Loving my new super-smooth, simple, and solid Singer buddy!
My mum used to work for Singer sewing machines so I kinda grew up with the brand. This is the first machine I've owned in years (previously I begged, borrowed... ) and I'm glad to say they're still making 'em good! The (very reasonable) money you spend on this machine goes on build-quality, power, and ease of use. There are no frills but it's tough! A metal frame lurks under its plastic casing and that gives it weight and solidity.
I'm really pleased with this machine, and the vendor's/Ebay's service, so it gets five stars. One caveat though... the "automatic needle threader..." what's that all about!? It's an extra gadget so don't worry, but could I get it to work? Nah! The instructions were... enigmatic, so I shall trundle off to YouTube to see if some helpful soul has cracked the secret sequence...
In summary, I love this sewing machine; he's already my little buddy and when I've finished making props and costumes for the play I'm working on, no unstitched piece of fabric will be safe....
