Just won’t work

published

I bought one to do over locking when I started working with light canvas and denim for hand bags. It has done very little work. When it worked properly it did a reasonably job, not great though. Now it just breaks thread at the needles continually. So it won’t work. I spent all my time threading. It instantly broke the thread. Finally I just gave up so it all shiny and new and just sitting there doing absolutely nothing. Painful and expensive.

Purchased in October 2021 at Spotlight for $399.00.

Faulty

published

I purchased it not long ago from Spotlight. Unpacked it and the base of the machine was sitting in machine oil. Requested a refund but received another machine. I didn't open the box as there was water damage to the box. Still waiting for refund.

Worthless

published

Machine has not worked properly since I took it out of the box. The stitches are always loose and requires a straight stitch to keep it together, I’ve had it serviced numerous times, wished I’d saved my money and purchased a new different one, or even a proven second hand one . This machine is worthless

Great machine

published

I’ve been seeing some minor alterations with this machine, took a bit of getting used to as I normally use older machines. I’ve found that the needle thread tension doesn’t get as tight as I am used to, I’ve had to secure it with a straight stitch but otherwise works well.
Presser foot is not very good at taking thick layered fabric, you have to lift it up and wedge it in there

Over locker to avoid

published

This machine is worthless. I have never even managed to get it to complete one item without an issue. Even a friend who teaches sewing can’t get hers to work. We both just go back to our ancient Janine machines. I tried customer support who were complicated and insist this machine was not poorly made as an Aldi exclusive. But of the 3 machines we purchased all of them are unuseable.
Cotton breaks. Or it sees fine for 30 cm without breaking then just stops and threads no longer loop or sew but are not actually broken.

Date PurchasedApr 2015

Complaint

published

I recently bought the 14SH754 overlocker and am unable to use it.
the knob to adjust the hem width e.g. roll hem(factory set) or standard is very hard to turn. enquiries at the place of purchase, inform me that "this is not our standard product" I was told I would be contacted as to where and who could look at it. I am still waiting. Singer: has ? a good reputation for its products I am very disappointed with this one. I am unable to use the overlocker.

No after sale service

Singer Overlockers.....Excellent value for money!!

published

The Singer Overlockers are excellent value for money. They are nice and quiet, do a very nice 3 or 4 thread overlock and a wonderful rolled hem.
The cutting blade works well, however I have seen sewing people wind the stitch width screw too wide and this causes the top cutting blade to have less pressure on the stationary bottom blade (like a worn pair of scissors).
Anyone who has problems with the Singer 14SH754 obviously hasn't got the tensions or settings correct. Also don't forget to pull the threads into the tension discs before you begin to sew.
Excellent value for money!!

Hi I purchased a 14sh754... 16 days ago and from the very first time I used it the bottom looper broke ( have ever had a problem using a machine before ) took it to a singer shop today and they said it would be $160 and 4 weeks to be fixed.... I think the problem was that it was not rite in the first place... I don’t have the money to fix a machine that just cost me $400 to purchase nor 4 weeks to wait for it to be fixed what can I do?

The time you can’t change but this is clearly a warranty repair. Contact consumer affairs about claiming a warranty repair as the machine has 3 years warranty. Shops are not oblidged to replace after about 1 month. If you contact Singer directly they will most likely have you send it to them for repair. Postage cost less than you think. But you will have to just accept it takes time.

Do not pay for a repair through the shop!
