 A Simple Basic Sewing Machine that meets our needs |
| Review Date: December 11, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Ferb, |
My wife needed a simple basic sewing machine to repair and make adjustments to our clothes. We decided on this model based on the low price and the Singer name. As we understand there are more Singer machines in service than all other brands together.
We found the DVD that came with the machine very helpful and between that and the owner's manual the setup was easy. Since then she is using it from time to time and, as it fulfills all our needs at an affordable price, we must give it a high rating.
We would have hated to pay more for a sewing machine with more features that we were not going to use. This is a good reliable machine that fulfills our need for simplicity and ease of operation. |
Use the tension adjusters!

| This is my first sewing machine, the first time I've used one. I love it, and hate to see it's rating so low due to reports of bobbin jamming. None of the 3 complaints mentioned that they even attempted to adjust the upper or lower tension adjustments. My machine jammed up the first time I used it but I read the instructions and adjusted the tensions- problem solved. Adjusting the lower bobbin tension is a touchy feely operation, but not hard to do. From the instructions- "To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin and hold it by suspending it by the thread. Jerk it once or twice. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two. If the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all. If the tension is too loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, turn the small screw on the side of the bobbin case." There is a screwdriver included to make this adjustment. It clamps the thread, so a thicker or thinner thread could mean an adjustment is necessary. Mine needed to be loosened for the first spool of thread I used. This bobbin case is polished stainless steel, so it's not wearing out soon. I guess the screw might get loose someday, my local Jo-Ann fabric store sells new complete bobbin cases for $2.99. The upper thread tension dial requires a lot of adjustment depending on the work. A sewing machine isn't a hair dryer. They are complex weird monsters and there is a learning curve, no way around it. You've got to tune em like a guitar. This machine is heavy and stable and has a pleasant look and feel. It disturbs me there is no inclusion of oil or lubrication instructons. I doubt it's never necessary, so I got a tube of Official Singer Oil, a very thick oil with a look and smell like melted butter. I recomend it. I've only had my 2250 for a week. 5 stars so far. |
Just bought this one

| I just bought this machine, and love it. It runs so smoothly. The bobbin has not jammed on it, as others have complained. Perhaps they had the bobbin threaded backwards? That will make it jam up, because I've used older machines that have the same bobbin assembly, and you have to have the tension right, and the thread going in the correct direction, which is clockwise. |
Good serviceable machine

| I bought this machine yesterday. This is the first machine I've ever owned, and I hadn't even used one for about 15 years or so. On the whole, the machine is very easy to set up, although I was a little confused about how to set up the bobbin properly. Once I figured out how to properly thread the bobbin case, though, I was all set. I was able to sew 6 pocket linings in less than an hour with very little trouble. Time will tell if any other problems arise, but so far I think it's a good deal for a solid machine. |

We got this sewing machine as a x-mas present and were very excited to begin sewing. It was great to start with...for like the first 6 hours. The DVD was helpful, and it had the basics for what you need to get started. Of course I found sewing to be extremely easy, so in the spirit of D.I.Y. I started sewing like a mad man.
Well...wouldn't you know that after a short while the bobbin kept jamming. As a child I never remember this happening to my mom, and when I called her with the problem she agreed. I took apart the whole assemble, lubed it up, cleaned it...worked for a bit and then jammed even worse. I've never heard of such a thing....this is a total bummer.
I think I got a lemon, but regardless, we out grew this machine literally within hours. We've decided to return it and upgrade to the Brother computerized 60 stitch. We're very excited about it.
