Singer Confidence Quilter 7469Q Sewing Machine Review

I had never sewn anything before in my life, but I wanted to learn.This sewing machine came with a DVD to explain how to thread it.It was very easy to thread, wind the bobbin, and put the bobbin in.I do wish they had given me a bit more info on what each foot is for and what each one looks like.I guess they assumed that I'm less clueless than I actually am about sewing.

I've got absolutely no complaints about the quality of the machine.When I first brought it home, I was playing with it, and got a huge rat's nest of thread stuck behind the dog feeder.The machine came with a small flat piece of metal, that (with absolutely no instruction from anyone) I was able to figure out was to be used to unscrew the face plate, and get everything cleaned out.I was able to fix it and get back to sewing within about 10 minutes.

It comes with two trays (sorry, I don't know what they're called).One is a larger tray that's good for holding large projects like a quilt.The other tray is small and compact, but it's my favorite as it has a small compartment that is perfect for holding the extra feet, needles, etc.

Complaints:The "automatic threader" is a joke.I have tried to use it to thread the machine about 50 times, and can not figure it out, despite watching the DVD instructions on how to do it.The light is not very bright, so expect to have a lamp over your sewing area.The bobbin window pops out completely, and is very easy to misplace (which I do every time I have to change the bobbin.)I wish there was better instructions on how to use the feet, and how to sew a button on.I was able to make the button hole with no problem, but ended up sewing the buttons on by hand.

Also, not really a complaint, but a side note... I don't use the larger tray much, so it takes up a lot of storage space in my limited sewing area, which is something you might want to think about if you have a very small work area too.

Compliments:This machine is so super easy to thread, and sew.It has all the feet you need to do all your projects (if you know how to use them).I love the compartment in the smaller tray, to hold all the small stuff.It has 4 or 5 very pretty stitch patterns that look really nice on a quilt.The machine and light never get hot to the touch, no matter how long I use it.And if you do manage to screw it up (luckily this doesn't happen often) it's super easy to fix.Its default setting has the needle always stop in the up position, so you don't have to manually lift the needle every time you switch squares on a quilt.

All-in-all, a wonderful machine, but perhaps better for someone who knows what they're doing, or is able to take a sewing class or two.Even if (like me) you've never sewn anything at all, if you just want to use the default settings, it's delightfully easy.4.5 stars.=)
