Twin needle sewing creates two parallel rows of stitching, adding a decorative touch to any project. </p>  <b>Push-Button Stitch Selection</b>  <p>Twelve of the most popular stitches are accessible with one touch. The rest of the stitches are just a few clicks away. The stitches are set with the optimum settings for length. Drop feed is handy when sewing quilts, monograms and adding creative touches to your sewing projects. </p>  <b>Stitch Locking Function and Automatic Back-Tack Function</b>  <p>Tie-off decorative and straight stitches with just a push of a button. Reinforcing the end of seams ensures quality stitches, avoids unraveling and provides stronger stitching. </p>  <b>Automatic Tension</b>  <p>This system ensures stable stitch quality, whatever type of fabric you use. Feel free to override the preset tension for special project settings. </p> <b>Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter</b> <p>The extra high presser foot lifter offers more clearance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under the presser foot. </p>  <b>Heavy-Duty Metal Frame</b>  <p>This rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect alignment for skip-free sewing. </p>  <b>Six-Segment Feed Dogs with Box Feed</b>  <p>A specially designed feed dog system ensures the fabric is picked up and supported from the front of the presser foot to the rear. The box feed motion moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather than the historic arc motion. It assures perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot. </p>  <b>Center Zigzag Taper</b>  <p>When tapering with the zigzag stitch, the stitch tapers to the center, not the left or right; this provides a more attractive look when tapering into or out of a point. </p>  <b>7mm Stitch Width</b>  <p>Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7 mm. When sewing decorative stitches or satin stitches, the wide stitches are bolder and more pronounced. </p>  <b>Automatic Presser Foot Pressure</b>  <p>The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot against the feed dogs is automatic. Sew from the lightest weight tricots to the heaviest denim without making pressure adjustments. </p> <b>Automatic Bobbin Winding Clutch</b> <p>The needle bar automatically disengages when winding the bobbin, making bobbin winding safer. </p>  <b>Electronic Stitch Formation</b> <p>All stepper motors are electronically controlled. Digital control of the stepper motors allows for perfectly formed stitch patterns every time. </p>  <b>Thirteen Needle Positions</b> <p>Needle positions can be changed for individual projects, such as inserting zippers or cording and topstitching. </p>  Bobbin Class: 15J Light Bulb: 2 Staybright LED Lights Needles: 2020 & 2045   Consumer's Choice More people own SINGER machines than all other brands combined.     98 Built-In Stitches  Ninety-eight built-in stitches offer a large variety of stitches for construction, fashion sewing, quilting, heirloom, crafts, home decorating and decorative sewing, and always ensure the perfect stitch for every project.  <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/singer7469/8essential._SL310_.jpg" alt="8 essential stitches" height="151" width="310">8 essential stitches are the core stitches of construction and mending. <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/singer7469/77decorativestitches._SL310_.jpg" alt="77 decorative stitches" height="146" width="310">77 decorative stitches create special details on any project. <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/singer7469/6stretch._SL310_.jpg" alt="6 stretch stitches" height="163" width="310">6 stretch stitches are specially designed to move with your fabric. <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/singer7469/7buttonholes._SL310_.jpg" alt="Buttonholes" height="148" width="310">6 fully automatic one-step buttonholes and one endless buttonhole.    Accessories Included <ul> <li>All-purpose foot</li><li>Zipper foot</li><li>Satin-stitch foot</li><li>Blind-hem foot</li><li>Buttonhole foot</li><li>Even-feed/walking foot</li><li>Darning & embroidery foot</li><li>Open-toe Foot</li><li>Straight-stitch foot</li><li>Needles</li><li>Bobbins</li><li>Auxiliary spool pin</li><li> Thread spool felts</li><li>Spool caps</li><li>Seam ripper/lint brush</li><li>Screwdriver</li><li>Extension table</li><li>Foot pedal</li><li>Power cord</li><li>Instruction manual</li> </ul> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/singer7469/7469accessories269._SL269_.jpg" alt="Accessories included" height="140" width="269"> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/singer7469/7469bonusquilitingfeet._SL200_.jpg" alt="Bonus quilting feet" height="124" width="200">Bonus quilting feet  <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/Singer/SingerLogo._SL200_.jpg" alt="Singer logo" width="200" height="153"> About SINGER <b>SINGER is sewing made easy.</b>  Founded in 1851, Singer is one of the world&rsquo;s leading sellers of consumer and artisan sewing machines, and one of the world&rsquo;s most trusted and recognizable brands.

I came here to read the reviews for this machine and it looked like this was the machine for me so I bought one in November. After one week the machine started squeaking really loud.  I figured I would live with it and eventually have it looked at to see what could be done.  It was annoying but seemed to be something that I could take care of myself.
<br/>
<br/>Then three weeks later, the foot pedal stopped working right in the middle of sewing.  Dead as a doornail.  I called Singer for help. No answer all day. Then I emailed them. No answer. Then a few days later I went to their website and contacted them from there. No answer for a day. Then I received a canned email saying they would get back to me in 3 days. 
<br/>
<br/>More than a week went by with no response. So, I boxed it up and returned it to the seller I bought it from.  The seller's service was GREAT. Had my refund in 3 days.  I just heard from Singer a few days ago...I had already returned the machine by the time they responded.  They told me to take my machine to the nearest Singer repair shop (which is more than an hour away).  I think they could have just offered to send me a new foot pedal...seems simple to me...my data is on file since I registered the machine on their data base.  This seems like very poor customer service to me.  I went with another machine of a different make.
