I Like It!
Ok, this may be a pretty lengthy review so tl:dr it is a pretty good machine and definitely a significant improvement to the machine that I had. So diving into it, I knew going into it that this machine does not have the greatest reviews, but I went ahead with buying it anyway because I really wanted the stitches and this machine was in my budget. Also it is a huge improvement on the machine that I had before which was an old Singer machine that was my grandmothers. That machine really helped me learn how to sew, but it was beginning to show its age, and I didnt want to ruin it with all of the projects that I have been doing. Fast forward, I got this mahcine and I was so incredibly excited to receive this machine. It was shipped in just the original box, so it was a bit beat up by the time it got here. When I opened the box, the whole thing had an overwhelming smell of cigerette smoke, which for me is a bit of a problem because I have asthma. However, I let it sit in an open, well ventilated area for a few days and a good amount of the smell disappated, Another thing was that the machine itself came with a bent needle. So I set it up and got to sewing, but despite everything being in the right way the thread kept bunching on the back of my project and the machine would get stuck and give me a C4 error. This normally would indicate a bobbin or threading problem, but everything was in correctly. So I consulted a sewing friend who asked me if I had checked the needle, and sure enough the very tip of the needle was bent ever so slightly. May not seem like a big problem, but those of you who sew know this makes a big difference. I swapped in a brand new needle and it has been sewing like a dream ever since. I have noticed that sometimes a few of the stitches in my project are a little 'loose' per say, but this is not a big deal to me. Overall I have been really happy with the machine. Once the machine is set it is pretty easy to use and I have had fun trying out all of the different stitches. I have been able to fix some clothing that needed mending, and I have also been able to make lots of masks for people who need them.

Re-learning to Sew is Easy with this Machine
I haven’t sewn on a machine since my twenties, and I am now retired. Determined to learn a new helpful hobby, I initially bought this Singer, at a great price, to make some masks fir protection from Covid-19. I am learning all over again, but thos machine makes it easy. I would have given it 5 stars, but for some reason, every once in a while, it jams, and the upper thread has to be rethreaded.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Mask making
I was in the middle of making masks for the Covid-19 pandemic when I had to purchase a new machine because my Sharp sewing machine seized up on me and stopped working. The Singer C5200 machine was the only one I could order online on a Saturday night as all other sewing machines were sold out. It seemed like a good deal when I originally purchased it but I came to find out that Joann Fabric had the exact same machine at half the price. I did not read customer comments until after I made the purchase. The common theme was that the machine jammed up when sewing. I have been sewing for over 40 years and know my way around a sewing machine. When I first received the machine I thoroughly read the instruction on how to wind the bobbin and thread the machine. I started sewing the day that I got it and it worked like a charm. After sewing over 60 masks for the past three weeks 4 needles bent and broke while sewing and the stitching keeps getting all clumped up and the machine stops working when I’m sewing polyester/cotton fabric. I’ve had issues with 100% cotton fabric as well. I feel like I wasted $320 and I don’t recommend purchasing this sewing machine.

Back to sewing
I’m over 60 and can count on one hand the number of hours I’ve probably sewed my whole life! Wanting to get back into it, but without having to invest too much money, i scoped out eBay for most of the first part of the virus outbreak. I needed something simple to use but with capabilities somewhat passed “beginner”. This machine fits the bill. I love how the speed of the stitching doesn’t scoot out from under me! I feel like I have a lot of control over the whole process. The ability to change stitching styles is easy and fun! I only needed a little help from my sewing daughter to install the bobbin mechanism. It’s fun, as a beginner-sort of, having such a easy-to-use yet “fancy” machine!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great machine / auto threader is difficult
Everything is as described works great. There is a bit of a learning curve for me because I can’t quite get the automatic threader to work for me. So I have been watching some YouTube videos on how to do it. I am hoping eventually I can get it to work for me too. It’s just much faster for me to thread needle myself. Otherwise love the machine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This machine is ok, I had a lot of problems with it at first . Now it works well, but gets jammed too easily.
