Im a graphic/fashion designer and performer-I embody my brand every day. I'm designing a fashion brand that appeals to the generation of rebirth and revival; this sewing machine gave me more than enough opportunities to create new out of old. I was hesitant at first to buy a sewing machine because I hadn't used one since Home Ec in middle school. I wanted a durable machine with enough power to mend denim and the precision to make custom embroideries. The setup is easy, and the manual is very straightforward. I am so glad I went with Singer over any other brand because it's a terrific value.
