Singer Confidence Quilter 7469Q Sewing Machine Review

Singer Confidence Quilter 7469Q Sewing MachineI 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.=)

Brother SE400 Computerized Embroidery and Sewing Machine Review

Brother SE400 Computerized Embroidery and Sewing MachineI agree with the rave reviews for the se-350 now se-400.... for sewing, it's a dream of an upgrade from my battered but still working brother xr-40 bought from costco @ 10-ish years ago.
for embroidery it's limited as the max hoop size is not very large,and an extra purchase, but fun to play with. I give it 4 stars... it's a great intermediate sewing and beginner embroidery machine.

i purchased this machine (shipped promptly from J&R via Amazon) last month after a lot of research. what i found was.... the brother se-350 was pretty much identical to the brother project runway 7700 machine. the 7700 was recently updated to the 7800, adding 1 usb port, as was the se 350 upgraded w/ usb port. the project runway machines come w/ a roller case, the se models ship w/ vinyl case. se-400 is 100 bucks cheaper than the PR 7800. the se 350 is still shipping for smae price as se-400. i advise purchasing the se 400 even if you don't plan on using it w/ your computer currently as brother will be offering system upgrades you will need usb port for.

most software for embroidery sewing/embroidery machines is not Mac compatible so i assumed the usb port would be useless for a while.. Wrong!

connect the se 400 via included usb cable to your mac, it'll show up as an external hard drive, mine was named unknown, i do not advise changing this. then add pes files from your computer by dropping them on the sewing machine/external drive. do not add folders of designs on machine, they must be added one at a time to be recognized.
and have fun!

48 pieces thread/ bobbins for all Sewing Machinesit is cheap- very cheap. and of course that is what you get. each color has enough thread to maybe fill one bobbin. would know for sure if i could find the end of the thread. you end up wasting half the paltry amount just to find it. basically seems like something you would buy at a dollar store.

Janome Sewist 500 Sewing Machine with 25 Built-In Stitches w/ Free Shipping!!! Review

Janome Sewist 500 Sewing Machine with 25 Built-In Stitches w/ Free ShippingMy husband bought me this machine for an early Mother's Day gift. I am really new to sewing and so far am in love with my Janome!! It was so easy to learn to wind the bobbin and thread the machine, going by just the manual. I haven't sewn a thing since 8th grade home ec and after 2 days of practicing I've already hemmed some things and fixed a few seams in my husbands' boxer shorts ;) The machine itself is very solidly built and runs so smoothly, it makes me feel silly for being so nervous about sewing for so long. I wish I had gotten one years ago! I would definitely recommend this machine to anyone looking to get into sewing for the first time, or anyone who just wants a good, solid-running machine that will last for many years. I've always heard good things about Janome and this machine is no exception.

Singer Model 7467 Sewing Machine Review

Singer Model 7467 Sewing MachineI just got this machine a week ago as an early Christmas gift from my hubby.I didn't purchase it from Amazon, because we found a Thanksgiving-week deal at Jo-Ann fabrics, so I picked it up there for about $200.

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.

This machine 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.

It's computerized, so it adjusts the thread tension automatically, which is one of the big reasons I was interested in a newer Singer model.With past sewing machines, I've had trouble with thread tension despite constant fidgeting and following the manual's explicit instructions.

Oh, and the bobbin!It's got a drop-in system, which makes it so much easier to thread.No more taking pieces out of my machine to put the bobbin back in!I LOVE THIS MACHINE!

But seriously, I love this machine.I have only had it for a week or so, but I have done a LOT of sewing (Christmas gifts!) and I am in looooooove with this machine.I am absolutely 100% satisfied, and you probably will be too.

Singer Original Sewing MachineI was really thinking it would work, rinky dink as it was. At first it seemed to but it would not sew a stitch. It moved but that is it. I felt it was safe for my daughters first machine. It was more than safe... Unfortunate that it is not even worth the $14 low sticker price. I would rather they made it sturdier and charged more. Igot her a bobbin type, crossing my fingers that the Bratz machine is better...

Brother 40-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine CE4000 Review

Brother 40-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine CE4000I teach sewing lessons in Spring Texas (www.GetSewing.com). I was tired of students bring "problem" machines. I bought this machine for because two students brought ones like it and I was impressed with the quality for the price range. A good thing is, you can sew very slowly. The machine goes when you press on the foot pedal, it doesn't growl and hesitate. You can also sew fast too. The only thing I don't like on this model is that every time you stop, it stops with the needle down in the fabric and you must turn the hand wheel to move it up. It would be much more useful if the needle stopped in the position.

Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine With 11 Built-In Stitches Review

Brother XL2230 31-Stitch Function Free-Arm Sewing Machine With 11 Built-In StitchesWe ordered 7 of these machines for our school sewing class, and each machine is in use approximately 1-2 hours per week.Upon receipt, one of the machines would not work, and we received a replacement.We have now been using the machines for about 6 weeks, and have consistently had problems with the bobbin casing dislocating and causing the needle to jam or break.The sewing instructor, who has extensive sewing experience, used the word temperamental to describe them and said that they are a nightmare for the frustrated students attempting to learn to sew.They were reasonably priced, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Deluxe Sewing Machine and Kit Review

Deluxe Sewing Machine and KitWe gave this machine to our 9-year-old.She loves it and has been able to work it herself without any help. Granted she has used my machine with some guidance in the past, but she was sewing away within 30 minutes of opening it.It is light enough for her to pick up and put it away but does a reasonably nice job of stitching as well.We would buy it again.

Singer Tradition 2250 Portable Sewing Machine Review

Singer Tradition 2250 Portable Sewing MachineMy wife needed a simple basic sewing machine to repair and make adjustments to our clothes.We decided on this model based on the low price and the Singer name.As we understand there are more Singer machines in service than all other brands together.

We found the DVD that came with the machine very helpful and between that and the owner's manual the setup was easy.Since then she is using it from time to time and, as it fulfills all our needs at an affordable price, we must give it a high rating.

We would have hated to pay more for a sewing machine with more features that we were not going to use.This is a good reliable machine that fulfills our need for simplicity and ease of operation.

Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machine Review

Singer LockStitch 2000 Sewing Machinewe tried this item as well as the Discovery Item and both have the same flaws...very difficult to use.Me Mum-in-law is an expert, and she says have them start on a real machine...I should have listened.My 6 year old wants to learn to sew clothes for her dolls, as well as become a quilter.I was really hoping that this unit would have the safety features that allow for a child----and it does, but it is so difficult to operate for an adult, that there is no way the child will figure it out.Threading is very difficult, even for small adult hands, so I simply don't see how a child will be able to operate this.Better to listen to Me Mum in Law, a wonderful and talented woman; a Master of Crafts. Use a smaller adult machine and use caution and oversight.Besides, your daughter will love the one on one interaction with a precious Mom, Grammie, or Auntie!(As a dad, I just don't cut it in this area!)

Singer(R) CurvyTM 8763 Sewing Machine Review

Singer(R) CurvyTM 8763 Sewing MachineI purchased my Singer Curvy Sewing Machine in August 2008 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!

Michley LSS-505 Lil' Sew & Sew Multi-Purpose Sewing Machine with Built-In Stitches Review

Michley LSS-505 Lil' Sew & Sew Multi-Purpose Sewing Machine with Built-In StitchesI didn't want an expensive sewing machine. I just wanted to hem my boy's pants which are always too long, and it works for that. The instructions are pretty bad but with a little help from Youtube I figured it out. I was able to rethread the bobbins and use the thread I had without any problem. I think if I, who has never used a sewing machine in his life can figure it out, just about anybody can.

Singer CE-150 Futura Sewing-and-Embroidery Machine Review

Singer CE-150 Futura Sewing-and-Embroidery MachineBefore my Singer, I had only used a machine twice in my life, so when it arrived, I got a pleasant surprise - I was off sewing within minutes, getting great results and having loads of fun. I especially love that threading is so easy, and you learn quickly where to be careful to avoid thread breakage.

Changing to embroidery unit - no problem, though getting the right foot attached usually takes me a sec. I daringly started off with one of my own Embird designs... without a glitch, even without the use of stabilizer, just straight onto firm cotton.

I love that the machine is easy to use, especially the Futura software. Its 24 standard stitches are more than enough, its embroidery is great. And my absolute favorite is the hoop size! Other machines with a similar (still higher) price tag come with a 4"x4" hoop, this one has two hoops with a maximum of 5"x7". You might not think you will need this, but you will - either when doing multiple designs on one large hoop, or just embroidering longer names.

The manual could be improved at times, but I hardly ever needed it.

I hear people complaining about broken thread - honestly, just like with every machine, you just need to know the Singer's quirks.

During the first 3-5 stitches of every color, hold the upper thread in the back, and no false thread breakage will occur. If it still does, thread the whole thing again and you will be fine. Don't use pre-wound bobbins without stabilizer. It will give you trouble after only 1/3 of the bobbin is empty, and since the bobbin case is plastic, you really shouldn't use metal bobbins either. Just wind your own bobbins when needed, it is easy enough.

Make sure that you use good embroidery yarn; every machine has brands it doesn't like. I am currently extremely happy with the Madeira yarns.

The fact that it needs a computer next to it... You know that before buying, don't you? To me, that is not a disadvantage at all, since I appreciate the large screen, and that I can work in Embird while the machine embroiders, preparing the next project.

It really is an awesome machine for that price. In Europe, the only difference between the 150 and the 250/350 are the number of stitches and which software is included.

Since I am using Embird, I really needed nothing except the Futura software to send designs to the machine, and 24 stutches is more than enough for what I do.

I highly recommend the machine - I am utterly in love with it.
