5.0 out of 5 stars White 4042 "Jeans" Heavy Duty machine is great!, June 2, 2006

I wanted an all-purpose machine, one that is easy to use and built to last. This is it! I've used it on various fabric weights and it performs beautifully.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hate it!, July 11, 2011
This review is from: White 4042 Heavy Duty 42 Stitch Function Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
This is the worst machine ever. It does not come close to living up to its name. I'm kicking myself daily for not having returned this machine to the store I bought it from. I was gullible and just thought it would get better. It didn't! Don't buy this machine if you plan on hemming jeans very much with this machine. It will leave you disappointed!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth Retail Price, November 11, 2010
This review is from: White 4042 Heavy Duty 42 Stitch Function Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
I've been sewing for almost 25 years, and even though it's billed as being a "jeans machine" it's not up to the task of thick fabrics or decorative trim. The bobbin tends to lock up and freezes the machine. This requires a complete disassembly of the bobbin housing and needle carriage (not as simple as popping the bobbin out, I mean unscrewing the entire bottom part of the machine).

If you know how to take apart machines or are not intimidated by something that you'll spend more time repairing than you will sewing, by all means, go for it, but it will probably never do better than Halloween costumes or quilt block assembly, which are better served with a low-end overlock machine. It probably is a reasonable buy for an un-daunted sewer at a garage sale, but not worth the retail price.

I had a much cheaper sewing machine in college - about $80 from a discount store - that lasted longer and outperformed this machine.
