. Absolutely new to Singer brand and was wanting to hear all of your tips on this brand and model. Thanks for the shares in advance.
Welcome to the Board.
I have four Singer sewing machines. Newest is 1967 Touch & Sew 600, oldest is a 1910 Redeye Treadle, and 2, 401A's made it the 1950's. I can't speak for the plastic models, but my old ones sew like dreams, perfect tension, perfect stitches, very reliable. I can sew thorough almost anything, and multiple layers too. I think the main thing about any machine is to keep it oiled and cleaned out. I also have a 9 yr old cheaper, small Janome which doesn't hold a candle to any of my really old Singers. Hopefully they are still quality machines.
