Then my daughter comes to me to say she is getting married and needs me to sew children's bridal dresses, wall panels, table runners, etc. I didn't even own a sewing machine! I fired up the computer and after a bit of research decided to give Singer 7470 Confidence Electronic Sewing Machine a try. I was a nervous wreck when I sat down to try it out the day it came. from Amazon.com My husband bought this sewing machine for me for our anniversary. I'm simply delighted every time I sit down to sew a project or do the humdrum, mending, primarily because of the variety of stitches available to meet my various needs. You see, I've had a bargain-priced Singer with only straight and zigzag stitches since 1972. Though to date I've only used three different stitches, this machine has lit the fire of creativity in me. from Amazon.com This is a versatile machine, not as smooth a feed as my older one, and has so far proved itself unreliable. The bobbin-winding mechanism has already frozen up, and the electronics are of no help in diagnosing what the trouble is. I have now been on hold for Singer Customer Service for over 30 minutes. I upgraded to this from my 25+-year-old Singer workhorse of a machine, and now I can even get a bobbin loaded, nor can I get thru to a person on their help line. from Amazon.com Before that, I'd been making due with an entry-level Euro Pro that jammed consistently. It was also a gift, and I didn't have the money to buy one myself. I was always afraid to sew anything ambitious on that machine, so right off the bat, the Singer is a 1000% improvement. It hasn't jammed once. from Amazon.com This is my 3rd Singer in 40 years. My first machine made countless dresses, pants, prom dresses, and upholstered a lot of furniture. from Amazon.com I have not sewed for a long time and consider myself an advanced beginner. I wanted to get back into sewing without spending a lot, yet I did not want just a basic machine. I found what I wanted with the 7470. It has a lot of cute decorative stitches and a couple built in alphabets in addition to the usual utility stitches. from Amazon.com I bought this machine in Nov.2008 and have been using it for about 4 months now. I had an entry level Singer for 22 yrs and decided to upgrade to this electronic machine. I consider myself an intermediate sewer who mostly does alteration for my family(taking in, hemming up, etc), and some easy sewing such as pajama pants, window valances, pillow cases,etc. from Amazon.com Machine easy to set up and use with the included CD and booklet. I understand Singer isn't what it used to be and the components are much cheaper (ie plastic) than my old non-Singer machine. That being said, I wanted a entry-level electronic machine with a few extra stitches. from Amazon.com After reading all the reviews here, I decided to buy the Singer Confidence 7470. I am new at sewing, yet I took a risk on a pricey machine. from Amazon.com At 37 years old, I have only been sewing for less then 2 months! I originally bought the Singer Simple model. It was a great tool in teaching me basic threading and sewing technique; but I quickly outgrew it! from Amazon.com
