I would say this is an okay machine for beginners. I say this because some seem to have the impression that the machine is supposed to do everything for you. First read the manual thoroughly so you can understand how the machine works. Second, in the beginning, my stitches kept getting tangled, and I realized all I needed to do was fix the tension. You just have to play around with the machine to understand how it works. Second, the "S" button is not in the stitch selector dial but stitch length. I've made 4 different projects with this machine so far and I love it. Works well and I'm sure I'll have this one for a while.

I have gotten three hand me down machines in the last 2 months or so. The first my aunt couldnt get to work, the second she said it wasnt even worth the attempt and the third was an absolute nightmare. I was told on that one id have to take it to to a repair shop , I said i would just buy a new one. This is the one I chose.
The manual is pretty easy to follow, and there are arrows on the machine on how to thread it.
Im a beginner at sewing, and compared to the other machines I looked at , this one looks durable and just all around solid.
If I can figure this out, SO CAN YOU!

I suck at sewing machines and I got this one really easily. The directions were really clear. I have sewn maybe 3 different times and I got it first try. I really love it. I like the sleek design. It's relatively light weight and it's pretty small - two concerns I had when picking which one. The person below me said this machine sucks but she's also a first time sewing machine user. Maybe get some lessons before writing a review saying the machine sucks. Maybe it's user error. Even my fiance understands this machine now. It's easy. The stitches are really nice, it comes with some necessary tools. You can always trust the name Singer and you know they'll always be around to replace parts or get additional accessories. Oh I got the one with the automatic threader - pretty awesome!!! I don't wear glasses and I really don't plan on it for a while so I was really thrilled to use this option.
