Is the Singer Heavy Duty Sewing Machine Really That Bad?
I bought the model the OP is referring to. I wanted a machine that zigzagged. I had been using my mom’s old machine from 1948. I made over 3,000 masks with it and many project bags & grime guards for my Etsy shop. I would suggest before you get super into a project, try sewing a small piece in the thickness you want to make to be certain the machine will handle it. I have since upgraded to a Janome, but I still pull the Singer out when my Janome is in the shop.

I don't know, mine works great. I think people buy them thinking that they will go through anything. You still need to research something before you buy it. ' It's meant for heavier fabrics at a hobbyist duty cycle. If you are sewing a little bit for fun and you plan on doing denim or canvas it's probably great for the price. If you are sewing 5 oz pleather goods 5 hours a day and your small business can't run without it, then you probably got the wrong machine. ' There are performance tests on YouTube where people sew layers of denim until the performance drops. These things can handle quite a bit with a good setup and some care. It just can't do it continuously.

If you are happy with it and the results, it’s the right machine for what you need! It should have come with a manual? Give it a read and follow the care instructions. And the threading instructions. As long as you treat it well it should return the favour! Using the correct needle, correct thread and stitch length, you should be fine for most things. I don’t recommend trying the buttonhole though, unless you want to tear your hair out in frustration. Depending on the fabrics you plan to make curtains from, you should be fine. (I have sewn professionally, OMG some sewists are rude and judgmental).

The reviews I saw were good- we just got one based on them. That said, my husband has broken 4 needles trying to use is it (obviously we need to adjust something)

Got one on sale around 10 years. It gets pulled out a few times a year for projects including curtains, rugs and tablecloths and has never missed a beat. (if you don’t count the times I’ve threaded it wrong, forgot I’m supposed to oil it, or bumped the tension dial accidentally).

My Granny sure used hers without issue for numerous ...... forever basically. I've not used it but idk that anyone else I know with one enjoys using theirs as nearly all of them got rid of are trying to get rid of theirs. And now that I'm saying that I realize it's one of the most common models I find people selling. But it might really just be because there are less people sewing.

Related and unrelated question: does a "Singer Merritt 1862" qualify as an "older Singer?" I know its not an all-metal Singer treadle machine or anything, but its what I have. Related because i was considering the Singer HD6380 if i could get a deal on one

Perfectly fine, and should last you plenty long.

I have had good luck with mine for occasional projects. I made a frame bag out of 500d cordura and I also made a sleeping quilt with some ultralight fabric and it did both without any trouble.

The hell is wrong with people these days... You got a machine that you have personally *proven to work for you*, yet you still give a rats arse about what some internet nobodies think. Live your sow life, and live it freely.

I don’t think you made a mistake, it’s going to work and you are going to be able to make things with it! I took a beginning sewing class and the teacher used those machines for students who needed to rent and I used one a couple of times— my only complaint is it really wants to go fast, lol. It took me a while to figure out how to get the pedal to go slow. We used it on upholstery fabric, so I think you’ll be fine for curtains!

My first machine was a singer heavy duty and it works just fine for hobby sewing. For $100 you really can’t go wrong, you could turn around and get your money back. Is it top of the line? No. But you can definitely get use out of it. If you really want a BIFL machine i’d keep my eye out for singers from the 50s and 60s. You can find them for $50 on marketplace and they’re built like tanks
