No help from Singer Customer Svc&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;The reason I gave the &lt;b&gt;Singer 3116 Simple Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;a one star was because there is no zero star. I bought a brand new one. Do not waste your time or your hard earned money. I would be embarassed to put my name on anything that hookie. Chinese made. The bobbin jammed over and over and over the first day I started to use it. Singer said, " it might be off timing ". It's brand new for crying out loud. The instruction video was superb. But that's where it ended. The product is really frustrating. &amp;nbsp;Let me tell you about the bobbin. It sits in a half moon shaped depression that you slide a " hook " into and then while holding that easily disgorged piece with one hand you have to slide the race over all that and then clip " dog ears " over each side to hold it in place. Then you take the bobbin and slide &lt;b&gt;Singer 3116 Simple Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;in to the center post. I can't think of anything more prone to failure than that design except perhaps just tossing those parts in there without even dog earring them. From the Singer Customer Svc CTR apparently this is not new to them. They said the electronic units do not have " this problem ". Hope this helps with your decision making. I wish I had seen this prior to buying mine.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-5287830534745658135?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/5287830534745658135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-3116-simple-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/5287830534745658135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/5287830534745658135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-3116-simple-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 3116 Simple Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rEtMYUyHI/AAAAAAAABD0/mopdCeAAgwk/s72-c/Singer+3116+Simple+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-6581143597079933960</id><published>2010-02-27T08:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-27T08:13:00.725-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rEWt_I7cI/AAAAAAAABDs/Ak9I-VT2HSg/s1600-h/Singer+8763+Curvy+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rEWt_I7cI/AAAAAAAABDs/Ak9I-VT2HSg/s320/Singer+8763+Curvy+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Get ahead of the curve with the &lt;b&gt;Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;.

I received it at the time specified, and have now tried it out and like it very much. There have been no problems with it, it is light enough to carry around, compared to my old machine that I needed help carrying, and it works better than my Singer Athena ever did. The auto threader works fine, and the bobbin reminder took two tries to figure out, but it is great. The DVD sent as instructions was a little lacking in detail, but I am happy with my new machine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Singer Curvy Sewing Machine&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I purchased my &lt;b&gt;Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; after taking sewing lessons learning on a Pfaff machine. After getting accustomed to some of the convenient and easy to use features on the Pfaff machines, I set out to find an equally convenient, easy to use AND affordable sewing machine. My research led me to the Curvy, and I have no regrets. I have completed many projects with this machine, all of which came out beautiful. Best of all, the machine is easy to use and has many convenient features. All in all, the Curvy has proven to be a great value to me and I will be enjoying it for a very long time!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Smart Threading is a smart idea for seniors&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;We purchased this &lt;b&gt;Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for our 86 year old quilting mother.

It's very easy to use, and the self adjusting tension is great, as I hate messing around with tension. the light could be brighter but overall I'm really happy with it.

I think &lt;b&gt;Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine &lt;/b&gt;is an excellent value. It seems very solid and sewed beautifully with no adjustments straight out of the box. There are sensors in the thread path that are very sensitive and incorrectly report broken thread quite often. As soon as I got the hang of flossing the thread into the sensors this became less of a problem. There are several yahoo groups dedicated to machine embroidery and the nice people there were of great assistance to me as I got started. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- My first time ever on a sewing machine. So wonderful and simple&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;When I bought this machine I had never used a sewing machine before in my life. I had never even sewn by hand. I really had no clue what I was doing. I just followed the directions on how to thread it and within a few days I had it figured out. The &lt;b&gt;Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine &lt;/b&gt;was a breeze. I have gotten the annoying "broken thread" error plenty myself but I have found that if you just change the way you thread it you can find a way it works flawlessly. When I get the error I move the spool onto the vertical spool holder and try guiding it through the thread guide and that will work. So yeah sometimes it takes a second to get it running perfectly but once the thread it fine the machine works great. I realize I have no basis of comparison but for someone who has never sewn before to figure it all out this fast I feel I can let you all know that it isn’t complicated or difficult to use at all. The software is great, my embroideries come out beautifully and I am so happy I bought it.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Best Embroidery Machine&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I purchased my &lt;b&gt;Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine &lt;/b&gt;two months ago, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I also purchased the hyperfine and photo-stitch software to enhance my embroidery experience. I am thrilled with the performance of my new machine. The workbook dvd and the machine manual are not as detailed as I would have liked for it to be, but the combination of both provide me with everything I need to perform all of the capabilities the Futura CE-250 has to offer.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-7165379431138108211?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7165379431138108211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-futura-ce-250-embroidery-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7165379431138108211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7165379431138108211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-futura-ce-250-embroidery-machine.html' title='Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rC5x87r1I/AAAAAAAABDU/OAKh_h0kvvw/s72-c/Singer+Futura+Ce+250+Embroidery+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-6227204869402804685</id><published>2010-02-23T08:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-23T08:04:00.524-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Esteem Ii Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer Esteem Ii Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rCZzSwfRI/AAAAAAAABDM/ud6fdWgRaus/s1600-h/Singer+Esteem+Ii+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rCZzSwfRI/AAAAAAAABDM/ud6fdWgRaus/s320/Singer+Esteem+Ii+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Singer Esteem Ii Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;packs a punch.

It was a great tool in teaching me basic threading and sewing technique, but I quickly outgrew it! The "simple" became not so simple when it came to bobbin thread and performance. It was a nightmare to continually have to re-thread the bobbin. That, along with various other factors, led to the search for an upgraded sewing machine. At first I was intimidated by the "electronic" features of the newer models, although now I am not sure why that is so. I LOVE THIS &lt;b&gt;Singer Confidence 7470 Sewing Machine. &lt;/b&gt;I have yet to really play around with it, but the basics of just threading and straight stitching have proven to be far superior to the "simple" model when it comes to ease of use and performance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Great machine for the price!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;This is my 1st brand new machine. I had always rec'd hand-me-downs before and they were never good machines to begin with. I would rate myself as a decent sewer. I recently got into quilting. This &lt;b&gt;Singer 7470 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; you will give you nice stitches, you don't have to worry about your project falling apart. I think this machine would be good for anyone, even if they were new to sewing. The manual is super easy and so is winding the bobbin and threading the machine. I did a lot of research and for the features, this was the best quality for the price. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-4408431468824344904?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4408431468824344904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7470-computerized-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4408431468824344904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4408431468824344904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7470-computerized-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 7470 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rB6X5GGyI/AAAAAAAABDE/9p0PM-7odKg/s72-c/Singer+7470+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-4100381941291840463</id><published>2010-02-21T08:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-21T08:00:00.817-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507'/><title type='text'>Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rBcImYvnI/AAAAAAAABC8/242hnbtXSy0/s1600-h/Singer+Sewing+Machine+Model+1507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rBcImYvnI/AAAAAAAABC8/242hnbtXSy0/s320/Singer+Sewing+Machine+Model+1507.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507 &lt;/b&gt;is a 8 stitch machine.

