I was making so many face masks that I wore out my old singer. I felt so sad about not being able to take my machine anywhere to be repaired during "covid19 stay at home". It was also very hard to order a new machine, as everywhere they were sold out, so I was very glad for this singer site, after first falling for a scam site. I love the way my new singer sews and sings. I love that it is basic, heavy duty and easy to use, nothing computerized, it's perfect for me. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
