Customer Reviews
- Maybe for the occasional mending
It lasted me until June, and I started having a lot of problems with it. It started making terrible noises, sounded awful, wouldn't sew straight, stitches were inconsistent, tension was messing up intermittently I had to stop using Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine for vacation, got back and it was worse than ever. I sent it in for service (it took 3 weeks) and they sent it back saying they had adjusted the tension and found nothing wrong. It worked quietly for about 10 minutes, and then started freaking out again. I took it back and they swapped it out for a new one . The new one started having problems with feeding the fabric and rattling by the second day. The pressure on the presser foot was off, and there was no way of adjusting it. No way to lower the feed dogs either. I ended up returning it for a refund.

- Poorly Manufactured
Ever since this Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine was brand new, it has made rattling sounds and jams to a halt, signaling a beeping alarm, especially when hemming denim. Even an experienced sewing lady at Jo-Ann's was surprised that it did not sew through certain parts of denim hems. Now, after two months of okay sewing, the part that rotates around the bobbin has gone so completely out of alignment with the rest of the machine that when the needle goes down it hits rock bottom, bends like crazy laterally, and breaks the needle. This particular machine had the same problems that maniac mentions in her review.