The machine features a 4-step buttonhole; 2 needle positions to help get your stitching in just the right spot; an easy bobbin winder; a free arm for sewing those pant legs and sleeves; horizontal threading for smoother stitching; and adjustable presser foot pressure (useful for heavier fabrics). With the machine comes an instruction manual (in English, French, and Spanish) to show you how to get the most from your machine. &lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507&lt;/b&gt; also a canvas cover included and a compartment for storing the accessories which include: a pack of needles, 4 bobbins, standard presser foot, buttonhole foot, button sewing foot, zipper foot, small bottle of oil, feed dog cover, 2 spool caps, stitching guide, screwdriver, and a seam ripper/lint brush. &lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt;"&gt;Click here to check best price for Singer Sewing Machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Features&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Easy-to-use 7-stitch machine for basic mending and sewing&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;4-step buttonholer; 3 needle positions; simple bobbin winder; horizontal threading&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Free arm; adjustable pressure and stitch length; snap-on presser feet&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Carry handle; built-in storage; includes canvas cover, manual, and several accessories&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Measures 15 by 8 by 12 inches; 25-year limited warranty&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Really love it and so glad I got it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I just got &lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507&lt;/b&gt; today. The manual is super easy to understand. I'd never threaded a machine on my own before, but there is even a numbered guide right on the machine to tell you where the top thread goes. The guide on the machine plus the very simple instructions in the manual made threading the thing a breeze. &amp;nbsp;With the foot pedal, it's fairly easy to control the speed. I've read some reviews on similar machines (a Brother one, in particular, that I was also looking at) with complaints of it going from 0 to 100 with nothing in between. Not so with this one. &lt;br /&gt;It's really quiet. &lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507 &lt;/b&gt;is a little awkward having the top spool horizontal, but it works. It's a little heavier than I expected, but that makes it more sturdy. It has a little storage compartment that's really convenient and a nice way to keep everything in one place. It has a little lever for reverse sewing, which I really like. Comes with a neat little cover that has a slot at the top for the carrying handle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Serviceable, useful sewing machine&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507 &lt;/b&gt;is a good all-purpose, low-cost household machine, although as a long-time Singer fan and former Singer sewing machine dealer, I don't care for the vertical bobbin design. It is compact and comes with its own sturdy, attractive cover that allows you to carry the machine by its handle, so don't bother ordering a hard-shell case for it. The free-arm and accessory compartment designs are carefully thought out.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-4100381941291840463?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4100381941291840463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-sewing-machine-model-1507.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4100381941291840463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4100381941291840463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-sewing-machine-model-1507.html' title='Singer Sewing Machine Model 1507'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rBcImYvnI/AAAAAAAABC8/242hnbtXSy0/s72-c/Singer+Sewing+Machine+Model+1507.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-4678669113599375685</id><published>2010-02-20T07:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-20T07:58:00.345-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rA8OkoYSI/AAAAAAAABC0/tVpIW4RxBFQ/s1600-h/Singer+7463+Confidence+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3rA8OkoYSI/AAAAAAAABC0/tVpIW4RxBFQ/s320/Singer+7463+Confidence+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;versatile sewing machine makes it easy to sew with confidence.

Drop &amp;amp; Sew™ Bobbin System quickly places the bobbin thread exactly where you need it.

Each stitch has a 1-touch selector button and its optimal settings pre-programmed but you can adjust the settings as you need whenever you want. 13 Needle positions, and a free arm with accessory storage that includes 5 snap-on presser feet are all also featured on &lt;b&gt;Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt;"&gt;Click here to check best price for Singer Sewing Machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product Features&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Sewing machine with push-button selections for 30 pre-programmed yet adjustable stitches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Drop &amp;amp; Sew system; needle threader, 13 needle positions; automatic tension; 2 1-step buttonholes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Free arm; Stay Bright LED light; heavy-duty metal frame; on-board accessory storage&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Include needles, bobbins, spool caps, a buttonhole opener, aux spool pin, dust cover, and presser feet&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Measures 17-1/5 by 8 by 12-1/2 inches; 25-year limited warranty&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Maybe for the occasional mending&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;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 &lt;b&gt;Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Poorly Manufactured&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;Ever since this &lt;b&gt;Singer 7463 Confidence Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;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.

I was leaning toward the Singer Featherweight, but this caught my eye because it was less expensive. I've put &lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 2662&lt;/b&gt; to the test with a few projects, and it has performed great. The only problem I noticed is that the feet occasionally come off if accidentally bumped. However, it is not that annoying, because it happens when I am not in the middle of stitching.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Just okay&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;So far this is just an 'okay' sewing machine; definitely NOT great!!! The straight and zig-zag stitches are fine....but the other stitches just won't work! I've tried all I know to get them to work but NO LUCK. &lt;br /&gt;Will have to take it to my local Singer shop to have them look at this. Which is very frustrating!! &lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, it's still under warranty!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Don't Recommend&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Singer Sewing Machine Model 2662&lt;/b&gt; worked fine for about 6-8 months but after that it just began to be one problem after another. The thread gets caught in the tensioned and begins to sew microscopic stitches and then quits. Wouldn't recommend.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-9136053048016338798?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/9136053048016338798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-sewing-machine-model-2662.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/9136053048016338798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/9136053048016338798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-sewing-machine-model-2662.html' title='Singer Sewing Machine Model 2662'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3q_--49aNI/AAAAAAAABCk/PLwGgloSbu8/s72-c/Singer+Sewing+Machine+Model+2662.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-7576039975312605280</id><published>2010-02-17T07:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T07:52:00.170-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3q_fCMe93I/AAAAAAAABCc/5EbzVidrbvg/s1600-h/Singer+6038+Mechanical+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3q_fCMe93I/AAAAAAAABCc/5EbzVidrbvg/s320/Singer+6038+Mechanical+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;offers just the right amount of bells and whistles to satisfy advanced sewers but not scare away novices.

