The Singer 7256 Fashion Mate sewing machine was awarded the Consumer Digest Best Buy Award for good reason.
Users love the easy controls and feature set. The high marks from other users mean we might have finally found a Singer option that reminds us why this manufacturer was the standard for home sewing machines for as long as it was.
Released in 2009, this model is an upgrade to the 7466 and if you look at the two side by side you’ll see that the design has been completely redone. It’s much more stylish with rounded corners and a fun, green splash across the bottom.

The sturdy base and boxy construction of the Singer 4411 Heavy Duty sewing machine are reminiscent of reliable machines we’re used to seeing from this manufacturer and it’s not just subliminal.
This machine does something special. It mixes some of the must-haves of today’s home sewing machines with power like a commercial machine so that hobbyists who need speed and strength in a light weight unit can have it without spending loads of money.

Just a few months old and the Brother CP6500 sewing machine is making waves. Underneath it’s sleek design and pink, rounded accents it is the exact copy of one of Brother’s most popular models but priced unbelievably low.
I’d seen it around Christmas and had included it in some of the online deals at that time but hadn’t done a full review. It’s time. Here’s a thorough look at all its features and stitches and a thought about why this is a great machine for anyone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune but wants enough variety from their machine to keep it interesting.

The Janome DC1050 sewing machine is a new model for 2011. No snazzy color accents here – just a super affordable machine with precision stitching, lots of automation, and a powerful DC motor. This one is obviously a powerhouse with a no-nonsense attitude!
It costs about the same as basic starter machines that come with a lot less. For about $300 you can buy a high quality machine with lots of automation built by one of the most respected brands in the industry. It’s the kind of deal that makes you feel like you’re getting away with something sneaky!

Initially, the Brother XR9000 sewing machine was available almost exclusively at Costco but it’s recently become available at several other locations. An included hard cover case and extension table, lots of automation and a low price are hard to ignore.
It might look familiar, too, as it’s identical to another popular Brother model – the SQ9000.

The Janome 3160 QDC sewing machine was built with quilters in mind. All the best quilting needs are built right in! Want to do other types of sewing? No problem.
Beautiful stitches are a given with Janomes but you’re also going to get an extra long extension table, the latest feed dog system, complete button operation for all functions and the whole thing is packed into a full-size machine that weighs just over 12 pounds.

The Janome JNH1860 sewing machine commemorates Janome’s celebration of 150 years of great sewing. It’s a great showcase of some of the best in automation and quick set up along with a beautiful collection of stitches.
This one’s not yet available online so I’m off to visit my local dealer to gather more information in the next day or two. Wanted to post this much, at least, to satisfy the request from a recent site visitor.

The Singer 2263 Simple sewing machine reminds me that nothing with a front-loading bobbin should ever be allowed to use the word “simple” in its name.
If you read the post I wrote about my run in with my mom’s old Viking machine, you’ll know that front-loading bobbins and I are not friends. They’re not impossible to use, they’re just not easy.
In fact, most people really like this machine except for one, repetitive issue – problems with the bobbin thread. Somehow, I’m not surprised.
