Singer 3333 Fashion Mate

I've had the machine a week, and so far, so good. I'm a novice and haven't sewn in over ten years. But I'm semi-retired now and have more time for creative projects. I've swapped out a button on a purse for a magnetic snap using the button foot and stitch - super easy. And I added washable filter fabric to some masks - also easy. I'm looking forward to being able to hem my own clothes and do minor fixes.

I am a beginner but this machine has been just right. I sewed a skirt from a Simplicity pattern, a cape and a costume skirt, and have sewed for crafts on this now. I came from a vintage (like 1940s) machine, so some things feel odd, but overall it's done what I asked it to, correctly, every time. The hand wheel is small and weird, but having the bobbin up front is so nice. I wish there was more information on the stitches, but I found what I needed on YouTube.

This is a wonderful basic machine. It's easy to thread, accelerates smoothly and I absolutely love the drop-in bobbin. It's a good machine for a beginner or someone (like me) who only uses a machine for seams and zippers. It's very user friendly I am extremely happy with it.

My sewing machine which was probably 20 years old decided to not make anymore masks or sew one more stitch. Who would have thought there would have thought there would be a mad rush for sewing machines. But there was. So this sewing machine was worth the wait! It has everything I was looking for nothing fancy just a nice singer sewing machine with a few extra's. I can't wait to find out what it can all do.

Right out of the box, the instructions to sewing were very simple, from Threading the bobbin to sewing multiple projects the day I received it. The needle threaded took a couple times to learn but once I figured it out, it's such a life saver for these old eyes :)

Waaaaay different than my 55-yr. old current Singer! I couldn't figure out how to get the bobbin thread up to the needle. Then after watching a video, discovered it's automatic! How cool! This machine has more power than old one as well. Very happy!

This machine is SOOOO easy to use. I have owned 2 other singer machines in the past and only sew once in a blue moon. I went looking for something user friendly that even my 11 year old daughter could use without me getting a headache. This machine is it!!! So many improvements!

My daughter loves this machine and how easy it is to use! We also love the design (on top of the heavy-duty machine) that we know will last for many years!

It is so easy to carry and it's also easy to to work with. I downloaded the manual from the internet so I would be using it properly.

I am very disappointed. The bottom stitch is just "held" not linked with the top stich. You can pull it and all comes undone. I am a pro with many years of experience in all relating needlework techniques. I wish I had not given up my Elna. The ladies in my family use their "dated" Singer, so I thought I would use this Singer for small jobs.
