Excellent for free motion quilting
By ELIZABETH
I have owned this machine for several weeks now and it performs beautifully. The stitches are perfect, but more importantly, I do a lot of quilting and own several sewing machines. This machine drops the feed dogs and performs free motion quilting the best of any machine I've ever owned ... and that includes top of the line very expensive machines. If you like free motion quilting, this machine will do it without any problems.The only feature I would add on this machine is the up/down button ... I wish it had that feature ... but even at that, this machine is worth every penny I paid for it.I am very happy with this machine and I have absolutely no problems or hesitation in giving it 5 stars in rating. I have been using this machine and I know what it can do and what to expect of it.I highly recommend this machine to anyone who likes do do free motion quilting or would like to learn this technique. The other decorative stitches perform well and I have done table toppers using the decorative stitches as quilting stitches and I did not have to use a walking foot to achieve perfectly spaced stitches.

By BankerBethy
I had been considering purchasing this machine since Singer came out with it in February but didn't make the purchase until late May because of the negative reviews other purchasers had written. I finally bought it regardless of the reviews stating that it was loud and of poor quality with low functionality... THOSE REVIEWS ARE WRONG!This machine caught my eye because it's absolutely beautiful unlike my Fashion Mate which is an eye sore when left out in my home. The machine sews beautifully, has most of the same stitches that my last Singer had, and the large sewing space makes quilting extra easy. One review that I read stated that the machine being plastic scratches easily and I can see where that would be an issue because of the black color but I feel like that's normal wear and tear. There is a very large compartment underneath, three times the size of regular machines, to store extra bobbins and tools. Overall this machine is everything I could have wanted.A lot of the reviews I read said the machine was of a low quality and those people said they were taking the machine back to get a Viking or other expensive brand. In my personal experience Singer has never been of the same quality as Viking considering that Singer machines are a third of the cost! You get what you pay for... I have ALWAYS been a Singer user. I started sewing on my great Grandmother's treadle machine from the 1920's as a small child, it is still in my home today. Like everything else made in this day and age, I can't see this machine still being functional in 100 years like my great Gran's machine.If they are still available and you are thinking of purchasing this anniversary edition I would encourage you to buy it... it is well worth the money!

Priced well, many useful features--but there are other choices
By Joanna Daneman
Singer is now part of SVP, who make Viking, Pfaff and Singer in a factory in Shanghai (the Latin American ones are made in Brazil.) They are now very well manufactured in my experience, and competitive.This machine is an electronic machine, meaning you select the stitches via a button rather than turning a knob, and there are a lot of features for the price, although you CAN get the same features or even more for a similar price from Brother, who dominates this end of the market. And it has been styled to reflect the iconic black and gold machine we sewed on in the last century, a machine found in most homes in America.This Anniversary Limited model gives you 30 stitches, including two automatic buttonholes, and an extended bed, to hold fabric that is larger, say, quilted items or home decor projects. There are a lot of accessory feet. Here's what you get:Feet:Zipper FootButtonhole Foot with Underplate (makes the automated one step buttonholes)Blind Hem FootSatin Stitch FootPack of NeedlesBobbinsThread Spool CapsAuxiliary Spool PinSpool Pin FeltNeedle Plate ScrewdriverSeam Ripper/Lint BrushSoft-Sided Dust CoverStitchesSeveral stretch stitches (for knits)12 Decorative (embroidery) stitches including feather, ladder and star or daisy, which are important for quilting or heirloom style sewingRegular stitches (blind hem, straight, zigzags, etc)The one step buttonholes (straight bar end, no rounded style)Drop down feeddog (lets you do free stitching without the feed dog, and without having to put a cover over the feed dog.)LED display shows the number of the stitch selected and the stitch length, width.The SwiftSmart threading and Drop & Sew bobbin systems (easier to thread, easy to drop in bobbin.)What you DON'T get:Automated start-stop (needle stays up or down as you choose, pretty much a desireable feature for quilting.)Rounded end buttonholes or knit style buttonholesSpecial feet such as cording, piping, invisible zipper, hemmer (these you have to buy extra and count on eight to twenty per foot!)Machines that compete in this price range:Janome DC1050 fifty stitches and automatic up-down (so better for quilting, and Janome is known for a jam-proof bobbin --they hold a patent.) Also the dealers are widely available.Brother CS6000i Sew Advance Quite a bit less, sixty stitches, extended table (like the extra long table on this model, but removable) widely available service locations, not as good a bobbin (in my opinion) but still a big bang for the buck. Neither of these alternatives has the cute styling of the Anniversary Limited model and look utilitarian. If you have a home filled with vintage decor, you may want the looks of the Singer for esthetic reasons, but despite this being a robust, well-designed and feature-filled machine, you can get more features or spend less and get more features if you look at alternatives. Summary: very good offering, cost is good for what you get, but this is a competitive arena in sewing and there are other choices.
