Wow, what a price drop from when they were released. Not interested at all, but I bet there are some bummed people out there that paid $600..

And thats a statement about perceived vs. REAL value. real value endures!

If a person doesn't try the new ones, how is he / she going to know about them?

The way I look at it, any machine with the two piece plastic bodies is junque. I've seen several of them apart at the LSMS, and I even had a 2005 vintage Singer apart myself and found them lacking in quality beyond my ability to express it.

Personally, I wouldn't buy ANY new Singer, regardless of the cost.

There was a lot of "Talk" about this machine here when it was first released, and several gals bought them. Many chimed it about how "cute" is is. Several of us pointed out that it lacked speed control and needle up/down and at $400+ it should at least have those things, to say nothing about the quality of the newer Singer machines. The harp size is tiny compared to the large size of the machine. I wondered what in the world Singer was thinking to release such a machine,.....I wonder how many fell for it..... I see they have released a similar machine in white....so maybe it did sell well. I'll take vintage when it comes to Singer's.

Joe, your review made me genuinely laugh!

Was it really that awful? Yikes.

About a year ago, when I took up sewing (and knew even less than I do now, hard to imagine (*wink*) ) I considered one of these. They were going, used, for a few hundred. In the end I went vintage, my Avatar Clone here for $35, and I have not looked back. I -adore- these oldies!

It sure is a shame if they are indeed as awful as you say.

Haha! There's not much difference of opinion, is there? Obviously, the board is saying DON'T BUY IT!

I used to sell those machines, they're not a very good machine.I was shocked that it was priced at $600 when they were first brought out on the sales floor. They are noisy as are the majority of the new Singer machines. Its a Singer Curvy in a new dress.