It doesn't have a zillion and one different stitches or other bells and whistles, but it certainly has enough to meet the needs of somebody who is not an advanced seamstress, and yet it is still not an "entry-level" model. For what I was planning to do with this machine, I really didn't need all of the stitches and other bells and whistles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;As it turns out the Izek arrived quite quickly and after watching the video that arrived with it, I decided to return the Izek and keep the &lt;b&gt;Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;The video for the Izek demonstrated the laborious process of programming in the kind of stitch you wanted to make, every single time you wanted to change a stitch. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Great Machine&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I have been sewing when I was a child. I LOVE this machine!! &lt;b&gt;Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is the best I have ever used. I have had no problems whatsoever with it, and now even look forward to hemming and small fixit's. I use to avoid delicate or heavy fabrics with my other machines because the tension would always muck up. I've nard no trouble adjusting the tension (when needed) and the machine sews beautifully!! This is also a very quiet machine!! The needle threader is wonderful. Very easy to see and use stitch adjustment nobs and the included video is very helpful if you need more instruction than what is in the manual. However, Singer I suggest an instruction DVD for easier menu search. All in all, highly recommended. Totally don't get the negative reviews.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Easy to use and afforadable too!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing"&gt;I have been sewing on a Brother sewing machine for 13 years and decided I needed a new one. I'm so glad I got this one. It's metal construction makes it very durable, and the plastic outer shell makes it very attractive. I've been a stay-at-home mom for 14 years and supplement our income by making curtains and doing repairs, so I needed a new machine. This &lt;b&gt;Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is much faster than my old machine and has more power for sewing over those blue jean seams that are such a pain. I had no trouble with the needle threader or any of the other features and the video was very helpful in introducing me to my new machine. I am looking forward to making my daughters' Easter dresses on my new machine! I have to admit, some of the other reviews made me a little nervous, but I'm glad I bought this machine anyway. I think most of the complaints come from user error and impatience. I recommend this machine highly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-7576039975312605280?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7576039975312605280/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-6038-mechanical-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7576039975312605280'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7576039975312605280'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-6038-mechanical-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 6038 Mechanical Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S3q_fCMe93I/AAAAAAAABCc/5EbzVidrbvg/s72-c/Singer+6038+Mechanical+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-3467943650631022868</id><published>2010-02-14T05:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:50:41.642-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21yo9esc-I/AAAAAAAABA8/6Z2yhUFHxt4/s1600-h/Singer+Quantum+Xl+1000+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21yo9esc-I/AAAAAAAABA8/6Z2yhUFHxt4/s320/Singer+Quantum+Xl+1000+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, you will expand your creative sewing potential with unlimited computerized stitch patterns, a giant 6" x 10" hoop and multiple hoop program for 480 x 240mm designs, pattern rotation, mirror image and zoom features.

I used to work for a dealer and bought a Swedish Embroidery/Sewing machine. I really liked it until I sat down at the &lt;b&gt;Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. This machine is, BAR NONE, the absolute best machine I have used. It has a patented mock-hand sewing stitch that looks as pretty on the back as it does on the front. This stitch will sew out in five sizes.(other machines look ok on the front but not so nice on the back) It has Heirloom stitches that can't be duplicated. In the sewing function, a topstitch is available in 8 different choices of combinations. For basting things together, I was happy to discover 2 selections for my choosing, a longer or shorter stitch that doesn't lock, but holds together just until I pull it out(without having to cut any thread).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Recommend without hesitation for sewing and embroidery.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I love the &lt;b&gt;Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. I bought the machine after being initially discouraged about Singer, the XL-1000, and just about anything else you might imagine. I have a Viking D1, and I briefly had a Baby lock ESE, so I am somewhat familiar with different brands of sewing/embroidery machines. &amp;nbsp;The reason I love the &lt;b&gt;Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is because of the PERFECT stitch quality (regular sewing). This is my favorite machine to use for topstitching. The XL-1000 is pretty easy to use, although the manual is awful. The XL-1000 is always ready to go, and performs well. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-3467943650631022868?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3467943650631022868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-quantum-xl-1000-computerized.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/3467943650631022868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/3467943650631022868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-quantum-xl-1000-computerized.html' title='Singer Quantum Xl 1000 Computerized Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21yo9esc-I/AAAAAAAABA8/6Z2yhUFHxt4/s72-c/Singer+Quantum+Xl+1000+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-770207848769334015</id><published>2010-02-13T05:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:50:19.797-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Stitch Sew Quick Hand Held Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer Stitch Sew Quick Hand Held Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer Hand Held Sewing&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Machine&lt;/b&gt; includes: hand held sewing machine, 3 color bobbins, thread, spindle, replacement needles, needle threader, and instructions. &lt;i&gt;Singer Stitch Sew Quick Hand Held Sewing Machine&lt;/i&gt; is perfect for on-the-spot repairs.

Otherwise, it will loose. But your hand starts tired after 10 seconds anyway. Overall, you get what you paid for.

It does have a few things I don't like but overall I am glad that I purchased it.The embroidery designs sew out beautifully! And getting a machine that you can hook directly to your pc is definitely the way to go! It eliminates pricy design disks and cards. You can find lots of great designs on the web to purchase and download to use on this machine plus it accepts many formats. What I don't like about the embroidery aspect is the fact that the large hoop is not a true 5X7.So I have to resize a lot of my designs to fit the hoop. I really wish they offered a larger hoop as an extra accessory! The digitizing software that comes with the 200 is not that spectacular. You can take simple clipart pictures and turn them into embroidery but nothing too complex and the software doesn’t allow you to make appliqués. I think you can get better digitizing software elsewhere. It also only comes with 2 fonts: courier and block. You can purchase a disk with extra fonts but the disks for this machine are expensive! I think they run around $200.The sewing part of this machine I rarely use mostly because I have a Euro Pro sewing machine that I sew on and comparing the 2 I am all for the Euro Pro hands down. This machine seams to sew a little "rough" in comparison. Overall I think this is a Great starter embroidery machine at a good price.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Lots of fun&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is a great starter &lt;b&gt;Singer Quantum Futura Ce 200&lt;/b&gt;.. It will pretty much do anything you want...The sewing machine I can't tell you much about. I use it exclusively for the embroidery function. It only comes with the two fonts. If you are going to need script, you will have to find it and download it. It will take almost any format. I have been using it for nearly a year now and have had no problems. The instruction manual is awful It really doesn't tell you anything. You are left to your own devises as far as figuring out how to embroidery....Don't forget to drop the feed dogs when your in embroidery mode. A broken needle in that position can possibly make you have to have it serviced. timing jumps out...If you are just starting out be patient and just keep playing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-7903676773798906764?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7903676773798906764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-quantum-futura-ce-200.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7903676773798906764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7903676773798906764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-quantum-futura-ce-200.html' title='Singer Quantum Futura Ce 200'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21xA8JGL8I/AAAAAAAABAs/M3i-XrXHRAo/s72-c/Singer+Quantum+Futura+Ce+200.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-2183847734815435248</id><published>2010-02-11T05:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:49:56.013-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Ce 100 Futura Computerized Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer Ce 100 Futura Computerized Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21xK8u04MI/AAAAAAAABA0/BAUTVbKjeU8/s1600-h/Singer+Ce+100+Futura+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21xK8u04MI/AAAAAAAABA0/BAUTVbKjeU8/s320/Singer+Ce+100+Futura+Computerized+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Introducing the &lt;b&gt;Singer Ce 100 Futura Computerized Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, the newest break-through in sewing and embroidery technology!

