Singer Heavy Duty 5523 Sewing Machine (white)

I've used a few sewing machines in my life and been greatful to do so, however some are so much trouble it makes using them an annoying frustration but not this one.I'd been struggling along with a brother for months until my patience finally snapped. Remembering the olden days of my mother's Singer that would sew with hardly any problems I decided to get one myself and am now so happy 😊 I did.This machine has sewn through layers of elastic, leather, denim, corduroy, light cotton, taffeta etc absolutely effortlessly so far. The only time it's struggled is when I haven't set the tension correctly, which isn't much. It makes my brother feel like a rubbish joke Christmas cracker toy.I expect this machine will outlive me by at least 50 years especially since it has no computerised parts to fail. I was reluctant to spend so much and thought about it for months but now have no regret whatsoever for buying it. I'm in love 😍 with a sewing machine and it's great.

A classic Singer sewing machine. Good quality build. Simple, reliable & functional. Worked perfectly out of the box & has continued to do so. Perfect 👍

Previously used A Singer 4423,decided to try 5523,Very happy with machine,sturdy,very stable on table, and easy to use.Singer as always so reliable.

Bought as a present for my daughter who makes unique bags and nicknames. Copies really well with heavier materials. Easy to use.

When I first saw this sewing machine I thought No! It looks plastic , chunky and cheap. How wrong was I!!!When I opened the bow I thought wow, how nice it actually looks. It’s quite smart and looks strong. It was easy to use and quick to thread. I stitched a fleece hoodie with ease. I also made a cushion very fast. I’m so glad I changed my mind and got this machine.

Really disappointed . Dont sew frequently so have held off review until used a few times . Plastic footplate and foot lever- feels cheap. Paper thin cover . Not clear at all where 5/8 sewing line is when using. Only good thing is built in needle threader . Disappointed as had previous singer 35 years so trusted brand . Would return for refund if could.

I am a crafter and I regularly upload crafting videos to my YouTube channel. I had been looking for a reliable sewing machine that can do the triple stretch stitch and also deal with heavy materials so that I can sew bags. Singer has long been a reliable Brand and when I saw this heavy-duty sewing machine at a reasonable price, I immediately bought it. I am loving every moment of using it. Since purchasing it, I have already upcycled a laptop bag into a school bag for my daughter with wonderful results. Everything about this machine is a joy. It also has a drop feed mechanism so you can do free motion quilting and embroidery. The speed is fabulous. I do not care much for the automatic needle threader but it is a convenience if your eyesight isn't perfect. I have decorated it with a couple of homemade stickers and I shall add more in the upcoming years. You can see this machine at work on my YouTube channel Ooni Crafts. I would highly recommend this singer heavy-duty sewing machine for beginners and advanced sewists alike.

GatesheadNeedle threader does not work. As a glaucoma sufferer I really rely on this facility. Can you give me any reason why I have this problem?Needle
