SINGER® M1000 Mending Machine (Black) with Accessories | 4 Built in Stitches deliver 32 Stitch Applications | Compact, Lightweight, Portable | Great for Light to Medium Weight Fabrics & Repairs

My mom uses this sewing machine to fix clothes, and it works great for everyday repairs. It’s easy to set up and very simple to use, even for small mending tasks. The machine is lightweight but feels sturdy enough for basic sewing. It handles hems, small tears, and adjustments without any issues. For the size and price, it offers very good value for money and is a practical option to have at home.

We bought it as my wife wanted to try some DIY on her clothes. I was scared at first because I am used to those old school big sewing machines from back in the days. This solution was surprisingly good. So, far we have attempted to work on sarees (traditional indian), sherwani (indian) and cotton clothing. The machine works brilliantly. The thread and associated tools kit is also very helpful for a beginner to get started on sewing immediately. The instructions were easy to follow & we were up and running in no time. I would say that for think clothing, it does struggle at time which is expected given the size. But if does smartly it will be able to sew through. Definitely recommend.

I bought this to shorten and hem some new curtains. The motor started going very slow, the light would dim, and it wont make any stitches. It wont even run the bobbin winder which does not have any load on it. It was just outside the Amazon return window, so I called Singer support. Now I have to pay half the cost of the machine to ship it to a location that might or might not repair it. I have only used it this one time, to sew about 20 feet worth of relatively light curtain material. It took a while to set up, it was not really easy but I think its standard for sewing machines. The instruction manual was very basic, and didn't have any detail, so I had to watch youtube videos to understand it. I finally got it working, although it took me longer to set it up than it ran before it broke. I was doing simple stitching, similar to what they describe in the product listing. It goes relatively slow, no speed control, but that was known. I hemmed the bottom of 2 curtains, but on the third it kept slowing down and would barely stitch. It would go for a second, then slow down, the light would dim, and then it would go another tiny bit before stopping again. This happened while I was sewing 2 layers of fabric, and its not a heavy fabric. Even when I removed the fabric and tried to wind a new bobbin and start over, it would not run the bobbin winder without slowing down. I gave up and called support. The rep tried to tell me it was a "mending" machine, and so I might have overused it. I'm concerned that she was prepping me to say they won't fix it, even though what I was doing was consistent with the uses and images on the Amazon site (the shirt cuff they show in the images looks heavier than my fabric). They did not offer any troubleshooting, or ways to test it to see what was wrong. She told me there were 3 warranty repair locations in my state, but they are over 6 hours away and she said they do not accept shipments, only walk-ins. But she kept trying to give me their numbers, and said I could call and ask. It was clear she was trying to blow me off and get me off the phone, and I'm sure the locations are tired of people asking. Then I asked for a location I can ship to, it's multiple states away, but of course I have to pay to ship it. I can't be certain that they will repair it or replace it, so I have to decide if I want to pay half the cost of the machine and roll the dice, but I'm not optimistic given the response so far. When searching for this I saw some similar machines for about $30 that would have done what I wanted. I decided to spring for the $80 machine, thinking it would be good to keep around and use in the future. In hindsight I probably could have bought 3 or 4 of the cheaper ones, and threw them away if they broke, and I would still be ahead. Now I can't complete my project, and I'm sure I'm going to get into Customer Service hell where they do their best to beat me down until I give up and stop trying. This is way more frustration than its worth. Update, I called the warranty repair location that does accept shipments. They told me they will not work on these machines because they consider them a "toy", with plastic parts that break easily. This was an independent business, not a singer facility, so I was frustrated but understanding. The support system is 0 for 4, recommending 3 places I can't drive to, and a place that accepts shipments but wont work on this model.

This Singer sewing machine is compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to store and move around. It’s great for small to medium projects like fixing clothes, hemming pants, or making simple crafts. The 32 stitch options are enough for everyday use, and the LED light helps a lot when working on darker fabrics. It’s not a heavy duty machine, so I wouldn’t recommend it for very thick materials, but for home repairs and light sewing it does the job well. Perfect for beginners or anyone who just needs a reliable little machine. (Amazon Vine stitch by stitch, review by review 😂)

I loved the sewing machine!!! I bought in May 2025 and it’s now November 2025 bobbin wouldn’t move so the thread wouldn’t catch:( Hopefully Singer will send me a replacement! But fyi the bobbin area just gave out and won’t spin for the thread to catch it

This is very easy to use and has a standard set up. It is good for the money. I have been sewing by hand and thought I really don’t need a lot of features but front and back is good. So far the only problem I have is the thread keeps breaking and since the tread goes from the front to the back it is hard to thread the needle with a needle threader(my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be ) .the light also turns on as soon as you start working on the machine . I bought a case and it is light enough to be easily portable and is quiet. I like the machine a lot.

I bought this machine a year ago with maybe using it 4 times. It was doing a great job and now the bobbin mechanism won't "catch" through to merge with the needle/thread above. I took it into a sewing repair shop and they didn't help at all. I looked on YouTube for maybe instructions on how to fix with no luck. I'm really frustrated and disappointed as it was doing such a good job. I only use it for hemming purposes for dresses and tops. I would love to see if I could get some sort of refund or exchange on this machine if possible but I'm not having any luck with that either!

La máquina cumple lo que promete 100% recomendada.

Great product for beginners. It seems really slow to me, also can’t do on thick fabrics too.

Es hermosa

Works well.

Requested for return. Not used even single time

Possibly the worst item I have purchased. It's what you pay for to be honest. Spendxthe extra and get a better sewing machine