I originally bought the &lt;b&gt;Singer 7470 Confidence Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. It was a great tool in teaching me basic threading and sewing technique; but I quickly outgrew it! The "simple" became not so simple when it came to bobbin thread and performance. It was a nightmare to continually have to re-thread the bobbin. That, along with various other factors, led to the search for an upgraded sewing machine. At first I was intimidated by the "electronic" features of the newer models, although now I am not sure why that is so. I LOVE THIS MACHINE! I have yet to really play around with it, but the basics of just threading and straight stitching have proven to be far superior to the "simple" model when it comes to ease of use and performance.&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great machine for the price!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is my 1st brand &lt;b&gt;Singer 7470 Confidence Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. I had always rec'd hand-me-downs before and they were never good machines to begin with. I would rate myself as a decent sewer. I recently got into quilting. &lt;b&gt;Singer 7470 Confidence Electronic Sewing Machine &lt;/b&gt;you will give you nice stiches, you don't have to worry about your project falling apart. (If you have ever had that happen you know how devasting it can be). I think this machine would be good for anyone, even if they were new to sewing. The manual is super easy and so is winding the bobbin and threading the machine. I did a lot of research and for the features, this was the best quality for the price. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-801099728863236871?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/801099728863236871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7470-confidence-electronic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/801099728863236871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/801099728863236871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7470-confidence-electronic.html' title='Singer 7470 Confidence Electronic Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21vxhhKgkI/AAAAAAAABAk/txZL-DJkDOQ/s72-c/Singer+7470+Confidence+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-4085046821614738814</id><published>2010-02-09T05:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:49:35.404-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 7466 Electronic Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer 7466 Electronic Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21u-yOc4DI/AAAAAAAABAc/l-7Mxs4Epek/s1600-h/Singer+7466+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21u-yOc4DI/AAAAAAAABAc/l-7Mxs4Epek/s320/Singer+7466+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Singer 7466 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a fully electronic sewing.

Sews beautifully, lots of great stitches, very easy to switch out the pressure foot. Only drawback I've found was the bobbin cover is easy to misplace. It pops off completely to put on a new bobbin. But I've just made of habit of putting it in the same spot when changing bobbins so I won't lose it. I really like the little cubby hole storage box on the front to store the extra feet. Very nice machine, and I'm very happy with it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;A Great Buy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I have owned this machine for 18 months now and still love it. All the features work, I love that I don't need to oil the machine. I do maintain the bobbin case, which I think is easy to take apart and put back. The &lt;b&gt;Singer 7466 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; have come a long way. I have sewn pocketbooks with many layers of fabric (purchased the upper feed foot which is a joy). I have sewn jersey weight fabrics too. I hope I don't jinx myself now, but for the money I think this machine is a great buy. I also hear some bad things about the Singer company, but I have to say that I was just about to write them a letter to complement them on their customer service. They already replaced my threader which I believe I destroyed myself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great machine for beginner!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;My husband bought me&lt;b&gt; Singer 7466 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for my birthday I had not touched a sewing machine in 15 years, and that was in highschool! I have been teaching myself ever since, the ease of this machine has been perfect, beautiful results.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-4085046821614738814?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4085046821614738814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7466-electronic-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4085046821614738814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4085046821614738814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7466-electronic-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 7466 Electronic Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21u-yOc4DI/AAAAAAAABAc/l-7Mxs4Epek/s72-c/Singer+7466+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-6162571084647515198</id><published>2010-02-08T05:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-08T05:25:00.189-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21ufKCSbWI/AAAAAAAABAM/AS1k9kR2hQ0/s1600-h/Juki+Tl+98Q+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21ufKCSbWI/AAAAAAAABAM/AS1k9kR2hQ0/s320/Juki+Tl+98Q+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a Single Needle, Lockstitch Machine for straight stitching and quilting is also perfect for tailoring, dressmaking and home decor items. The &lt;b&gt;Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; can be used as a table top machine, mounted into some cabinets or used on machine quilting frames. It is portable and has a built in carrying handle. Sewing area extension shown in picture is included with the machine. Features Two Types of Quilting Foot / Drop Feed Two typed of quilting feet are supplied as standard accessories with the machine. A 1/5 Quilting Foot is used for basic quilting and the Quilting Foot for precision sewing with 1/4" inch stitch width. The feed dog can be raised and lowered simply by depressing a switch. When quilting, the drop feed allows you to sew curved stitches with ease. Even Feed Foot With its reliable feed, the even feed foot ensures the machine's ability to produce beautiful seams when sewing difficult-to-feed fabrics such as georgette and velvet, as well as heavy weight materials such as leather. Automatic Thread Trimmer The machine is equipped with an automatic thread trimming device that simultaneously cuts the needle and bobbin threads at the sewing end by lightly pressing the push-button. It uses the thread trimming mechanism that is similar to the industrial sewing machine type. Foot Pedal Switch for Thread Trimming As with an industrial sewing machine, the thread trimmer can be activated with the foot pedal switch. It greatly increases sewing efficiency. Easy Bobbin Replacement A new bobbin case latch and an enlarged bobbin case area make it easier to remove and replace the bobbin. Automatic Needle Threader The push lever automatic needle threader easily threads the needle without eyestrain and allows you to start sewing quickly. Knee Lifter Lever The knee lifter lever allows you to lift / lower the presser foot without using your hands. Adjustment of Presser Foot Pressure Presser foot pressure can be adjusted according to the fabric being sewn by turni&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Features Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- 1,500 rpm maximum sewing speed for high-performance&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Presser foot presser is easily adjustable&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Automatic needle stop up/down button&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- A drop feed dog swith&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Hand lift raises foot to 9mm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Closest thing to an industrial machine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I bought &lt;b&gt;Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; a few years ago because I couldn't resist the idea of a faster home machine. I still have my Bernina, (25 years old) that sews beautifully, But I have to admit that I LOVE sewing on this machine. It is fast and the stitches are solid. It also has the same features that I love on my Bernina, which is the leg lift, and easy set up. The threading is smooth, and downright flawless. Honestly, the price is fantastic if you consider what you have to pay for an industrial machine, or even a brand new Bernina. I find that I can do 80% of my sewing using a single stitch. I have to switch back to my Bernina for button holes and maybe special darning projects (which I rarely use). I've worked on vinyl, polyester chiffon, denim and lots of cotton. Stitches are so clean, I would trust this machine for decorative top stitching. I didn't really "need" this additional machine, but now that I have it, I would never give it up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;- &lt;b&gt;I really love this machine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I really love &lt;b&gt;Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; I got it about three weeks ago and I was so pleasantly surprised by it's performance. Yes, it only does a straight stitch but it does a perfect, powerful, clean straight stitch unlike any machine I have used a side from an industrial Juki, which is just not practical in my apartment. I thought my old Singer was great (and it is, i must say) but this machine has not jammed once, it performs perfectly and I could not be happier with it!! I highly recommend this to anyone who sews a lot or who works in the fashion industry but just doesn't have room for an industrial at home!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-6162571084647515198?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/6162571084647515198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/juki-tl-98q-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/6162571084647515198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/6162571084647515198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/juki-tl-98q-sewing-machine.html' title='Juki Tl 98Q Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21ufKCSbWI/AAAAAAAABAM/AS1k9kR2hQ0/s72-c/Juki+Tl+98Q+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-4497930240965496123</id><published>2010-02-07T05:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:49:04.570-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21upFF_qpI/AAAAAAAABAU/owIC0m47MRg/s1600-h/Singer+8280+Mechanical+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21upFF_qpI/AAAAAAAABAU/owIC0m47MRg/s320/Singer+8280+Mechanical+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; cames With 30 stitch functions and a guide telling you all about them, this &lt;b&gt;Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is perfect for those just learni about the craft.

