Singer Kitchen: Singer 6038 46 Stitch Function Sewing Machine

Average Rating:

I really only planned to use this sewing machine in order to make some window valances and cornices for my house, and I have found that it is very simple to use and heavy-duty enough to handle thick upholstery fabric. It doesn't have a zillion and one different stitches or other bells and whistles, but it certainly has enough to meet the needs of somebody who is not an advanced seamstress, and yet it is still not an "entry-level" model. For what I was planning to do with this machine, I really didn't need all of the stitches and other bells and whistles.

As it turns out the Izek arrived quite quickly and after watching the video that arrived with it, I decided to return the Izek and keep the Singer 6038! The video for the Izek demonstrated the laborious process of programming in the kind of stitch you wanted to make, every single time you wanted to change a stitch. With the 6038, all you had to do was turn a knob to achieve the same result. The choice between the 2 machines seemed like a no-brainer. The 6038 is a great machine, reasonably priced, and easy to use. Within 2 days of owning this machine, I had made 2 huge valances for my kitchen, and now I look forward to making more. I highly recommend this machine to anybody who is new to sewing, but does not want the most basic model out there. Within 10 minutes of unpacking this machine, you will be well on your way to many creative projects!
