Mask making
2 of 2 found this helpful I was in the middle of making masks for the Covid-19 pandemic when I had to purchase a new machine because my Sharp sewing machine seized up on me and stopped working. The Singer C5200 machine was the only one I could order online on a Saturday night as all other sewing machines were sold out. It seemed like a good deal when I originally purchased it but I came to find out that Joann Fabric had the exact same machine at half the price. I did not read customer comments until after I made the purchase. The common theme was that the machine jammed up when sewing. I have been sewing for over 40 years and know my way around a sewing machine. When I first received the machine I thoroughly read the instruction on how to wind the bobbin and thread the machine. I started sewing the day that I got it and it worked like a charm.
After sewing over 60 masks for the past three weeks 4 needles bent and broke while sewing and the stitching keeps getting all clumped up and the machine stops working when I’m sewing polyester/cotton fabric. I’ve had issues with 100% cotton fabric as well. I feel like I wasted $320 and I don’t recommend purchasing this sewing machine.

Outlander series
The books were in great condition. The only issue I had was that they were a bit pricy.
