I bought this machine on Dec 21 of last year. The machine is sturdy and I agree with other comments that threading, tension adjustment and most sewing is very easy with this machine. The reason it doesn't get a 5 star is because Singer (the company) cut corners on it. Most machines at this price point (mid-tier) have enough features to take you to intermediate sewing levels. One key feature that differentiates beginner sewing from intermediate sewing is the ability to create perfect straight stitches. The most difficult straight stitches are in curves (as in princess seams) and in difficult to sew or sheer fabrics (i.e. slippery silks, chiffons, organzas, lace, etc). That's when you need to use a straight stitch throat place in your machine; not doing so invites skipped and uneven stitches. Singer chose not to build an additional throat plate for this machine.

Most machines brands similar in price provide this plate as an accessory you can buy. I assumed Singer would as well so I bought the machine without checking. Now I'm stuck with a machine that's overpriced but still performs at beginner levels. Make sure that if you're going to pay more $500 or more on your machine, this machine will allow you to sew for at least 4-6 years. Assuming your sewing ability will increase, the machine should have all the features you will need by the end of its useful life.

Singer's Curvy 8770: for the first time since the invention of the sewing machine, Singer has created a new method of threading the machine and bobbin by combining digital technology with a one-touch needle threader. The SwiftSmart Threading System allows sewers to spend less time threading the machine and more time exploring their creativity. More then 220 stitch patterns including alphanumeric stitches and 7 styles of fully automatic 1-step buttonholes, alpha and numeric stitches, and adjustable stitch length and width will help any sewer-from novice to expert-create one-of-a-kind projects with ease. Stitch mirror and editing, and twin needle sewing capability expand the possibilities. The 20-space memory bank holds names or short phrases for sewing over and over again. Drop feed for free motion sewing, an extra-high presser foot lifter and programmable needle up/down allows for expert quilting. Standard accessories include an instruction manual, quick start DVD, power cord, a variety of presser Feet (All Purpose, Buttonhole, Zipper, Blind Hem, Special Purpose), bobbins, needles, seam ripper, spool caps/pin/felt, and screwdriver.
