I was not too sure if this product would work at all as it is so reasonably priced. I works for me and there is no worry about threading or bobbins. It does what the specs say it will do and it is wonderful for mending.
This is my son and daughter's first time sewing and they are able to use this sewing machine easily. The slow speed made it easy for them to guide their stitch. The faster speed is okay for my sewing. We love it. If you sew a lot, you may want a faster sewing machine.
I bought this for the main reason of creating my own Halloween costume. It's proformance is excellent. I bought Singer because it's now of the oldest names in the sewing Industry. I used it to place zippers and stich holes. I plan to make other things with it like dresses and quilts. I love the modle and it's well worth the money.
This machine is light weight and super easy to use. It sews equally well on denim and silk. I couldn't be happier and my grand daughters can also use it with ease.
I initially purchased the Vivo to make one small repair to a curtain panel. Since I assumed I would rarely use the machine, price was the main selling point; The other selling point was appearance. The Vivo was the cheapest thing on the aisle that appeared less like a bedazzled toy and more like a real sewing machine. The Vivo appeared solid despite the hot-orange, swooshy theme (apparently all sewing machine manufacturers are under the impression that men are brut ogres and only Victorian women sew, almost all newer sewing machines are sporting a stereotypical feminine, sparkly, floral, day-glo or otherwise whimsical themes). Setting up the Vivo was easy enough. The instructions were clear and it took me less than 20 minutes to complete the whole threading process and sew my first stitch. It took me another 10 minutes to replace the broken needle and rethread the machine correctly, however, before I could sew a second stitch. I found the problem to be in the tensioner, I had threaded through the little hook shaped plastic bit instead of simply wrapping the thread under it. I still don't know what the hook looking thing is for. In any case, it took only a minute to get the tension figured out and I have been sewing ever since! After repairing the curtain panel that I originally purchased the Vivo for, I've gone on to sew three complete sets of lined drapes, two valances, two shower curtains, and dozens of odd repairs to clothing. The Vivo has not only held up to all this sewing, its done so without major error or complaint and has twice over paid for itself! The only problem I have had is an occasional uneven bit of stitches. It doesn't happen often, and when it does it is only for an inch or two then it will begin placing the stitches correctly again. When I first noticed this I thought I was pulling on the needle but, no. In any case, it's hardly noticeable and I usually just keep on sewing. Pros: It sews. It's inexpensive. It has enough basic stitches to do basic sewing without a bunch of fancy options and doo-dads to confuse, confound and tempt me! Cons: Only two speeds... both too fast for curves. Cheap foot pedal. Cheap LED light.
Originally purchased to make (among other things) seat cushions for an outsized chair. Disappointed when I discovered there was no zipper foot among the accessories. I'm hoping to be able to purchase this accessory on line. Any suggestions? A zipper foot is essential in sewing piping . However, this is a good little machine for someone like me who has sewn all my life and can no longer lift or carry heavy items. This is light weight enough and has a carrying handle. I was a little surprised at how much noise it makes but I put a towel under it and that seems to cut down on the noise. For the money this is a good machine for a small apartment or someone like me who has sewn all my life and had sewing machines with all the bells and whistles and can no longer do the things I used to do. Also good for a novice sewer to learn on.
At first I had trouble with the tension but then once I worked it out the machine ran great. The only issue I have is that the stitches are smaller then I thought they were. The zig zag is small for sure but the stitches are tight that is good. it also finishes the seam ends real nice since the stitches are small and tight. I would reccomend it.
Well... The hook timing is horribly made. I was sewing and it messed up I exchanged it. No problem. New one. The black part that holds the bobbin was not in correctly. So the machine wouldn't work. ( never used the 2nd one) do not purchase
This machine stinks! Don't waste your money. the thread broke every time I sewed about an inch of fabric. that got old fast. I am an experienced sewer; I loosened the bobbin tension, the thread tension, and the tension dial on the machine to no avail. Don't waste your money on this. Spend $20 more for the brother JX2517. It's a great little machine.
I am having a problem with the thread bunching up underneath and the needle thread breaking. Could be operator error but not sure at this time. Will keep trying to figure it out. Not too happy at this point.