In general, I have hated sewing, but using this machine made sewing FUN. I am now looking forward to my next sewing project. Having not sewn anything other than repairs, for over 30 years, I found this little machine to be an excellent value. It can be TRICKY to thread and to load the bobbin but ONLY in as much as YOU MUST FOLLOW the clearly illustrated instructions. One thing I found helpful is that the TOP SPEED is not so fast that it is difficult to manage, yet it is fast enough! Some machines have such a fast speed that you can never put your foot all the way down on the pedal. This machine has a very good sensitivity and a manageable fast speed with my foot resting on pedal. Much more comfortable than having to control my foot! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Very good for the money&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;I was looking for a cheap but reliable machine on the internet, and was all settled on buying a Brother. Then one day I found a sewing store in my town, and the cheapest they had was this &lt;b&gt;Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. I came back home, and read the reviews, and decided to buy the machine, because the store would demonstrate it before I took it. As soon as we started sewing in the store, the thread all bunched up! But the lady was cool, said "it's not threaded right", and after re-threading, and showing me where the problem was (thread wasn't caught in the tensioning part), it worked like a charm. I've now done a set of curtains, without problems. In use, the &lt;b&gt;Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; feels strong, sturdy, well designed, and well calibrated. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-4497930240965496123?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4497930240965496123/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-8280-mechanical-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4497930240965496123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4497930240965496123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-8280-mechanical-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 8280 Mechanical Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S21upFF_qpI/AAAAAAAABAU/owIC0m47MRg/s72-c/Singer+8280+Mechanical+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-4847757326568914548</id><published>2010-02-05T20:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T20:08:28.785-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Long Arm Quilting Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Long Arm Quilting Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2zqgTViirI/AAAAAAAABAE/nP9ozOzrtGY/s1600-h/Long+Arm+Quilting+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2zqgTViirI/AAAAAAAABAE/nP9ozOzrtGY/s320/Long+Arm+Quilting+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Juki TL-98QE's &lt;b&gt;Long Arm Quilting Sewing &lt;/b&gt;Machine 1-needle Lockstitch Machine is great for Quilting and Home Decor.

I got this one to use on a quilting frame, and kept my beloved 1980s Pfaff for piecing, but if you need a nice little mid-arm, the Juki is an excellent choice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-4847757326568914548?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4847757326568914548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/long-arm-quilting-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4847757326568914548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4847757326568914548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/long-arm-quilting-sewing-machine.html' title='Long Arm Quilting Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2zqgTViirI/AAAAAAAABAE/nP9ozOzrtGY/s72-c/Long+Arm+Quilting+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-1254876042092731497</id><published>2010-02-05T06:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:48:46.359-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 7462 Electronic Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer 7462 Electronic Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2wreQ-ON3I/AAAAAAAAA_8/LXWkUD27_N8/s1600-h/Singer+7462+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2wreQ-ON3I/AAAAAAAAA_8/LXWkUD27_N8/s320/Singer+7462+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Create your own fashions.

