Singer Electronic Sewing Machine

I have not used a sewing machine for a very long time but I decided that I wanted one. After careful research I decided on the Singer Electronic Sewing Machine. To be more specific I chose the Singer 7470 Confidence Model. Since it arrived I have not stopped sewing.
I have made a quilt, shirts and a dress so far and I am working on another quilt.

My favorite feature of this Singer 7470 Sewing Machine is the unit's Drop & Sew Bobbin system. It places the bobbin thread exactly where it is needed while the built in needle threader makes quick work of threading the eye of the needle. In the past it used to take forever to put the thread in the eye of the needle. I used to wet the thread and squint to get it through the tiny hole.

Also when I am hemming or changing a project, this machine provides 150 stitch programs which includes four types of 1 step buttonholes, an alphabet with upper and lower case, Numbers, a hand look quilt stitch and lots of other decorative stitches.

Everyday I learn something new that this Singer Electronic Sewing Machine can do and I am amazed.

Before you spend your hard earned money on an electronic sewing machine, it is a good idea to hear what others think of the product. Read what actual product owners are saying about the Singer Electronic Sewing Machine.

This is my 3rd Singer in 40 years. My first machine made countless dresses, pants, prom dresses, and upholstered a lot of furniture. My second machine was not heavy duty enough for what I do now. I make flannel blankets for Project Linus and average 3-5 blankets a week. The Singer 7470 is perfect! I have tried out all the features, which work perfectly. The instruction book is easy to follow. I love the numerous stitches that can be accessed with just a push of a button and that to get back to straight sewing, you just turn off the machine and when you turn it back on - straight sewing again. Also the price and service at Amazon were great as always!

I have not sewed for a long time and consider myself an advanced beginner. I wanted to get back into sewing without spending a lot, yet I did not want just a basic machine. I found what I wanted with the 7470. It has a lot of cute decorative stitches and a couple built in alphabets in addition to the usual utility stitches. It comes with all the basic feet, a soft plastic cover, nicely done instruction manual, and all the other extras like needles and bobbins. So far I have made some nice home dec type of things and hope to start a garmet next. The 7470 is very smooth running and sews nicely. The menus are very easy to use. It has a mirror image, repeat inifinity stitch and can handle double needles. The sewing area is wide and sturdy. The machine threads easily, the bobbin is drop in, and the needle threader really works!! So far I am very pleased and think I did good getting this one!

I bought this machine in Nov.2008 and have been using it for about 4 months now. I had an entry level Singer for 22 yrs and decided to upgrade to this electronic machine. I consider myself an intermediate sewer who mostly does alteration for my family(taking in, hemming up, etc), and some easy sewing such as pajama pants, window valances, pillow cases,etc.

I am very pleased with the Singer Confidence, especially the price for the functions you get.

2 things I totally enjoy: 1)the automatic needle threader is wonderful! The trick is to make sure you start out with the needle in the highest position, and just follow the pictures in the manual. 2) the auto thread tension works! The machine does adjust itself to the fabric. Although it's still very important that the correct needle size is used. For just these 2 things, I find it worth the money.
