Review: I took a sewing class (being a complete novice) in the fall. I learned there on a Husqvarna machine, which is the elite of the sewing machines, in my opinion. For Christmas I got a Singer 2517, which is a much more affordable model.

What a piece of junk

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2008
Review: No thanks to the manual, I was able to figure out how to use this piece of junk. Major problems with tension and bobbin, but what really has me irked are:

Go a level higher than this when buying a singer

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2004
Review: I first bought this machine, eager to master sewing while being apprehensive at the same time. I got it at Target for 85 dollars. After taking classes at Joann, I found sewing enjoyable and discovered it was something I was likely to pursue more...

Review: I am an experienced seamstress on a tight budget. After leaving a trail of broken hand-me-down sewing machines behind me I decided I should invest in a new machine (my first new machine in 15 years of sewing!). I decided on this machine because my...
