This is an easy machine for my 7 year old granddaughter to use. She is taking lessons and this is the machine used in her class. She is such a sewing enthusiast and this was sold at such a reasonable price, how could I resist but to purchase for home use? The simplicity of use and "needle down" option are most helpful for her. I'm sure in time, she'll be out sewing me. The variety and quantity of available stitches was also desirable.
I also thought I'd purchase this machine as a "back up" to my personal machine. My granddaughter and I both know... this is hers. She loves it!
The Singer 7470 Sewing Machine is a very good machine. I actually purchased it because of the automatic tension. I have never had a machine that I could get the sewing machine tension set right. This machine has automatic spot on the dial and it works so far for me. I am very pleased with that feature. The machine also has all the different stitches that I like to have on a machine. I am a quilter and I think this machine stands up to my more expensive machines that I do not plan on using anymore since I bought this one. I would recommend this machine to anyone. They say it is good for beginners but I think it is a machine for just about anyone.
I haven't used a sewing machine since 8th grade....17 years ago!!! I wanted a machine that I would be able to sit down and use, but that would also allow me to be easily creative. This machine does ALL that and SO MUCH MORE!!! The price was INCREDIBLE. I've been shopping for this type of machine for about 2 years and not found such a great deal, not even on the CHEAP brands, much less a SINGER!!! I am sooo pleased with this machine. My daughter loves her shorts and things that I've used this machine to "decorate." I am now teaching my nearly 13 yr. old to sew with it. She's so lucky to get to learn on such a fabulous machine! This is TOP OF THE LINE!
My old sewing machine was not computerized and I was concerned this new one would be too complicated and would cause delays in my sewing just trying to figure it out. BUT this sewing machine is very user friendly and has a lot of stitches to choose from. I am VERY happy with this sewing machine.
This machine is very easy to use; especially being a beginner like myself. The LCD screen allows one touch stitch selection, including decorative stitch and letters. The machine is very easy to thread as is the bobbin. I am very satisfied with this machine!
What I like most about the Singer Confindence 7470 is that it has so many special features to make sewing easy. I haven't sewn in a while so this machine made getting back into the groove simpler. The seller was very efficient in processing the transaction and shipping the machine. However, when the machine arrived it did not look exactly like the picture in the advertisement. Instead of the Confidence 7470, I received the Companion 7470. I don't knkow what the difference is but I was too anxious to use the machine. So, I din't return it. Overall, its a good machine. I purchased it to start making a new wardrobe for my kids and me and besides not having enough time to sew, I am doing pretty good.
I have owned several sewing machines in my lifetime, including another computerized model but this is the best I have used. It is the smoothest sewing of any that I have used including more expensive machines. The only disadvantage I have found is that the foot pedal sometimes does not immediately engage when pushed but this is only a minor thing.
I was going to buy a Husquavarna (very pricy) but when I read about this Singer machine and all the things it did for the price I decide to try it and I am so pleased. It does everything I hoped and more. The price was right for me - I loved the ease of ordering and received it very fast. I am very happy with this purchse.
I bought this for my wife after she saw it on MARTHA. I can't say enough good things about it. It works flawlessly. No foot changes are needed even for thick and multiple layer fabrics. The controls are easy to understand even without reading the directions. I would recommend this machine for anyone from a novice to a pro.
I love everything about this machine!! I knew I would because it is a Singer and a good machine for the money. The MONEY is the reason I bought it. I shopped everywhere for this machine and even with the SHIPPING charges added on, I still saved A LOT of money! I couldn't believe the price! I couldn't hit the buy it now button fast enough! I had enough money left over to get a dress form!
very quick service, answered all my questions knowledably. Would gladly purchase from here again. The machine is incredible. Practically does it all for you. Soooo Many Options.
Very nice machine and easy to use. I like the needle up/down option. It works well on heavy thicknesses of fabric and I really do like it. I had a singer for over 30 years, but this one is by far, easier to use in all ways, and it has been no problem at all.
