things. It's lovely. Thanks Clara
