1408 Sewing Machine, White

I don't write many reviews but I feel I owe it to singer with this one. I own a Quantum Stylist 9960 all singing all dancing quilting machine that I imported from America and had the power supply switched to the UK version on, wanted a backup machine and chose the heavy duty 5511 for several reasons. Before I go on if anyone was wondering it's the 4411 with a white case on, I wanted this colour but if the 4411 is cheaper then go for that one. Firstly the speed, it has a much more powerful motor and does 1100 to the Quantum Stylist's 700, as you rarely have everything turned up with your foot to the floor this makes a bigger difference than you would think. If you feel the 5511's foot is too powerful out the gate there is a hole on the side of the pedal you put a screwdriver in and you can turn the sensitivity down on it. The second reason is a strange one and it's the non-automatic 4 step buttonhole. Automatic button holes on a a fully electronic machine are not all they are cracked up to be for someone not used to them trust me. Mostly because if anything goes wrong you will have to turn off the machine and everything resets. 4 step gives you much more control and is amazingly simple, it does long stitches on the top, click, it zig zags down. click, long stitch at bottom, click, and back to the other end. At each stage you get to stop and check it's all going ok. I was surprised at how compact it was in comparison to the quantum stylist, it is surprisingly small and light for such a powerful machine. It is also a lot quieter. Build quality of the outer casing is better as well but that's a negative point for the quantum. No it does not have all the same features as a high end quilting machine, no needle up/down button, no automatic tension, and only has 11 stitches but as a simple straight stitch or zig zag machine the 5511/4411 just *better* than the quantum stylist 9960.

Every Singer machine is of excellent quality and delivers excellent sewing performance. I can highly recommend it. I think it's a good price for those on a smaller budget. I had another Singer machine and used it for years; it's a very solid product. This one, like all Singer models, is excellent.

Excellent easy to use

An excellent machine but the manual does not cover all potential issues, and could be more thorough

Its a. Singer and. the. best Good

Very please with machine sewing beautiful and fast.

Very flimsy. Bobbin keeps jamming.

Easy to thread and easy to use

I'm absolutely thrilled with my Singer SGM-1408 sewing machine! It's a fantastic option for anyone just starting out or looking for a reliable machine at a great price. Here's why I love it: Easy to Use: Setting up and threading this machine was a breeze. The clear instructions and printed threading guide made it a smooth process, even for a sewing newbie like me. Great Stitch Selection: It offers a surprising variety of stitches (8 built-in with 63 applications) for all your sewing needs, from basic straight stitching to decorative flourishes. Lightweight and Portable: This machine is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to store or take with you to sewing classes. Don't be fooled by its size though, the full-size sewing area lets you tackle projects of all shapes and sizes. Hidden Gems: I love the little extras like the automatic bobbin winder, the handy reverse lever for securing seams, and the different presser feet that make tasks like sewing zippers a breeze. Overall, the Singer SGM-1408 is a fantastic value for the price. It's easy to use, versatile, and perfect for anyone who wants to unleash their inner seamstress!

Es muy simple pero práctica para trabajos sencillos muy fácil de usar y ligera de trasportar

Leicht, einfach zu bedienen. Top für Einsteiger und jemandem der ab und an mal was nähen möchte.

Satın aldığım günün ertesi günü teslim edildi. Kargoda sıkıntı yaşamadım kutuda herhangi bir zarar veya zedelenme yoktu. Makineye gelirsek oldukça basit ve kullanışlı. İlk denemelerde ipi sürekli kırsam da deneme yoluyla ipi kırmadan düz dikiş yapabilmeyi başardım. Düz dikişin yanında birkaç desenli dikiş modeli ve de benim en çok sevdiğim gizli dikiş modu mevcut. Benim gibi basit dikişler yapacaksanız bu makine tam size göre.

Mycket bra symaskin till det jag använder den till (främst papper, men även lagning av kläder). Jag är helnöjd. Även om instruktionerna var på två språk som inte jag kan så fick jag till hur man skulle få igång den - bilderna är lätta att förstå. YouTube-video hjälpte också till. Ganska tyst och den drar fram materialet jag vill sy på smidigt och väldigt rakt.
