SINGER Start 1304 Sewing Machine Review

Features: Singer 1304

1# Built-in Stitches

The sewing machine comes explicitly with 6 built-in stitches. They are buttonhole, straight, zigzag, blind hem, satin, and scallop. The ease at which you switch between the stitches is what makes the machine unique and outstanding. It has a stitch dial that makes switching between one type of stitch to another very easy.

2# LED Sewing Light

You don’t have to worry in case power goes off. You can just switch on the in-built light to illuminate your working area. The feature is convenient for use in areas that are not well so lit. You can quickly follow your work to ensure that you are doing the right thing.

3#Built-in Thread Cutter

This is a feature that does not come with many sewing machines. Just at a press of a button, you can cut off the thread as required once you are through with stitching. This means that you can comfortably do away with scissors and other cutting tools.

4# Automatic Bobbin Winding

By merely following the instructions that come with the machine, you can automatically disengage the needle. The feature makes winding off the bobbin safe and easy. Once the bobbin is filled, it stops turning, and the needle disconnects itself. Ensure that you stick to the instructions to avoid causing damage to the machine parts.

5# Free Arm

The model comes with a free arm that makes the machine portable. The arm is removable, making it possible to access the collar, cuffs, hems, and waistbands. The carry handle is easy to fix and detach as per your convenience. Beneath it is a compartment that gives you room for storage. This means that you do not need to have extra storage space for your tools.
