Customer Reviews
- Been using for 4 months now, no problems
I wait awhile before deciding to write a review for this item because I wanted to see how the machine would perform. I'm not an expert sewer and I mostly do light sewing, a lot of hemming and alterations and items for around the house. I've made a couple of garments on this machine as well. I haven't had any trouble with it at all. It's easy to use and it was an easy transition for me to this machine from my old one. I've used it on various fabrics, from denim to lace and I think it was worth the money we spent on it. I wasn't totally surprised that a lot of the parts are now plastic. At least I can lift it! I remember how heavy my mother's old machine was. The machine provides a great service to me however, so I don't mind the plastic components. I did buy new bobbins though. Plastic bobbins, I don't particularly like. I also don't use the threader bec I just never got into that habit. I love that it can make different decorative stitches too and I've only started playing with those. So far, I don't regret having bought this machine at all.

- Great Machine
I purchased this machine about 5 months ago and love it. It does whatever I put before it with no issues. I have made lined velvet drapes as well as silk ones that were lined and interlined. It never skips a beat. The Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine is heavy unlike many of the new ones.

-  User friendly and versatile! Perfect choice for beginner or intermediate!
This machine is very user friendly. I am a beginner and have been using this machine constantly since I got it 5 months ago. I have had no problems. It works well on all the light and medium weight fabrics I have tried (cotton to canvas to thick denim...and quite a few layers of each). I've even used it to do simple machine quilting. The Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine makes setup super quick.The manual is clear and helpful. It takes some time to figure out how to adjust the length of width of the stitches, but it does provide you with a lot of different options. For the money, I think this is a great machine!