Funny that at the time I could hardly find many negative reviews and the ones I did find were people who had a beef with Singer or a weird fluke that made their machine break. So I took the plunge. I'd had another Singer that lasted a good 10 years with sporadic use. I'm certainly no seamstress. This was more or less for easy projects and simple sewing. It was easy to get started on the machine. The buttons for the various stitches are great. The horizontal placement of the thread seemed like a great idea. The instruction book was clear. It is easy to perform maintenance on the machine as the screws are easily accessible. That's about where my joy ends and my complaints begin. could be better...lots better&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Breaks after a few months&lt;br /&gt;I've had this &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Singer 7462 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for about 7 months, and i've had tons of problems with birdnesting and the bobbin. the "auto-tension" feature is hardly automatic. the "auto" setting is only good for 2 layers of light- to moderate-weight fabrics. forget trying to sew boucle or more than 2 layers of denim with this machine. stick to broadcloth and thinner denims. of course, you can only sew these fabrics if the bobbin works. the bobbin cradle (where you lay the top-loading bobbin) broke yesterday afternoon, and now i've gotta buy a replacement. i was sewing two layers of boucle with mild thread, and the machine jammed. i thought, "well, that's normal for this machine," and went about un-jamming it. when i went back to sew, it did it again, something that hardly happens for another 10 minutes. after a disassembly of the bobbin area, i determined a piece on the bobbin cradle had broken off. "great," i thought, "now i need to buy a replacement cradle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Singer 7462 is a best buy!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the new or experienced sewer, this is a wonderful electronic machine with great features, but not a huge price. Better quality than the &lt;a href="http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7442-electronic-sewing-machine.html"&gt;Singer 7442&lt;/a&gt; pay the extra $20.00 for the Singer 7462 Electronic Sewing Machine and get a much better quality sewing machine. I still have my Singer 237 from the late 1960's, and I plan to keep the new &lt;b&gt;Singer 7462 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for 30 years--or until my eyes or body give out!!! Currently, the machine can be purchased on EBAY for $199.00 total with no shipping costs and no taxes through June 30. During June. .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-1254876042092731497?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/1254876042092731497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7462-electronic-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/1254876042092731497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/1254876042092731497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7462-electronic-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 7462 Electronic Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2wreQ-ON3I/AAAAAAAAA_8/LXWkUD27_N8/s72-c/Singer+7462+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-7708498043195224887</id><published>2010-02-05T06:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:48:24.041-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine'/><title type='text'>Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2woRaPQEeI/AAAAAAAAA_0/jh-8LE6MhWc/s1600-h/Singer+Model+7467+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2woRaPQEeI/AAAAAAAAA_0/jh-8LE6MhWc/s320/Singer+Model+7467+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;You will love to sewing with &lt;b&gt;Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. This machine has many electronic features to simplify your creative process. Drop &amp;amp; Sew™ Bobbin System quickly places the bobbin thread exactly where you need it. A built-in needle threader makes quick work of threading the eye of the needle. 70 stitch programs include 3 types of 1-step buttonholes, a Hand-look Quilt stitch, and lots of decorative and construction stitches. Each stitch has its optimal settings pre-programmed but you can adjust the settings as you need whenever you want. You also have an electronic twin needle control, drop feed, 13 needle positions, 6 of the most frequent stitches have a 1-touch selector button and a free arm with accessory storage that includes 5 snap-on presser feet are all also featured on this machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for Singer Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Drop &amp;amp; Sew Bobbin System is a top drop-in bobbin that, as you pull the thread toward the back of the machine along a threading path, it will hold the thread right where you need it - no more having to draw up the thread before starting to sew&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - A wide selection of stitches (70) to meet all your stitch needs: construction, hemming, decorative, quilting, heirloom, &amp;amp; 3 buttonholes&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Stitches are optimally set for length &amp;amp; width but you can adjust as needed&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Automatic needle threader simplifies threading the eye of the needle&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Twin needle control lets you know if you have selected a stitch or stitch setting that is unsafe when using a twin needle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great machine!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very happy with this machine. It has 66 stitch functions (search google for an image "list" of these, like I did), 3 buttonhole options, and a twin-needle option. I have used about 10 of the decorative stitches already, and I'm incredibly impressed with how well the machine handles them. &lt;a href="http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-model-7467-sewing-machine.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is quiet enough that I can have a conversation with my husband while he's 15 feet away, all without either of us raising our voices. It has a smooth feed and doesn't shake (like my last machine did, even in tip-top shape!). It is sleek-looking and it doesn't weigh much, so I can carry it without feeling as though my arm is going to break off. The reverse stitch is easy to use (the button is right by the needle, so you can hold it as you are feeding the fabric). Bobbins are simple to wind on this machine, and it even has a self-threading needle, but I prefer to thread by hand. I've had no problems here, it works beautifully, but I kind of think it's over-kill as I have no problems with threading my needle. However, I can see how this option may be very helpful to people with unsteady hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great machine!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It works great NOW. I purchased this machine last month and had similar issues with the straight stitching. I had changed the foot from the original one that was on it. I had never seen a closed foot like that before so I put on the one I was familiar with that came with the accessories. I tried everything to get the stitches right, including changing the machine's needle, increasing the tension, decreasing the tension, and rethreading the machine. When I was just about to give up and throw it out the window, I put the original foot back on. That did the trick! It works fine now, and I have used stitches I've never used before, like the scallop stitch to decoratively hem a sundress and the overcast seam stitch which looks professional! I have been sewing on Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine for 42 years and was very hesitant to purchase one of these "new fangled" computerized models. Lots of plastic, but lots of fun! I'm enjoying playing with all the stitches! I will never give up my 30 year old machine and since I started giving sewing lessons to my daughter and her friend, now they can sew together. I would definitely recommend this machine - great price for great quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Love it! Second machine.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sooo frustrated with my &lt;b&gt;Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; Simple constantly jamming and having bobbin issues I almost gave up sewing. After about a year of off and on, I bought this on a black Friday sale for $199 at JoAnn's. LOVE IT! Just drop in the bobbin. I've done several projects, including sewing apparel and quilting, and it has never, ever jammed.

Ideal for beginners, this easy-to-use machine works great for basic mending and sewing. If you are looking for a machine to do some basic mending and sewing, this could be the machine you need. The machine features a 4-step buttonhole; 2 needle positions to help get your stitching in just the right spot; an easy bobbin winder; a free arm for sewing those pant legs and sleeves; horizontal threading for smoother stitching; and adjustable presser foot pressure (useful for heavier fabrics).

