I am 54 years old, been sewing since I was 8 yrs old. I love to sew, but have worked with two wonderful machines. I have a Singer Featherweight and a cabinet model, made in 1952, both Singers. They have served me wonderfully all these years. This winter, I finally broke down and bought a Singer Curvy. I absolutely love it!! It makes mending so much easier. I still intend to use my cabinet model though but wanted you to know how much I love this new machine!!
I got this machine for myself to start out with. I really like the machine but I have found one problem with this machine. The one problem I have had is that the needle threader does not work with any needles other than Universal Needles. I have been taking a quilting class and need to use Sharps, but those needles won't work with the needle threader. Other than that, I love this machine!!!
I have had my Curvy for 3 months now. I love the looks and the features of the machine but feel the quality of the stitches are lacking. It seems to skip a lot of stitches. I have notices the stitches ravel a lot even when back stitched. The stitches just do not seem to lock even when customizing the tension. I have tried using the auto feature for tension and it does not work to my satisfaction either. I have made approx 4 quilts in the time I have had the machine. Yesterday I wanted to work on the current one and the foot pedal does not work. It appears the actual socket on the machine the plug goes into is defective. All in all I am fairly disappointed in the quality of this SINGER product.
It works fine love the self threading feature. Wish the manual explained more,I needed to watch the DVD to get started. The machine is very nice. I have always loved Singer. DG
This product has been a nightmare since I got it 10 years ago. It's just on my last nerve right now. It's so horrible, I fight with it once about every 6 months. Then I give up. It's a sentimental thing that was a special gift. I hate that it's such trash since it was supposed to help me get into my fashion dreams.
I took it out of the box, and tried to wind the bobbin and it was not working! I've called & emailed Singer multiple times and they've yet to respond. Will return
I really hate to give it a bad review because I have always had Singer Machines, but this one has not worked well for me at all. I have not been able to complete one sewing project since I got it as a gift last March. Something seems to always be wrong with the tension and it just sews gobs of thread on the underside of the fabric. I use the correct thd. and needles for the material I am using. I just tried to repair some jeans using a needle for that purpose with heavier thd. for denim and it was a disaster. The thd. all balled up down around the bobbin and I had to unscrew the plate to cut everything out. Any suggestions, I would really like to get to sewing some nice xmas gifts and things for myself and home. Thank you very much!
Been sewing for almost 40 years - Have sewn on the cheapest to the most expensive of machines. This is by far the worst machine I have ever used. Had to take it in for service after its second use! The top thread guide cuts the thread about every 12" and you have to rethread. The machine doesn't wind the bobbin tight enough and multiple pieces of thread are picked up from the bobbin causing a huge tangled mess under the presser foot. The stitch options don't work. You have to change them and then turn the machine off for it to reset it, etc., etc., etc. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
I really don't so as much since I purchased the sewing machine and it has been noting but problems one after another. thread bunching on the bottom of material when using auto function or the manual settings. Also, I have keep this well cleaned etc. The seat that holds the bobbin casing keeps popping out of its spot and starts making obnoxious noises and the machine does nothing but beep at me. I an so frustrated and I am ready to throw the machine in the trash.. I need help!!! I dont know what else to do. please help
The machine is awful. It will not let me lift the foot because the lever is stuck. So I can not exchange one foot for another. I sewed s blouse but can't finish because there is no way to sew the buttonholes. The place where I bought it want $100 just to look at it. Now what do I do??
