(More customer reviews)I have been sewing since 1966.My machine is a Kenmore free arm purchased in 1976.I saw this Singer machine advertised at Tuesday Morning for just under $200; shop around for a great price before you buy. I did lots of reading reviews before I decided to invest in this.I did not want to choose something that was not quality or had lots of performance issues.This is the Singer Athena 2009, formerly named Singer Curvy.
I bought it online from Tuesday Morning, it shipped to my home and was well packaged. The machine was boxed in the Singer marketing box you would find on the store shelf, and then it was placed in a much bigger shipping box with bubble wrap and packing paper around it.UPS Ground delivered it in excellent shape.At this price, I thought it was time to put my Kenmore on the shelf as a backup machine only.
I unpacked, read the manual, set up the machine, watched the DVD about the machine and the other one about all the accessories and how they are used.I loaded thread on the bobbin, threaded the needle (it has an automatic threader, useful for our older eyes!), and ran some practice stitches.I am in heaven.I don't need a several thousand dollar machine; this will do everything I need.I was interested in the fancy stitching, like the feather, buttonhole, satin, and it has cut and serge (nice for sweatshirt type fabrics), and the hand quilting look stitches.It has plenty of additional decorative stitches to make me a happy camper. The clear bobbin lid allows you to see how much thread is left.It has an additional oversized extension table.The table on the machine can be removed to allow free arm sewing for small projects and it stores the loose feet and bobbins. It comes with lots of different feet, like ruffling, cording, etc.The foot pedal is comfortable to use, and it has a built in carrying handle.It sews beautifully and is somewhat quieter and smoother than my Kenmore.I am completely satisfied that my money was well spent and I will have this for many years.