The &lt;b&gt;Singer 1507 8 Stitch Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; also a canvas cover included and a compartment for storing the accessories which include: a pack of needles, 4 bobbins, standard presser foot, buttonhole foot, button sewing foot, zipper foot, small bottle of oil, feed dog cover, 2 spool caps, stitching guide, screwdriver, and a seam ripper/lint brush. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for Singer Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Easy-to-use 7-stitch machine for basic mending and sewing&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - 4-step buttonholer; 3 needle positions; simple bobbin winder; horizontal threading&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Free arm; adjustable pressure and stitch length; snap-on presser feet&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Carry handle; built-in storage; includes canvas cover, manual, and several accessories&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Measures 15 by 8 by 12 inches; 25-year limited warranty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Really love it and so glad I got it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've worked with those really old, big, and clunky sewing machines when I was about 8-13 years old under my mom's and grandmother's supervision. Now I'm 25, and recently decided I needed a sewing machine of my own. I don't have room for any big machine similar to what I was used to, so I thought a small portable one should do the job for me. The manual is super easy to understand. I'd never threaded a machine on my own before, but there is even a numbered guide right on the machine to tell you where the top thread goes. The guide on the machine plus the very simple instructions in the manual made threading the thing a breeze. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Serviceable, useful sewing machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a good &lt;b&gt;Singer 1507 8 Stitch Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, low-cost household machine, although as a long-time Singer fan and former &lt;a href="http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/"&gt;Singer sewing machine&lt;/a&gt; dealer, I don't care for the vertical bobbin design. It is compact and comes with it's own sturdy, attractive cover that allows you to carry the machine by its handle, so don't bother ordering a hard-shell case for it. The free-arm and accessory compartment designs are carefully thought out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-7226465657748996859?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/7226465657748996859/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-1507-8-stitch-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7226465657748996859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/7226465657748996859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-1507-8-stitch-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 1507 8 Stitch Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2mS8Tfb2MI/AAAAAAAAA_s/3yuO4AyXE5c/s72-c/Singer+1507.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-4631226284719870547</id><published>2010-02-02T07:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:47:03.376-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Model 7463'/><title type='text'>Singer Model 7463 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2hCMOpP11I/AAAAAAAAA_k/hnleeyY8dAU/s1600-h/Singer+Model+7463+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2hCMOpP11I/AAAAAAAAA_k/hnleeyY8dAU/s320/Singer+Model+7463+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;You will love the &lt;b&gt;Singer Model 7463 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;. This machine Loaded with user-friendly features, this versatile sewing machine makes it easy to sew with confidence. Choose from 30 stitch patterns, including two fully automatic one-step buttonholes, a hand-look quilt stitch, several decorative stitches, and a variety of construction stitches. Each stitch supplies a one-touch selector button and pre-programmed optimal settings for length and width that can be adjusted as desired. Even more, it comes with a Drop &amp;amp; Sew system with a top drop-in bobbin that holds the thread exactly where it's needed as users pull the thread toward the back of the machine along a threading path--no need to draw up the thread before beginning to sew like with other machines.. Drop &amp;amp; Sew™ Bobbin System quickly places the bobbin thread exactly where you need it. A built-in needle threader makes quick work of threading the eye of the needle. 30 stitch programs include 2 types of 1-step buttonholes, a Hand-look Quilt stitch, many decorative stitches, and construction stitches. Each stitch has a 1-touch selector button and its optimal settings pre-programmed but you can adjust the settings as you need whenever you want. 13 Needle positions, and a free arm with accessory storage that includes 5 snap-on presser feet are all also featured on this machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20" target="blank"&gt;Click here to check best price for &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20" target="blank"&gt;Singer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_4_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A12890711%2Cn%3A12899091%2Cn%3A12899461%2Cp_4%3ASinger+Sewing+Co.&amp;amp;bbn=12899461&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1265297009&amp;amp;rnid=15899471&amp;amp;tag=singersewingsale-20" target="blank"&gt; Sewing Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G2kglC-VFcw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G2kglC-VFcw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Sewing machine with push-button selections for 30 pre-programmed yet adjustable stitches&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Drop &amp;amp; Sew system; needle threader; 13 needle positions; automatic tension; 2 1-step buttonholes&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Free arm; StayBright LED light; heavy-duty metal frame; on-board accessory storage&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Include needles, bobbins, spool caps, a buttonhole opener, aux spool pin, dust cover, and presser feet&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - Measures 17-1/5 by 8 by 12-1/2 inches; 25-year limited warranty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- GREAT SEWING AT THIS PRICE&lt;br /&gt;This is a remarkable machine especially for this price. it's good to see that Singer is still innovating and making sewing machines that are affordable yet full of useful features. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to buy the hard case cover separately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Very Happy with my Singer 7463&lt;br /&gt;I am very happy with my &lt;a href="http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-model-7463-sewing-machine.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer Model 7463 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. After purchasing a computerized Brother machine that broke after 4 days, I bought the Singer 7463. I was replacing a Singer Fashionmate 362 that I had since I was a teenager. I wanted more stitch options. The Brother was so fragile that I soon realized that I would not be able to sew all that I wanted. The Singer has great stitch options, and it is very solid. I have been using a few times a week since I bought it just after Christmas. I love that it is solid, easy to thread, and the light is good. It did not come with a screw driver- and the one from my previous machine worked fine. But it must be small and short to work in this machine. I recommend purchasing it too- well worth it. The feet that comes with it are good for sewing and quilting. It is light weight- has a handle that is easy to use. My last machine I could not carry- this one would travel easily - and I look forward to taking to friends' houses. I sew on every fabric you can think of including paper. This machine will last me an easy 20-30 more years, easily. The only other machine I plan to add in the next 5 years is an embroidery/quilting machine, but I would still need a "basic" machine like the &lt;b&gt;Singer Model 7463 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;, that is so much more than what I replaced. I will have a hard time with anything that is not a Singer- they are such good machines.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-4631226284719870547?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/4631226284719870547/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-model-7463-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4631226284719870547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/4631226284719870547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-model-7463-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer Model 7463 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2hCMOpP11I/AAAAAAAAA_k/hnleeyY8dAU/s72-c/Singer+Model+7463+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-1931244118512746351</id><published>2010-02-02T07:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:46:29.528-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Ce 100'/><title type='text'>Singer Ce 100 Futura Sewing And Embroidery Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2g_blouX0I/AAAAAAAAA_c/GVOoVWyzFPE/s1600-h/Singer+Futura+CE-100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2g_blouX0I/AAAAAAAAA_c/GVOoVWyzFPE/s320/Singer+Futura+CE-100.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Singer Ce 100 Futura Sewing And Embroidery Machine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; can connects directly to your personal computer for embroidery capability.

I was tired of having to oil my old machine just to make it work. It was definitely time for a replacement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Love this machine, hate some of the software&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The machine has been great for the year I've had it. The software for embroidery sucks, but there is amazing support message boards that have been a reliable resource for issues.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-1931244118512746351?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/1931244118512746351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-ce-100-futura-sewing-and.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/1931244118512746351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/1931244118512746351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-ce-100-futura-sewing-and.html' title='Singer Ce 100 Futura Sewing And Embroidery Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2g_blouX0I/AAAAAAAAA_c/GVOoVWyzFPE/s72-c/Singer+Futura+CE-100.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-8902074357957046273</id><published>2010-02-01T08:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:46:20.797-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Futura Ce 150'/><title type='text'>Singer Futura Ce 150 Sewing And Embroidery Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b8GOmmxOI/AAAAAAAAA_U/YfNzblvwZAw/s1600-h/Singer+Futura+Ce+150+Sewing+And+Embroidery+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b8GOmmxOI/AAAAAAAAA_U/YfNzblvwZAw/s320/Singer+Futura+Ce+150+Sewing+And+Embroidery+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Singer Futura Ce 150 Sewing And Embroidery Machine&lt;/b&gt; is Ideal for both sewing and embroidery, this easy-to-use machine provides an array of convenient features. a fully electronic sewing machine and computer linked embroidery unit.

