I begged my husband to let me have the money from one of the calves to help pay for my new machine and he did. Six months later,my house burned ,lost everything!

the machine i bought was brand new and they demo'd it in front of everyone and they also let us try it. I brought it especially for doing jeans and the material they had to try with was actual jean material and it was doubled and tripled and really worked. I have since hemmed several pairs of jeans on there and no problem doing it even my dh didn't believe it. I have used it for other things with no problems. I'm sorry to hear yours didn't work out good for you. Did you contact the manager of Singer about it? I had a Singer yrs ago and I was not happy with it but this one is different. They had three different machines and I bought the middle one. Maybe I was just lucky. Sue
