Singer Craftmaker M35 * September Sale Offer * - Ergonomic design, 32 stitch patterns with 1 step buttonhole and auto threader, overlocking and stretch stitches - Easy to use, strong machine - sews silk to leather

I recently ordered and received a Singer M3505. It came really quickly and I love it. It is very easy to use which is great because I haven't much experience with a sewing machine. I started with simple things like cushion covers and I have progressed to pjs, nighties and lots of alterations to things in my wardrobe which no longer fit. I got lots of free gifts with my purchase and I have been delighted with everything. I was recommended the machine by Janice on the online chat. She was really helpful.
Thank you Singer Outlet.

Its a nice wee machine pretty quiet when sewing. Havnt tried all the stitches yet.

This was my first sewing machine and although it comes with picture instructions which are great, they are made for people who know where everything goes.
There are many demonstration videos on you-tube and I fully recommend watching one of these videos.
I got confused with the instructions 1 and 2 because I didn't realise that I needed to put cotton onto a bobbin and I got part way then was stumped. Fortunately my husband knew that I had to slide the bobbin to the right and he also told me that once it's full it will stop itself and you don't have to worry about it overfilling.
Then the bobbin case foxed me, I spent an hour trying to work out how to get the bobbin out of the bobbin case, gave up and went to bed. Next day I shared my frustrations with my husband who just popped the darned thing straight out as I stared in wonder. My error was to pull out the lever at the back but that is what you do to stop it falling out.
I do actually love everything about it and having the free arm to turn up trousers is brilliant it works perfectly. I'm still not sure how all the stitches work but I expect it's just a matter of playing around and watching videos.
I would have given this 5 stars but that automatical needle threader is almost impossible even with you-tube tutorials.

I find it a bit fiddly as my fingers and eyesight aren’t as good as they were. I haven’t yet mastered the needle threader which I thought would be such a help with my eyesight being as it is. I have to perch a magnifying glass to see to thread it. Everything much more compact than the older type machines which again makes it fiddly. Sews ok once it’s threaded.

I needed a sewing machine, that will handle thick material. My Singer sewing machine does this, with distinction. Thank u Singer, another happy customer
