SINGER Heavy Duty 6380 Sewing Machine with Extension Table & Accessory Kit | Strong Motor with Enhanced Piercing Power, 110 Stitch Applications, Full Metal frame, 1-step Buttonhole & LED Light

Great machine. Tons of accessories I'll never use, but for the creative they would be great. I gave 5 stars, though 4 might have been appropriate, because the auto needle threader is more tricky than I would like. It is difficult to use. I called Singer to get a manual. They sent me a link along with a couple videos demonstrating threading, etc. You will definately want to do that, too. The videos are clear and helpful. The manual is thorough and much needed. I am an experienced sewer, yet needed those details for this new machine.I had a Singer for 50 plus years! Sewed my sons clothes and created quilts, etc. With all those memories I was sad to replace it. But it would cost more to repair the old than to buy new. I wanted another Singer because mine had lasted so long!This machine is so much more powerful. I'm sewing a waterproof canvas patio cover. Incredibly better. I've sewn more than half on the old machine; and now, with this new machine, it stitches so easily! The straight stitches are a breeze, the added bulk of tie-down grips are much easier as the machine feels like its simply straight stitching rather than bogging and trudging through thickness. Awesome!I am very happy with this new machine and anticipate years of use.

So far, this machine has performed as expected. I haven't machine sewn in many years, so I'm getting reacquainted. It's easy to use & seems fairly sturdy. I do wish that the metal pressure foot plate was larger, to accommodate magnetically attached curbs, etc.

Great machine

I purchased this machine in January 2024 , I have tried to use it a few times, it works great for a few , then it starts jamming up in the bobbin area, I have removed bobbin, and have adjusted the bobbin base and put it back together, it sews great for a few and then does it again, I have changed bobbins, re wound bobbins, changed needles, changed the spool of thread, etc... I do not recommend this machine unless you have a singer dealer on hand, I am almost 2 hours away from the nearest one. Really is frustrating that this is considered a heavy duty machine, and I'm only peicing quilt blocks, well not many because i spend more time trying to trouble shoot this machine than sewing with it. If your heavy Duty is working great for you, perfect, mine is not. :(

Decided I was going to learn to sew. This has been great for fabric, it went through leather, but I would not use it to make leather seats for a car. That is a different machine need.

This was a hard decision but I did send it back. It didn't perform any better than my old one.

What is sewing machine for my grandson? He is the designer he loves. It works great for him. That’s what he expected to do. So easy to thread. He said all the functions perfectly and it’s got a lot of power behind it. He can so whatever he needs. He’s sold seats for his dad’s boat.

Mine makes knocking noises in reverse stitch and all S1 and S2 settings. In reverse stitch, it creates a rat nest of thread under the sewn seam and most times breaks the thread going through the needle. The loud knocking noises in all the various stitches indicates some type of internal timing issue, I believe. In straight stitch it works decently and can sew 4 layers of marine grade vinyl ok. Any more than that and you'd need a commercial grade walking foot machine IMHO. I am sending mine back for a replacement.
