While it is great to have all those stitches, it just seems it it's not enough. Stitch length seems a bit short. Speed good. Auto threader feels a little loose. Noise acceptable. Cords could be a might longer.Stitch PerformanceMy machine is less than a year old. Starting to have problems with fancy stitches.Ease of UseThreading path a logical pattern .

I am not an expert sewer by any means this was a wedding gift and my main use will be for mending clothes or some simple projects. I have had a little problem with denim and other thicker materials it seems as it gets jammed and runs into issues. However it has worked well for all jobs so far.

Before my husband got me this Singer Sewing Machine, I had used a Brother-- non computerized one. I had a lot of trouble with that one with the tension. I don't have problems with the tension on this Singer machine. I like the many options for stitches, but I primarily stick to the straight and zig zag stitch. But when I've made dresses, I have used the interlocking stitch, which is similar to the serger, so I really like that. I don't like that it locks up a little bit when I try to back-stitch, and it is time consuming when threading the thread in step 3. But other than those couple of things, I really like the machine.
