I am a total beginner when it comes to sewing. Yes, I used to play around with my moms machine when I was a teenager but haven't touched a machine in about 10 years I guess. Then I thought it would be cool to start again- from scratch- so I started looking around and ended up with the Singer 1748. The setup was easy and soon I was doing my first test stitches. The machine was already pre-adjusted so I had no problems at all. It also came with a cover and a baggy full of accessories. The manual gives you step by step instructions on how to get started and how to program the machine and change the settings for different stitches. I actually finished a pillowcase within a few hours of playing around and it came out pretty good. The only thing I didn't like? I thought the instructions about how to change settings for the different stitches was a little bit irritating to me. It took me a little bit of playing around and just trying to figure out how to set the dials to get the desired stitch. Other than that- a good product if you are a beginner and don't want to spend to much money on a sewing machine but still want quality.

The Singer 1748 is a great little machine for the money. I do a lot of sewing for my children and grandchildren and it has been a work horse. I don't need all the fancy bells and whistles when I want to sew. It does have 32 different stitches and a buttonholer, a free arm and some other little features. I bought this when my other Singer that was over thirty years old finally died. My old Singer was a basic model so when I was looking for a new machine, the Singer 1748 caught my eye and I have been very happy with it. I have made small baby quilts, clothes, and a comforter on the machine and didn't have a problem. I have read good and bad things about the machine but I believe it is a very good machine. I have used it a lot and it has been very good to me. I like to sew and make clothes or whatever my children or grandchildren need. My children think that I made a good choice when I bought the Singer 1748.
