SINGER Heavy Duty 6600C Sterling Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit | Strong Motor with Enhanced Piercing Power, 215 Stitch Applications, Full Metal frame, LCD Screen & 1-Step Buttonhole

I've never had a modern machine. I've always had Singers over the years that were decades old from church auctions and I've spent the last 15 years sewing with my grandma's 1960s model. I always knew there was something better out there and I've been waiting my whole life for this splurge. If you've sewn before, don't be intimidated by this machine, it's intuitive.I was initially hesitant as there's so much online hate for Singer in recent years since they were acquired by a larger company...but I wanted something familiar so I went ahead and got the upgraded model with all the fancy stitches since I was treating myself.My first impression was how light it was. It's not completely metal, but I DO NOT CARE. I'm so sick of lugging around a lethally heavy chunk of metal. Initial setup took MAYBE 5 minutes as I'm familiar with multiple Singer machines. My favorite part is the automatic threading arm and self cutting bobbin feature. SO IMPRESSED. It has a neat little pull out on the bottom that tells you which presser foot to use with what stitch you'll be using.What was initially buyer's remorse was instantly changed into self loathing. WHY didn't I buy a new machine years ago? This thing is a breeze. My first little project required overcast stitches,zigzag stitches, and a button hole. It took me all of 20 minutes. This would have taken HOURS with my grandmas machine because the bobbin always gets messed up. I've got a quilt in the queue to sew next and I'm optimistic that it won't take too long once it's cut and pinned. Oh how I've missed the days when prep was the longest part of a sewing project!

Nice stitch options, does not come with a manual, can buy one from singer though.

Great Sewing machine ! Easily operated!

Runs smooth

The machine came out of adjustment, the feed dogs down. I raised the feed dogs but they didn't really work well. I have tried to adjust the tension but it still doesn't adjust correctly. I lowered the feed dogs and tried to raise them again. It is now completely broken. I don't even have 15 hours on this machine.
