Own it Dislike it !!!!,

Having grown up with the wonderful Singer Manual machines as in non-digitalized I thought I'd treat myself to the digital world and update all of my machines at once. Lucky for me I didn't get rid or trade in any of those good old ones.
This machine for todays world is well made but when it lacks some common sense and simple item designs such as lighting up the sewing area and a reverse switch or button that does not need to be held down during the sewing process.....it just spoils all the rest!

I love this machine!,

I have had this machine for over 3 years now. I am a New York State licensed, high school Fashion Design Instructor. I have been sewing for over 35 years. I researched this machine before I brought it online. I also have 5 other machines including 2 Brother machines, a Juki industrial, a Janome, a Singer industrial, and a Kenmore. I brought this machine for the decorative stitches and I have not been disappointed. It is true, as indicated in the other posting, that it does not have a task light, but I use a tall standing light behind me that focuses the light on my sewing projects. It all depends on what the individual is looking for. I absolutely love this machine!
