Customer Reviews
I have a Pfaff quilters machine that died and needs parts. It is going to price about double the expense of this machine to repair it. So I figured what the heck. I've been sewing considering the fact that grade school in the 1960s and have put to use all sorts of machines. I also worked at a fabric shop for a quantity of years. I have some suggestions for the beginner. A number of reviews of this machine complain about some issues I believed I'd speak to here.
This is a good little machine. Initially even I had trouble with it. Discovered that the threading instruction picture in the instruction book is a bit tricky. Don't forget to thread the tiny bracket that is above the needle. It is step 7 in the book, but not obvious in the picture and not apparent on the machine. The thread to begin with goes by means of the pretty obvious metal holder in step six, then it desires to go in that tiny tiny bracket, a little piece of metal that is laying on best of the needle mount. If you do not thread that, the thread will ball up underneath and mess up your sewing and lock up. I suggest stopping at a Joann Fabrics where they sell this machine and ask somebody to show you if you cannot acquire it. that's what I ended up performing.
Also for the newbie, Singer machines in particular can also tangle the thread if you do not gently hold the ends at the starting of a seam. Often, it will pull the thread down into the bobbin location and lock up. This is solved merely by holding the ends for the very first couple of stitches. At some point, immediately after you've had to rip out a couple of balled up seams, you bear in mind.
I made a heavy vinyl pouch with it as my to begin with project, and it handled the vinyl truly well. The feeddogs struggled a bit with the weight of the fabric, pulling it out of line, so I had to put the weight of the fabric on a chair so it didn't pull. A different tip for the newbie, usually cease the machine with the needle in the fabric. You do this by stopping and easily turning the wheel to get that needle back in the fabric.
A further tip here to any new sewer. Initial take the original needle out of that machine and throw it away. You have no notion what kind of shape it is in. Open the packet of needles that are in the little door in the cost-free arm and use a fresh needle. Sharp needles are crucial to any project. And they only remain sharp for a couple of projects at most.
When you are operating with heavy fabric like vinyl or denim, you will need to use a heavy duty needle, especially if you are going through four layers of denim. Check them out at the fabric store. Get the sort of needle that matches your kind of fabric. If you are not sure, ask. And sew by way of the thick parts extremely slowly, often you may perhaps need to manually insert the needle and pull it up to get by way of a lot of layers correctly to get the machine going. Take your time.
Knits need diverse needles, occasionally, a ballpoint needle that passes in between fibers rather of splitting them as you sew. Fine fabrics also require different needles and they should be highly sharp.
Whenever the stitching balls up below your piece, it is probably considering the leading or bobbin is threaded incorrect. Make sure the thread is coming off the bobbin with the loose thread pointing to the left. It can be a bad needle. It can be a tension dilemma or a bad match amongst needle and fabric. If the stitches seem definitely tight, the tension can be turned a half quantity either way and solve the situation, but only after you have ruled out the other complications. IT happens to the greatest of us so don't get discouraged. Envision me going into my old shop to have them show me how to thread a machine. : )
Beyond all that, I liked sewing with this machine. it is reasonably quiet, and does sew quickly. This will be fantastic for undertaking piecing for quilts. It is not the quality of my Pfaff, which is all metal (the skin of this machine is plastic) and doesn't have a lot of fancy stitches, but it is a good worth for what it does do and does execute nicely for all I've completed so far. And fantastic for a beginner sewer, or an individual who only requirements a machine when in awhile to hem pants or take care of odd little projects or somebody like me who was going via withdrawal when her machine dies and is going to take some time to get fixed.
I am a self employed seamstress and I am very hard on machines, specially with hemming blue jeans and zippers in carhart coats and numerous other issues. One particular thing I was searching for was an affordable item that was heavy duty. Singer is generally a great brand and I watched videos on what this item can do, so I ordered it. Substantially to my dismay, I discovered that it wasn't any distinctive than any other machine. Heavy Duty on this machine implies nothing at all. It does do some of the items that they say but it does not go by way of all the layers of material that it says. Overall it is a fine machine, but it is not Heavy duty.
