100%I ordered a machine as a Birthday Present for my wife, something easy to use which it is and the instruction manual was very easy to follow. I would also like to say that the service I received from placing my order to delivery only 1 day was first class and I would definitely recommend anyone planning to buy a sewing machine to go to your site first. Many thanks again.

100%I love my Singer Legacy! The range of embroidery stitches is great - perfect for what I need, and the fact that it's also a sewing machine as well is the icing on the cake. The instruction manual is very comprehensive too.

80%The only issue I have with the sewing machine 3321 is the automatic needle threader i think you need to be Houdini to make it work. I have watched the video on YouTube many times and still no success I will be in touch with singer about this issue.

100%Bought the Singer 3337 to replace my 30 yr old machine. Really impressed with my new purchase. So much lighter than my old one and simple to use. Threading instructions are very helpful and one step buttonhole makes it foolproof.

Review by Adrian L
100%I’ve been using my Singer Confidence 7463 now for around a month for a variety of projects including altering clothing (jeans, t-shirts, jumper) making new clothing (t-shirts, pyjamas), and various hold-all’s etc. I am delighted with the 7463 and the price point suited me. This is my first computerised machine. The 7463 is a revelation compared with my trusty but ancient manual ones, it is so easy to change between stitches, change the foot and generally friendly to use. The foot controller is smooth and easy to modulate for precise start and sewing speed. I like that a quick tap on the foot controller gives just one forward stitch so this means it is easy to advance one stitch at a time where needed. I have been used to the presser-foot lifting lever being at the back, though, so positioned to the right-hand side as it is on the 7463 initially took a bit of getting used to. There are some things I find which I think could be better regarding Forward/Reverse. These are not deal-breakers though and I would buy the same model again. The reverse button itself is too easy to nudge accidentally when handling the workpiece or even when threading up. Familiarity with the machine mostly overcomes this. However, a little trick I have is to move the bobbin-winder to the right when I am worried about an inadvertent button-nudge (the bobbin-winder disengages the needle motion) and then move it back to its normal position again to start sewing. This is an occasional thing I do rather than frequent. Something I had not expected is that after stopping forward sewing, when the reverse button is then pressed, the machine puts in one extra forward stitch before it goes backwards. If you then stop, and press the foot controller to go forwards, it puts in one further backwards stitch before it goes forwards. Now I don’t know whether all computerised machines do this or not. Generally it is not a problem, but when very precise stitching is needed, it means extra care/planning is required for accurate results. This seems at odds with the general simplicity of operating the machine. I suspect it has something to do with the needle-stops-at-top feature (which I do like), a limitation perhaps regarding how this feature works. And one other thing, the machine likes a momentary pause between releasing the controller and pressing it again, or before using the back button, and vice versa, else it does nothing. This is something that is easily accommodated after a while.

Review by Pat S
100%Wow wow and wow Dont hesitate its a fantastic seeing machine Easy to use Plenty of stitch options Love the threader, cutter and speed selector. I didnt think i would change the speed but i use it quite a bit for top stitching the top stitching width options are fantastic. With optiins to move the needle both left and right in small increments it has made my sewing move to another level. The machine its self comes with alot of extras. Foot assortment is brilliant. The selling point for me was the threader and cutter but also the extension table as these can be quite pricey. But on this machine it comes included. Its a complete joy to use and ive made everything from a cushion cover to a vinyl hand bag. The price is fantastic and so is the customer service. I purchased mine in july 2021 and also receive 10 years parts and labour free. If you want a good quality reliable brand sewing machine with lots of extra's then look no further it also comes with a hard machine cover with a handle .. Happy sewing x