What firstly surprised me was this machine has to be connected to the computer or it will NOT embroider. All embroidery interacts with the computer. The first machine broke and Singer recommended it be replaced. The replacement machine did "so-so" embroidery as I was not impressed with the final product of embroidery. I found the placement of presser foot lever and working on the bed of the machine was extremely awkward. The hoop had to be screwed on and off. When I tried normal sewing, kept getting thread errors and found out through Singer the bobbin case was defective and should be replaced. This was the second machine. Was not interested in a third try. Defective machine was returned. The Singer was an immense source of frustration. Sewing should be a creative pleasurable experience and not a frustrating experience. Would I recommend this Singer? Only if you are extremely computer savvy, don't really need a tutorial, are used to awkward Singers, and not interested in a user-friendly machine. Bought the Brother 700II with the USB port and this embroidery machine has been an embroiderer's dream. The practice embroidery between the Singer and the Brother was like night and day. Give me a Brother any day of the week. I gave this machine a 2-star review as I was in a kind mood. And, by the way, I have been sewing for almost 50 years so am not new to sewing. Also, my husband was a computer programmer and his trying to "help" me figure things out with the Futura was a challenge to him too. The capabilities are there, just too bad trying to use them is so difficult and the machine is questionable as far as durability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Wonderful&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After spending weeks reading about all the different Embroidery machines out there I purchared the &lt;b&gt;Singer Futura Ce 150 Sewing And Embroidery Machine&lt;/b&gt;. Not being a person who sews everyday, I was unsure about something this new. After reading and looking at the CD that came with the unit, I was able to make a small flower. Not bad for someone who only fixed rips in clothes. After afew hours of playing around, I found the Futura, and the software easy to use.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-8902074357957046273?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/8902074357957046273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-futura-ce-150-sewing-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/8902074357957046273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/8902074357957046273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-futura-ce-150-sewing-and.html' title='Singer Futura Ce 150 Sewing And Embroidery Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b8GOmmxOI/AAAAAAAAA_U/YfNzblvwZAw/s72-c/Singer+Futura+Ce+150+Sewing+And+Embroidery+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-8366410678605676117</id><published>2010-02-01T07:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:46:13.037-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer Model 7470'/><title type='text'>Singer Confidence Model 7470 Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b4UorzqkI/AAAAAAAAA_M/7FG9bI2YLFk/s1600-h/Singer+7470+Confidence+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b4UorzqkI/AAAAAAAAA_M/7FG9bI2YLFk/s320/Singer+7470+Confidence+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This &lt;b&gt;Singer Confidence Model 7470 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; has so many electronic Combining advanced technology with an array of user-friendly to simplify your creative process.

I originally bought the Singer Simple model. It was a great tool in teaching me basic threading and sewing technique; but I quickly outgrew it! The "simple" became not so simple when it came to bobbin thread and performance. It was a nightmare to continually have to re-thread the bobbin. That, along with various other factors, led to the search for an upgraded sewing machine. At first I was intimidated by the "electronic" features of the newer models, although now I am not sure why that is so. I LOVE &lt;a href="http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-confidence-model-7470-sewing.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Singer Confidence Model 7470 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;! I have yet to really play around with it, but the basics of just threading and straight stitching have proven to be far superior to the "simple" model when it comes to ease of use and performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Great machine for the price!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my first brand new machine. I had always rec'd hand-me-downs before and they were never good machines to begin with. I would rate myself as a decent sewer. I recently got into quilting. This machine you will give you nice stiches, you don't have to worry about your project falling apart. (If you have ever had that happen you know how devasting it can be). I think this machine would be good for anyone, even if they were new to sewing. The manual is super easy and so is winding the bobbin and threading the machine. I did a lot of research and for the features, this was the best quality for the price. Good Luck to you and happy sewing! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;My Newest Friend&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband bought this &lt;b&gt;Singer Confidence Model 7470 Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; for me for our anniversary. I'm simply delighted every time I sit down to sew a project or do the humdrum, mending, primarily because of the variety of stitches available to meet my various needs. You see, I've had a bargain-priced Singer with only straight and zigzag stitches since 1972. Though to date I've only used three different stitches, this machine has lit the fire of creativity in me. Equally important are the cost of it, the ease of use and its many features. A woman who has sewn for 40 years, I never thought I could be so thrilled about a machine.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-8366410678605676117?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/8366410678605676117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-confidence-model-7470-sewing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/8366410678605676117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/8366410678605676117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-confidence-model-7470-sewing.html' title='Singer Confidence Model 7470 Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b4UorzqkI/AAAAAAAAA_M/7FG9bI2YLFk/s72-c/Singer+7470+Confidence+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096116696172815218.post-3720846687073002966</id><published>2010-02-01T07:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T07:45:31.080-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singer 7442'/><title type='text'>Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b0UHAVXII/AAAAAAAAA_E/jLrEqmUBv4c/s1600-h/Singer+7442+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b0UHAVXII/AAAAAAAAA_E/jLrEqmUBv4c/s320/Singer+7442+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; is a electronic sewing machine.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- Great Machine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is heavy unlike many of the new ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;nbsp; User friendly and versatile! Perfect choice for beginner or intermediate!&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;b&gt;Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine&lt;/b&gt; 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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6096116696172815218-3720846687073002966?l=singersewingreview.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/feeds/3720846687073002966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7442-electronic-sewing-machine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/3720846687073002966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6096116696172815218/posts/default/3720846687073002966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://singersewingreview.blogspot.com/2010/02/singer-7442-electronic-sewing-machine.html' title='Singer 7442 Electronic Sewing Machine'/><author><name>maxcoffee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03666871150412491190</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_r4CW65sw_gY/S2b0UHAVXII/AAAAAAAAA_E/jLrEqmUBv4c/s72-c/Singer+7442+Electronic+Sewing+Machine.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
