Average Review: I only wish I had bought this sooner! I purchased the Stylist from Hancock's in January and have really loved it. I had been using a Singer that was 20 years old and when parts could no longer be found to repair it, I bought this machine. I am still learning many sewing techniques, but the included feet have made inserting zippers, making buttonholes and rolled hems very easy. It has made learning more about sewing fun. I, too, struggled with my old machine and wish that I had bought the Stylist sooner! Such an upgrade from my last machine! I bought this machine last week, despite finding very few reviews online, because the features plus the included presser feet couldn't be beat for the price. I'm so glad that I did! And I thought I should leave a review, so the next person debating can at least have one review on this wonderful machine. My first sewing machine was a Singer Esteem II from Target. I got it 7 months ago, began sewing for the first time, and have not stopped since. But there were issues - mainly with the bobbin tension and bunching up - that made me want to upgrade. The best way to describe this new Singer Stylist vs. my old machine is this. Once I drove a 15 year old Honda Civic. Good car, but not luxurious AT ALL. And I drove Corvettes occassionally at work. Can you imagine the difference there? They do the same thing, but one does it with so much more elegance that it hardly seems like they're both cars. That's how this machine is. It's SO quiet. The needle action seems a million times smoother. I used my old machine last night because I was too lazy to switch out needles, and regretted it immediately. The Stylist has me spoiled in just a week. I love it. The stitches are lovely - I've tested a bunch and they really are stuff I'll use. It's easy to pick up. The option to use a presser foot or not is really cool, and handy for long rows of stitches. It really makes sewing less work. I can just SEW, instead of constantly fixing issues with the machine, like I did on my old one. Highly recommend if you're looking for an electronic sewing machine in this price range. (oh, and the ladies at the store were super helpful in my decision-making!) |
