FEATURES: SINGER 7258 REVIEW

This machine is on the high-end of the machines built for the beginner sewer. It has several features that put it into the next category such as the ability to do high-speed sewing, and double needle capability.

It has a few more stitches than the lower end machine but is not over-the-top with too many choices and features that would hardly ever get used.

Versatility

Features of the Singer 7258 Stylist Computerized Sewing Machine

The Singer 7258 Stylist Computerized Sewing Machine is a versatile machine that can do a little more than many machines on the lower end of the price range. It has nine basics stitches, eight stretch stitches, 76 decorative stitches, and seven fully automatic buttonhole features.

This allows you to do anything you can think of on this machine from fashion sewing to quilting, to heirloom, crafts, and home decorating.

Accessories

Aside from the built-in features, this machine comes with a variety of different presser foot attachments. Among its attachments include a stippling, darning, and freehand embroidery, allowing you to expand the capabilities of the machine as far as your imagination can go.

You can also purchase heavy-duty needles and quilting needles. A hard storage case is also available, which makes transport easy and keeps the machine dust free.

Durability

With a name like Singer behind it, you know that this is a machine that will last for a very long time. The Singer Company has been making sewing machines for over 150 years, and many of their antique machines are still in service.

You know that if you have a Singer, then you have a machine that will probably be passed down through the generations.

Final Verdict: Signer 7258

Overall, I am pleased with the Singer 7258 Stylist Computerized Sewing Machine. This is a great machine for many types of sewing and crafting. The function that I like the most is the ability to control the speed with a button on the machine itself, instead of the foot pedal.

This machine is speedy and can really push the fabric if you want it to. All around, I think this is a great machine for beginners or even those who sew semi-professionally.

It has all of the standard features that you need, but not a lot of extra that you don’t. It works flawlessly, as long as you keep the dust from the bobbin area. I am pleased with this machine.
