Thread: New Singer 160

has anyone tried out the new singer being sold at JoAnn's? What do you think of it?

Personally speaking, I wouldn't buy a new Singer, a old one, yes.

For the price they want you could get another machine with more features. I'm a little disappointed in it and I'm a Singer Lover!

I agree. I purchased mine from HSN and I enjoy using it but I wish it had the needle up/down feature. I am a Singer gal but I prefer my older singers. I have a Brother CS6000i and now this Singer 160 which are computerized machines but neither one of them work quite as well as the old reliable singers.
