My initial reason for purchasing this machine was to simply re-attach buttons to my dress shirts. The quality of even expensive dress shirts seems to have declined in the last few years and after just a few washings, buttons are coming off. I have tried hand sewing but could never seem to get it right. So I was looking on YouTube for tutorials and came across one that showed how to use a sewing machine to reattach buttons and the machine she was demoing was the Singer Start 1304. It looked so easy I decided to check the price on amazon and was surpised by the low cost. I mean this thing is about the cost of 2 or 3 of the shirts I buy for work.The machine is very simple but offers some really nice features like double needle support, reverse and 6 different stitch types and of course, a foot-pedal. It is very light weight making it very easy to setup and store. Now honestly I haven't touched a sewing machine in over 40 years and that was in an 8th grade home econmics class, but with in 10 minutes I had the bobbin wound, the machine threaded and was ready to go. After repairing 2 shirts, I was pretty pleased with my purchase and put the machine away, confident I could repair any of my shirts in the future.Then a day later, I was looking at my tablecloth on my dining room table. It has never fit right and hung way to far over the edges. So, I watched a quick tutorial on hems and then I trimmed the tablecloth down to the overhang I wanted (plus 1/2" seam allowance), got the machine back out of the closet and within 15 minutes it was done! It now fits perfect with an exact 8" over hang on all sides AND it looks incredible!I'm convinced that this machine is the gateway drug into the sewing hobby, because now I'm thinking custom throw pillows for the living room. Maybe a laptop sleeve, (yes this machine includes a "zipper foot"). As the headline states, be careful, this is a very addicting activity!

Very Good.The cables , both to be made 300mm longerFrom the standard height work table to foot pedal and to power point just short.

Se ha usado poco, pero ha funcionado muy bien.

Excelente le fascinó a mí esposa. Y precio inigualable

Cose bien, es sencilla de usar, fácil de transportar, solo un poco difícil de sacar la pieza donde se cambia el carrete chico que va adentro

Excelente producto y fácil de usar, se agradece que contenga el instructivo.

recién compre una maquina brother de 27 puntadas, por alguna razón no me agradó mucho, y compre ésta, que es mas pequeña que la brother, tenía mis dudas por tener solo 6 puntadas, pero oh sorpresa!!! las puntadas, están mas definidas, mas bonitas, es mucho mas fácil su manejo, el sonido al coser me agrada mucho.. en fin... estoy muy feliz de haberla comprado, definitivamente, me quedo con marca singer.... si llego a necesitar una mas grande, será de ésta marca.

Si esas haciendo costura sencilla, sin tratar de bordar o hacer puntadas sofisticadas la maquina funciona excepcionalmente bien, el embobinado y ensartado del hilo es facil y sencillo.Me hubiese gustado si el cable del pedal fuese unos 30 cm mas largo.If you are doing basic sewing, without anhy sophisticated stitches the machine works marvelously; it is easy to thread and use.I wish the cable for the pedal as just a foot longer

This was a gift for my granddaughter who is a new sewer. She is very creative, always has been, but never learned how to sew. I am teaching her now. She loves this machine. Simple, straightforward but with several special stitches, easy to use bobbin, and she loved having all the decals she could place wherever she wanted so she could be creative with making the machine her own as well. She's already got several projects in mind and with just recently buying a new house, one of those projects is curtains.

super easy start up. Very simple machine, definitely no bells and whistles, but works like a charm. My almost 8 year old received this as a christmas gift and was thrilled with it. Shes been sewing things together by herself for days. She need help with the treading, but could operate it all on her own within a few minutes. It does not have a fast/slow speed adjustment which kind of surprised me on a learners machine, but the foot pedal seems easy enough to control. There is a big easy reverse button on the front, which is nice. Well worth the price. My daughter also thought it was cool to be able to customize it with the stickers, which we used some as guide lines over the arm to keep material/sewing straight ;)

After years of not getting pants hemmed or being able to fix a tear in a pocket of my pants or jackets, I took the plunge and bought this unit when it was on sale for 35% off. I don't regret the decision even though I had never sewed in my life (and I've often regretted that boys aren't normally afforded the chance to take a few Home Economics Classes in High School, at least when I went to school). Many a time I wish that I had known how to sew and make a few basic repairs or alterations.Anyway, from a total neophytes point of view, I write this review.The manual if well written and includes numerous diagrams. A couple of things weren't entirely clear to me vis a vis threading and installing a loaded bobbin. I went to YouTube and looked up a few basic lessons there which certainly clarified the upper threading process. This process would likely have gone faster and easier if there had been 1 or 2 small sample spools of thread included in the accessory box. Trying to visualize the process without actually doing it probably slowed my progress. It was too late to go to the store that night to purchase some thread.The bobbin was a bit more of a challenge, at least for me. Initially I didn't have the thread properly inserted under the metal flap on the bobbin. In spite of that I managed to sew about a 1" repair in a pocket. I ran in to problems taking the item off the machine however. Since I didn't have the bobbin thread properly aligned it was catching on itself every other stich or so and was all but jammed with 7 or 8 threads coming up out of the needle plate when I had finished. I had to remove the needle plate to clear the mess (simple enough with the small "L" shaped screwdriver included).Back to the videos and another couple of read throughs for that section of the manual and I had the problem solved. I had to loosen the bobbin tension screw about 1/16th of a turn which then allowed the thread to slip under the flap to the correct position. Once I had this operation mastered sewing was relatively easy, though keeping the seam straight is another matter which only practice will make perfect.I practiced after that on a piece of paper (not having a lot of spare fabric pieces lying around to practice with. This was instructive since I could easily see the various stitch patterns that I tried, enabled me to practice the procedure for turning corners, reverse stitching at the start and finish to lock the seam etc.Armed with this practice, I removed my first repair stitches, refolded the fabric and pinned one small section to keep it aligned. A minute later I was all done and this time quite pleased with my results. I went on to repair a rip in the lining of the pants and to zig-zag lock stitch the web belt to keep the plastic buckle from sliding under tension. One pair of pants down and about 5 more that need hemming, repair a hole in a jacket pocket and when I get really ambitious I will replace the broken zipper on my favorite pair of insulated coveralls.This machine will have more than paid for itself by the time I do these projects. The satisfaction of being able to do these simple things myself is also well worth the investment.
