Customer Review Singer 3116 Simple Sewing Machine
- Extremely Poor Design. No help from Singer Customer Svc
The reason I gave the Singer 3116 Simple Sewing Machine 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.  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 Singer 3116 Simple Sewing Machine 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.

Customer Reviews
- I like the Curvy,
I had seen a Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine at a store and thought it was what I wanted, so I checked on line and found a fair price so I ordered it. 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.

- Singer Curvy Sewing Machine
I purchased my Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine 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!

- Smart Threading is a smart idea for seniors
We purchased this Singer 8763 Curvy Electronic Sewing Machine for our 86 year old quilting mother. She loves it and can work more independently. This is a dream for her. We combined this with other vision aids and it seems to be working like a charm.

Customer Reviews
- Nice machine,
This is my second machine and I bought Singer Commercial Grade Sewing Machine  because it seemed heavier duty than most in the price range. While the criticism about plastic parts is fair, the body is solid metal and heavy and the motor is extremely powerful. 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. So far, all of the generic low shank feet I've bought have worked with it.

Customer Reviews
- New to Machine Embroidery
I purchased this machine because I wanted to learn to do machine embroidery and didn't want to spend a fortune. I think Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine 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.

- My first time ever on a sewing machine. So wonderful and simple
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 Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine 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.

- Best Embroidery Machine
I purchased my Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine 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.

Customer Reviews
- Very Satisfied Consumer!
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 THIS Singer Confidence 7470 Sewing 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.

- Great machine for the price!!
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 Singer 7470 Computerized Sewing Machine 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.
