Summary: Wow, Shark has a lot of buttons 2007-12-06
Comment: Okay, I just got back from the store and I am reviewing this machine vs. another one. This machine, the shark has all of the stitch designs that I'm looking for. You can't tell from the picture b/c it doesn't zoom close in enough, but it has lots. Some even look like the patterns you see on clothes in the store. Taht's a plus. It also gives great descriptions of what's inside. (Like # of bobbins, needle case with needles, foot, etc) It also gave button hole pictures so you get an idea of what it can do.
I'm a novice to sewing with this machine. My first one was a VX1005, it lasted about 10 years. It still may even work and I just hit the wrong tension dial or soemthing. (if anyone knows let me know. I can't get even stitches or the same stitches at that. And the zigzag doesn't work well or at all really.) It also says it does embroidery and it has a quilt table.
Anyway my concerns about this machine was that: 1.) it was a Shark. I'd never heard of Shark and I saw soooo many singer products around (needles thread, bobbins, etc) and 2.) no Shark accessories. So if my needles break or if i loose a bobbin, could they be replaced? I've used a universal needle but, I'm not sure if that's a solution or a problem. 3) if something happens like it doesn' work or anything, then where can i take it to get it fixed? JoAnns does Singer machines and they said there are a lot of singer places where i can get my machine fixed. So, I'm still debating on if i get this or not. It definitely has a lot of cool stitches and pattern designs...

Summary: Good Sturdy Machine 2006-12-07
Comment: I have not had a problem with this machine yet but I have only done one project with it. The instructions are fairly good and have pictures to try and explain the steps. It is nice that it comes with a case because that will run you $20. The auto-thread is nice but the instructions were hard for me to understand. I found a website that had better instructions and I got it right away. I would recommend this to someone.

Summary: I like it 2006-11-30
Comment: I am new to sewing and had this machine for a week now. I like the heaviness, the all metal construction that feels sturdy and durable. As with everything read your manual! I had some trouble sewing a buttonhole at first but a bit of common sense helped and my third try was perfect and the machine did it all by itself. The tension on the machine came perfectly set and I had no trouble with it. Threading was easy after the first few tries and I find I actually prefer the normal manual threading rather than the automatic threading. After doing some research I realized that many machines, even more expensive ones, do not offer adjustable presser foot pressure; it usually says it's pre-set. On this machine you can adjust the foot pressure, although that too came perfectly adjusted.
I wish there was a way to sew at different speeds more easily. I am still too new to have a good feel for controlling the speed and I either go too slowly or too fast, but I guess this is a function of experience.
All in all, I like this machine a lot and don't regret buying it.

Summary: Five Stars for this machine with extra attachments. 2005-06-15
Comment: This is a great machine. Slight warning if you're not used to sewing machines that have a metal bobbin for the bottom threader that gets attached to other metal things not sure of techy name. Just read the book and know that the metal arm needs to be caught by the notch by the other metal thing. After that this is great, I never really sewed before and it made putting a button on as easy as 1, 2, 3 and same thing for sewing seams.<br />
