Before I ordered this machine I read all the previous reviews and was therefore ready for the fact that it’s quite complicated to thread. The instructions just seem to make it more complicated! I tried to follow the tutorial on YouTube but had to give up on that too! Eventually my 15 year old son, fed up with my plaintive wailing no doubt, came to my rescue and managed to work it out!! It’s fiddly but once done it’s a super little machine and very easy to use. I don’t do much sewing so I didn’t need a fancy, expensive machine but I’m delighted with this one and would recommend it.....just make sure you’ve got some time and patience to sit down and thread it!!

A stalwart basic sewing machine. Very happy with my purchase. If it lasts the 25yrs my last basic singer sewing machine did, I will be very happy. All you need to do dressmaking etc. Simple enough to do your own basic service on ( clean fabric dust that accumulates with constant use). Great for a beginner or experienced sewer alike. 100%

My mum used to work for Singer sewing machines so I kinda grew up with the brand. This is the first machine I've owned in years (previously I begged, borrowed... ) and I'm glad to say they're still making 'em good! The (very reasonable) money you spend on this machine goes on build-quality, power, and ease of use. There are no frills but it's tough! A metal frame lurks under its plastic casing and that gives it weight and solidity. I'm really pleased with this machine, and the vendor's/Ebay's service, so it gets five stars. One caveat though... the "automatic needle threader..." what's that all about!? It's an extra gadget so don't worry, but could I get it to work? Nah! The instructions were... enigmatic, so I shall trundle off to YouTube to see if some helpful soul has cracked the secret sequence... In summary, I love this sewing machine; he's already my little buddy and when I've finished making props and costumes for the play I'm working on, no unstitched piece of fabric will be safe....
