SINGER 230282412 MX231 Sewing Machine, White

Buenas maquinas

As an absolute beginner to machine sewing, I LOVE the Singer MX 231. It is simple enough to use right out of the box, and powerful enough for basic projects (I made a small quilt top within the first 48 hours of owning it :O). For absolute beginners to machine sewing, there is a steep learning curve -- I thread the needle manually, and have endured MANY thread jams as I tried to sort out tension and how to pick up the lower bobbin thread. (Best suggestion -- leave the factory settings along, tension of 4 is perfectly fine, anything else is disastrous :) Unfortunately the machine does not come with a print manual, I strongly advise you look at the manufacturer's pdf version, and although the quick start guide is enough to get going, it it not enough for beginners to understand their machine. I found YouTube tutorials essential (a shout out to 'LydiaSewsThings' for getting me through). My recommendations for success in using this affordable machine include spending time 'playing with it', make a few dozen rows of straight seams, and use premium polyester thread and decent fabric (DO NOT USE CHEAP DOLLARSTORE THREAD, OR IT WILL JAM FOR SURE). I HIGHLY recommend the Singer MX231 for beginners -- it's an affordable entry point into machine sewing and a powerful, reliable machine that will be perfect for small garment construction, crafts, and basic quilting projects. I love my new Singer, and hope you will too.

I’ve been using the SINGER MX231 sewing machine for a little while now, and I’m really impressed with how easy it is to handle. I like that it’s lightweight and portable, so I can move it around my crafting space without any hassle. I’ve tried several of the 97 stitch options, and I appreciate how smooth and consistent the stitching feels. I use the LED light all the time—it makes it easy to see what I’m doing—and the 1-step buttonhole feature is super convenient. I also love that it comes with a full accessory kit and a foot pedal, which makes getting started much easier. I find it perfect for both quick mending and creative projects, and I’m really happy with how reliable it is.

I use this machine alot and i haven't jad any problems. Its very easy to use, definitely could use a better manual and definition of what each of the upper dials are for or how to adjust them but other then that its great. Its my first new sewing machine, ive had 1 other second hand singer
