Singer Machine on HSN
 

I wrote them to ask what the harp space is. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar machine. This one will be on the market next year, and comes with many extras.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a new Singer, an old Singer yes, but this is my personal opinion. I would go to a dealer and see what they have in new machines and also for trade ins that are usually higher end machines, that the person has traded up and get it for a much better price than if the machine was new.

Singers used to be a great machine. I still have mine I got in 1980.

I agree totally.

Harp looks very small to me. I have a Singer bought in 1962 and a clone. All metal parts and bobbins.
Check out All Brands and see what they have. I bought a Brother 1500, great machine, great price. Great for piecing and quilting. 9" harp.

I think I would shop around a bit.

I also saw it. The harp looked small - the entire machine looked small - but lots of extras. Not sure how easy it would be to return it after using it a week or two. May be worth it.

I checked it out after seeing this post.. the amount of extra feet it comes with is impressive.

It all really depends on what features you want and how much you're able to spend. A lot of folks are against Singers, but I got the Singer Quantum in december, and totally love it! I also have a 45 yr old Kenmore that I will never part with, it is a true workhorse, even survived a flood! But I don't think they make any machines like those anymore, but not very many features on it either. Also, check Amazon, I got my Quantum (regular 329, for 249 w free shipping)

I bought it!!! Plus I have my first singer I bought in 1973 plus 2 other singers, also 2 brothers and a simplicity I love them ALL. Just depends on what you want or need.
