Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Easy to operate and capable of 27 stitch functions, this machine sews all fabrics, from multiple layers of denim to delicate silks. The machine sews straight, zigzag, satin stitch, buttons, mends, and darns, and provides for freehand embroidery. The Fast & Easy also includes an automatic buttonhole, in addition to three creative feet: zipper, buttonhole, and button sewing. The accessory package contains bobbins, needles, and a seam ripper. Ruggedly built with solid-metal mechanical parts and a metal frame inside a plastic housing, the machine has a sewing light, a built-in carrying handle, and a slide-out sewing table (which stores accessories) for free-arm sewing. An illustrated instruction booklet is included. The machine carries a 25-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars A welcome replacement, December 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Euro-Pro 420 Fast & Easy 18-Stitch Function with 3 Creative Feet (Kitchen)

The bobbin-winder mechanism on our 22-year old Singer sewing machine broke so the Singer is now headed to the trash dump and we have a new Euro-Pro 420 as replacement. I just used the EuroPro on 6 layers of denim, a task I would not give to the 22-year old Singer. The Euro-Pro is more portable since it is lighter and has a built-in carrying handle. Both machines are capable of several stitch functions and sews straight, zigzag, buttons, mends, darns. This EuroPro 420 and the old Singer did not have a feature for automatic threading. This EuroPro420 does not have settings for stretch-fabric, a setting which the old Singer had. (The last time I used the stretch-fabric option was ten-some years ago, so I don't miss it.)

The EuroPro420 also has the twin-needle feature which the old Singer does not support ( I doubt I'll be using this feature.) The old Singer did not have the free-arm option. This Europro420 converts to a free arm; a very welcome feature for the ease in sewing tight areas such as sleeves or pant-legs. The piece that is removed to create the free arm has a convenient storage area for all the included attachments (bobbins, seam ripper, extra feet/attachments for buttonholes, quilting, hemming, etc. ).

My first try at this EuroPro420 resulted in terrycloth/"bird's nest" on the underside. A quick review of the manual (bilingual -- English/Spanish) pointed to an error in installing the bobbin. So to be noted : reading the manual (and keeping it handy for referencing) is always useful.

All in all, this EuroPro 420 is a big improvement on the old sewing machine that it replaced.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Close To Perfection for the Price!!!, November 24, 2006

This machine is as close to perfection as you can get for the money. I have another EuroPro which is a piece of absolute crap that I can't even give away, but this one has outsewn everything, even my Heavy Duty machine by WHITE.

It does all of the basics you need - such as straight and zig zag stitches and buttonholes. It comes with the essential accessories you need. It is lightweight and compact and doesn't hog space. At the time I got mine, it was available in royal blue, which makes quite the fashion statement.

I recommend this to the beginner and the expert. I sew several layers of fleece in the making of teddy bears. It handles thick denim and silk with the same ease.

I have been sewing for over 30 years and had found the newer sewing machines to be cheaply made and not durable enough for larger jobs. My daughter got me this machine for a Christmas present and I was prepared to be dissapointed. This machine is amazing, I sewed new boat cushions, RV cushions, quilting projects and clothing and have never had a problem with this machine. It is now my favorite sewing machine.
