For the first time since the invention of the sewing machine, Singer has created a new method of threading the machine and bobbin by combining digital technology with a one-touch needle threader. Beginning and proficient sewers can now spend less time threading the machine and more time exploring their creativity from basic utility to fashion sewing, crafts and home decor projects. The new SwiftSmart(TM) Threading System is a revolutionary way to thread a sewing machine. With previous threading systems, sewers had to thread the spool, guide the thread down along the groove, then U-turn the thread, pull it up again, thread the take-up, and pull it down again to thread the needle eye. Now using the SwiftSmart Threading System, all sewers have to do is simply guide the thread from the spool to the needle via the groove at the front of the machine. Another Singer Curvy machine feature, the One Touch Needle Threader, will even pull the thread through the eye of the needle. There is no longer a need to go through a complicated threading process. Adding to the speed of the SwiftSmart(TM) Threading System is the new Drop and Sew(TM) Bobbin System. With a specially designed thread track and new needle plate, there is no longer a need to manually raise the bobbin thread. The Singer Curvy machine's new curvy shape with contemporary colors comes with three StayBright(TM) LED lights offering unparalleled illumination. The Push-Button stitch selection allows sewers to easily select the desired stitch by pushing a button instead of turning a dial. The machine's auto tension ensures stable stitch quality for every type of fabric. This machine will come with a FREE 5-year extended warranty.

Summary: first new sewing machine, ever! 2010-02-22
Comment: This is the first new sewing machine I've ever bought and I love it. I've been sewing for 40years, quilting for 30 and never treated myself to a decent machine. When my second hand-me-down died I decided it was time. I love the nice bright light, the auto needle threader, and the drop in bobbin feature. The foot pedal took a little getting used to, as my old one was wider, but it works well.
I've sewn several different kinds of fabrics both light and heavy and it handles them all great!

Summary: Excellent Machine 2010-01-31
Comment: I bought this for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. I got it when it was on sale for $100 less and I am glad I got it when I did. She is especially impressed with the stiching patterns that are available on this machine.

Summary: First Impressions 2009-12-06
Comment: After many decades of service, my wife's old Singer finally went kaput so we researched several different machines before deciding on this one. Not only did Amazon offer the best value, but my credit card had barely cooled when the machine and case arrived - super fast shipping. I know, I know - guys aren't supposed to give APPLIANCES as gifts but that's what she wanted and that's what she got.
Although this was a Christmas gift the wifey has been dieting and had quite a few outfits to alter before the holidays, so I encouraged her to open the boxes and get acquainted with her new machine. Right away, we were struck by just how much larger this machine was in person than when viewed on the web site. It's not really huge, just a bit bigger than we's envisioned. The machine works great, and she is still learning all the functions and features.
One curiousity - there was no instructional DVD with this particular machine, and nothing in the product description to indicate there would be one included, but it sure would be helpful - especially for a guy like me that is not very sewing machine savvy. Beyond the presser feet described on the web site, ours came with a whole 'nother bag of different presser feet - 4 or 5 others that we have not yet identified. Not sure if this was a packaging mistake or what, but it was a bonus. Singer *should* at least include a descriptive sheet of the different presser feet along with the intended use for each one so we'd know exactly what we're working with here. My bride is no stranger to Singer products, but this has even her a bit baffled. There's a double fistful of presser feet and are left to discover their useful functions on our own. This is the only reason I only rated this product at four stars instead of five.
Overall, first impressions are very favorable and we are both pleased with the purchase. Whether you are new to sewing or a wily veteran seamstress I think you could do quite well with this middle of the line machine. Buy with confidence, but do your homework first.

Summary: Smart Threading is a smart idea for seniors 2009-01-06
Comment: We purchased this machine for our 86 year old quilting mother. She loves it and can work more independently. This is a dream for her. We combined this with other vision aids and it seems to be working like a charm.

Summary: I like the Curvy 2008-10-03
Comment: I had seen a Curvy at a store and thought it was what I wanted, so I checked on line and found a fair price so I ordered it. I received it at the time specified, and have now tried it out and like it very much. There have been no problems with it, it is light enough to carry around, compared to my old machine that I needed help carrying, and it works better than my Singer Athena ever did. The auto threader works fine, and the bobbin rewinder took two tries to figure out, but it is great. The DVD sent as instructions was a little lacking in detail, but I am happy with my new machine.
