SINGER M1500 Lightweight & Portable Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit | 57 Stitch Applications, LED Light & 4-step Buttonhole | Great for Quilting, Crafts & Mending

Amazing starter machine!! I ordered a different one originally but I could not figure it out. My mom recommended this one and man did it work great! It was easy and functions smoothly. There’s several little accessories that came in handy. It’s not a super loud machine and has plenty of stitching options that are super easy to understand. I made my daughter her first birthday dress and the machine made it so easy.

Easy to Use and Perfect for Beginners Lightweight but sturdy. Very easy to set up and great for simple sewing projects. Stitches smoothly and works well for home use.

I needed something small and simple to hem curtains and fix kids’ clothes without running to the tailor every time. This lightweight sewing machine has been a total win. Setup took minutes, threading is easy, and it sews straight and zigzag stitches smoothly on cotton and denim. The foot pedal feels natural, and the light helps see everything. Done several pillow covers and pants hems in a weekend with no jams or tension issues. Super quiet, easy to move around the house, and stores in a drawer. Great for beginners or anyone wanting a compact machine. Already recommended it to my sister.

It's a good well-working sewing machine for the beginner like me who has never sewed with a machine before in his life

Before you even touch anything on this machine after unboxing it, go to Singer.com and watch the tutorial on how to operate it! When I opened the bottom to thread it the metal ring with clips that holds the parts in so you can safely remove the bobbin holder was not clipped in and the entire piece fell out. Luckily they have a great short video on how to thread and operate all the functions on it and I was able to put it back together correctly. Having said that, while I'm not a pro seamstress, I do know how to operate a sewing machine and I can tell you that a beginner would not be able to just set this up and sew without watching the tutorial. You're definitely going to have to put forth an effort to learn how to thread it and all of it's functions if you're not familiar with a sewing machine because the instructions are confusing and not very helpful even for someone with experience. It jams very easily as well. It is definitely light weight though and the foot pedal is a dream come true. I'm happy with it for the price.

I had a Singer sewing machine that was more than 40 years old. Still working but realized I needed an upgrade. Finally decided to go for a new model, and thank goodness I did. Love this machine, super easy to use, the stitches look so professional, super light compared to the 20 lb old Singer, I can carry it with one hand! LED light, features are very similar to my old one, except for a couple of things, but there are plenty of videos to help and I can download the manual online. By the way, I'm NOT a seamstress, so I have to buy something that was very easy to use, and this sewing machine didn't disappoint. Great quality.

I've had the same Singer since 1985. It was easy to use and very reliable. Then it broke and was not worth repairing. I've had this new machine for four months, and I am so done with it!! It freezes up and I end up with multiple threads coming out of it, or all kinds of loops of thread inside the bobbin case. I took it in to a Joann store. They didn't have a repair person there but two separate people told me the case must be wobbly. I used a screw driver to tighten the screws. They were a little loose. But, no, the problem still exists. So frustrating because I have several pieces I need to work on right now, and I've got to find a repairman. Don't buy this machine.

This machine works very well as advertised. The weight of the machine is much lighter than the old style Singer it replaced. The light weight presents a small issue that is easily remedied. Due to its light weight, it slides easily on what ever surface it is placed on, which makes operator control difficult. The surface of the table I was using is a fiberglass folding table. The six plastic/hard clear material the foot pads don't control the sliding too well. EASY FIX though is applying stick on soft rubber pads on each of the feet under the machine. That solved the issue in minutes. At this price, it is a fantastic home sewing machine for above average use. I have recommended it to both family and friends that sew.
