I love this machine, it glides through stitches like a hot knife through butter. The feeder teeth give good traction and move the material through the machine perfectly.Even jean material. I had a 25 year old Kenmore sewing machine before I bought this one. I had never tried a singer machine before. My mother who went to school for sewing, at the fashion institute of New York, says that Singer is an excellent brand. So I bought this one after reading a lot of Amazons reviews and talking to her. I used to have such a hard time taking up jean pants on my Kenmore. Whenever I would get to the seam on the jeans, I would have to turn the needle manually, while hold the presser foot in the furtherest up position. This machine went right over the jean seams like it was not even there. It didn't get stuck, it didn't slow down, it didn't even sound strained at all. It just plowed right through it, like a champ. Love it.
I love the fact that it does not have one of those computer screens on it as well. Those are annoying.
This machine is easy to use, once you read the manual. I sat down and read the manual in about 45 minutes, from cover to cover. The manual has clear pictures and step by step instructions for threading the machine. Once I followed the instructions it was a piece of cake.
This machine also has the option to turn off the feeding teeth. Which is new. My last machine did not have that option and I could see that being a useful feature.
The thread spool sits on it side instead of upright which was new to me as well. One thing I had a momentarily problem with was, the spools thread holder slot on the top of the spool, caught the thread and then caused the thread to break mid sewing. If you encounter this problem turn the spool around and it solves the problem.
The machine uses standard bobbins so I am able to use all my bobbins from my old machine which was nice. However all of my pressure feet from my old machine do not fit on this model. The needle size on this machine is 90/14, if you were wondering what size you need for this model.The adjustment dials on the machine are solid and well made. I am very happy with my purchase and hope this machine will last me for years to come. I will tell everyone I know who sews about this great machine.

I just received the following product question about the warranty on this model.
"How long is the warranty of this machine? And if this product need to be shipped to Australia, can I get the warranty in Australia then?"
Here is my answer.
I just pulled out the warranty info on this machine, to look at, so I can answer your questions. The paper work says that it has a 25 year Limited Warranty. It says that the Sewing machine head is covered for 25 year for manufacturing defects. It has a limited 2 year warranty on the Motors, light assembly, wiring, switches, speed control and electronic components. It has a 90 day warranty on adjustments, belts, rings , bulbs and attachments.
As for you second question, I do not know if Amazon or anyone else ships to Australia. You would have to go the website you wish to buy it from and try it. If they ship to your county, I would think they would allow the purchase to go through and block your purchase if they do not ship there.
Your third question, can you get the warranty in Australia? Yes and no. The warranty is a contract that is legal binding that says that they will replace or repair you machine for defects. But they do not cover damage to the product. So if you or someone else or something else damages the machine (ex. tree falls on it) it is not covered. These damages could be covered home owners insurance, so check your policy. More examples of things not covered are drink spills, throwing it into a lake or dropping it. I know this because I used to be a warranty specialist at IBM (And yes, sometimes people really do throw their things into a lake.) But if your sew machine is defective they have to fix it or replace it. Here in the US they have approved repair shops in all 50 states for singer machines. I do not know if you have one where you are located. If it needs repair, you would most likely have to pay to mail it back to the US or Canada for repairs. Since this machine is so heavy, it would most likely be a better deal for you to buy a new one, then send it for repairs.
If the machine is dead on arrival, send it back to Amazon, they are very good about returns and will refund you money with out much problems. Sorry I can't be more help about shipping practices, but I am just a person who bought the machine and used it. I do not work for Amazon. I do not work for anyone. I am a stay at home Mom.
