Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Simple to use and capable of virtually any sewing function, this computerized machine provides an array of convenient features that make sewing easy for both novices and experienced sewers. With 52 stitch functions ranging from basic to advanced construction stitches, along with several decorative stitches, there's room for control and creativity. The unit is designed with an automatic needle threader, a top drop-in bobbin with a window to monitor thread level, and an easy bobbin winder for convenience, as well as an electronically controlled foot pedal with an adjustable pressure control for smoothly maintaining or changing speeds. For full control over stitch placement, the feed dogs can be manually lowered, preventing the fabric from being automatically fed through the sewing area. The machine's sewing speed controller makes it easier to do detailed work, and its two-needle position selector allows for attaching zippers and top stitching, while push-button reverse sewing provides neat seam-ends.
Other convenient features include a one-step buttonholer, 26 built-in stitch patterns, free arm, drop feed, adjustable width and length, variable electronic speed over-ride, and needle up/down selector for ease in turning corners. The machine also provides automatic thread tension along with a sewing light, snap-on presser feet, and a conveniently located thread cutter. Designed with a compartment for storing accessories, the unit includes a standard presser foot, buttonhole foot, zipper foot, rolled hem foot, blind stitch foot, satin stitch foot, and an overcast foot, as well as a pack of needles, four bobbins, a dust cover, a small bottle of oil, two spool caps, two screwdrivers, a stitch puller, a lint brush, and an instruction manual. Weighing just 17-1/2 pounds, this compact sewing machine measures 16-1/2 by 6-3/4 by 11-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Editor's note: This is a reconditioned sewing machine. Reconditioned generally means that the sewing machine has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the machine back to like-new condition. Some products may contain cosmetic blemishes.

Big Disappointment,
By BEATRICE ANDERSON (PHILADELPHIA, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned SINGER 2638 52-Stitch-Function Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
I recently broke a gear on my 28 yr old Singer Touch&Sew and decide to replace it with this model based on the features advertised and the editorial review. [no customer reviews available] What a disappointment. Immediately noticeable is the poor lighting. The light shines on the left side of the thread plate,not on the stitching, and is made worse by a shadow from the auto needle threader. Threading was easy but thread slips easily and frequently from the thread guide near the needle. I did not try the needle threader. I have been used to a self winding bobbin so winding the bobbin was annoying but not difficult. The bobbin cover is clear and must be lifted off instead of sliding out of the way,and is easily misplaced. The machine runs smoothly and quietly, but I am comparing it to a 28 yr old machine. Stitches are flat and even. Reverse stitching speed is slow only and you must release the foot pedal completely before going forward. this may be a good feature for a novice, but I found it to be tedious an time consuming. The feed on reverse is poor causing bunching. Another annoying feature is the needle rising whenever you stop. You must push a button to lower the needle if you want to turn the fabric. These features really disturb the "flow" of your project. My last disappointment was the rolled hem pressor foot. The rolled edge is so far from the feed you must advance the fabric about an inch and a half unhemmed in order to stitch. I do not recommend this machine. I plan to return it and get my Touch& Sew repaired.

Very dissapointing,
By
This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned SINGER 2638 52-Stitch-Function Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
The first one I received has a defective bobbin winder, it only wound the bottom half of the bobbin. When I called Singer directly they suggested I hold the thread up with my fingers...They did replace it but the second one is defective as well.The reverse lever that stalls after reversing causing you to release and then re-apply pressure is a pain. It bunches up any material thicker than simple cottons. The light is worthless. My machine sounds like grinding gears and the delay after releasing foot pedal is very annoying.... Would not recommend this machine at all. I have tried to return for refund but singer does not give any refunds... so beware

Great for Pillowcases - Bad for anything else,
This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned SINGER 2638 52-Stitch-Function Sewing Machine (Kitchen)
I've had my machine nearly two weeks now. I've made some beautiful pillow cases, but I cannot work with any fabric heavier than that! It bunches up and ties horrific knots in fleece, flannel, denim, I've adjusted everything from tension to feed dogs, nothing will help this machine. The one step buttonhole would be amazing if it weren't tying knots in my fleece. Decorative stitches are beautiful on lightweight fabric, but again, useless on medium to heavy fabric.
Automatic threader works well for me. Would NOT recommend this product.
