I have been sewing for 47 years. My previous old reliable machine is 35 years old and always suited my sewing needs. I'm passing it on to my daughter. I decided I wanted a newer machine with more features since I am now retired. I want to sew more elaborate projects. I have had this machine for little over a month and have yet to try all the features. So far, however, I LOVE IT!!! Still learning more features as I go along. I look forward to having fun making quilts, curtains for my new home, things for my grandchildren. Singer reputation and reliability is why I chose this machine. My mother had her Golden Touch and Sew that she got in the 60's and used it until she passes at the age of 88 in 2008. The machine never went in for servicing. I'm sticking with Singer!!!!

I received the 7470 and opened it to find half of the parts missing. I called HSN and told them what was missing. HSN said, "oh were sorry". HSN said, just ship it back with the easy return label. Why should I have to pay for shipping it back when half of the parts are missing? HSN wouldn't even offer me another machine minus shipping. Every time I want to send something back to HSN all they do is give me the run around. I have gotten to where I don't even want to order anything from HSN anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had many sewing machines throughout my 50 years and this is by far one of the better machines I've used. It is very easy to dial up the stiches you need and there are so many. For the very first time, I actually picked up the book and read it. The only draw back is that the light is not very bright on the machine and I hate where the backtrack stitch button is located. Other than that it is a gem. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I am returning to sewing and wanted more than just a basic machine but did not want to spend a lot of money. The 7470 is perfect for my needs! It has the extra things I wanted like decorative stitches, no fuss drop in bobbin, extra feet, auto threader, alphabets, and intuitive menu. It sews beautifully--even and smooth. Don't miss this if it comes back to HSN!

As soon as my machine arrived, I tore the box open and started sewing! It takes a little getting used to because the speed of the machine is so much faster than my old one! Very easy manual. Singer has a great website you can go to if you need additional info on your model. Love the FLEXPAY! Thanks HSN! I would not have been able to afford this machine without it!

A great little machine but the writing..the letter "S"
is not the same everytime. Also some of the letters ran too close together. I sent it back with no problems as usual from HSN. I ordered the Brother embroidery/sewing machine...I wanted that one anyway.

I read reviews and researched for over two weeks. This one seemed to be the one, but alas, it is not. I received today and started sewing a BASIC project. Not 30 minutes into the project, the sewing motor SEIZED. I cannon figure out what is wrong, I was doing BASIC work. So frustrating. The turn wheel won't move, the motor strains. Junk! Don't buy. You will be much better off going to your local sewing store and buying a Janome or Baby Lock. I did try. Will be sending back tomorrow.

This is my first new Singer in 36 years. My old machine finally gave up. While happy with my new 7470 I was intimidated by the vast features; but, found that it is easy to learn. I am not trying to read the manual cover to cover; but rather, read areas that I need to complete a specific project. The overall quality measures up to a Singer product. I have tested sewing on leather, really thick layers and difficult fabrics. The machine handled it with ease. This is definitely a keeper.

We have only just started using this machine, but it is so easy to use my 8 yr old was able to start going on it without needing much of my help. So must be intuitive. Of course, the test of a machine is whether it holds up over time. So far, the quality exceeds my expectations. The many features are great. Only problem is I fear that I will never be able to get my hands on it, as my daughter won't stop sewing.

Ordered this machine 2 summers ago and much to my dismay it turned out to be defective. Took it to local sewing shop only to find that it would cost more to repair than it was worth. Luckily the problem was within the allowed time to return. So I did just that. I almost reordered it but decided against it. The customer service at HSN was great however. Kudos to them.

I just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this machine.I do a lot of quilting projects and this machine does not frustrate me at all.It does not jam up,sews through thick projects,does not skip stitches. My stress level has gone way down.It is like an extension of my brain and hands, even when I change things quickly.The little alphabet is fine.
Also, being able to toggle between the tacking stich(button) and the straight stich with my settings and any other patterns I use. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I researched a lot before I bought this machine,and I'm so happy I did! Awsome sewing machine,very easy to use. Manual pretty easy to understand and follow. I love the automatic needle threader,as my eyes not like they use to be.
I finished my first project today, a shoulderbag, and it was a delight to sew with this machine.
I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought this machine about a month ago and love it. I see that one reviewer had trouble finding bobbins, I use the bobbins from my old BabyLock they're just the plain old commonly available metal bobbins, and I have no trouble at all.
Love that ruffle foot.

This is a very versatile machine for general sewing and crafting. It would be good for both a beginner and an experienced sewer. My only complaint is with HSN. I wish they would offer bobbins and additional specialty feet. The bobbins are class 15J, which is a specialty bobbin and not readily available. None of the fabric stores in my area carry this size. HSN used to offer additional feet in specially priced sets, but I have not seen these for quite a while.

I am not a beginer but close. If you are a beginer this machine is a must for you. Please give it a try, it is so easy to use and the manaual is so easy to understand. I love the easy threading,(i can't see), and the bobbin tension is always right. I can sew anything. I had to set the tension on my old machine and just quit trying to sew because i could never get it right. Don't give up just buy this machine! I CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW HAPPY I AM! AND YOU WILL BE TO.

I bought this machine to do some family Items, but in the process we decided to make accessories for our Horse Racing Charoit team. Made from heavy vinyl, large banner type items (that should have been sewn on a comercial type machine) and this machine handled it so well I was very pleased. It did have some problems when sewing through 5 & 6 layers but for a home machine did wonderful. I have used this for about 2 months now and will recomend it highly.

I have had this machine for over a month now. I am an avid quilter and have used it a lot over the month. I have tried all the features and stitches on the machine and all I can say is I think this is a really nice sewing machine for the price. Very user friendly, the manual is easy to understand and set up and threading is a breeze. I highly recomment this sewing machine to all, especially beginners, because it is so user friendly.
