I am 12 yrs old and have had this machine for about 2yrs and it still works very well!! I in fact made a whole dress for myself with it! I highly recommend
me too haha
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm looking into a sewing machine recommendation for a friends child and you input was so helpful!
I have this machine, I started lite sewing after many yrs without a machine and craft making with this and it works well for me. Very lightweight and easy to move around. Good for the price.
I am looking to learn how to sew. No experience, but grew up watching my mom sew everything. Now at the age of 37, I want to learn how to sew. Thank you for the clear review! I think this machine maybe a good starter for me.❤
Yayyy! You can do it!
Same! My husband and I watched our moms sew with great talent and love and now we both want to carry on the tradition. We're thinking this is our first machine!
@@BlueprintDIY thank you for your beautiful video. I have not sold since I was in seventh grade. Does this have a button hole or a switch that takes the needle back up automatically?
my son just bought me one two days ago and Amazon delivered it today because he saw me struggling to hand sew some simple items ....a young lady who makes cos-play costumes suggested it to my son ....I had a complicated machine decades ago but the motor wore out and stopped working smoothly /possibly because it was stored for a long long time in a sometimes wet sometimes dusty garage ....................I just need a machine for mending now so I'm happy to get this simple version ...thank you for your review
I found your channel a few days ago because I am wanting to make a skirt from my old jeans. I went yesterday and got this very sewing machine. I was so excited when I looked it up on RUclips and your video with it popped up.
I just absolutely adore you and your content.
Yayyy! Congratulations on your new machine. I just traveled with mine on Sunday.
I really like these type of videos because it make me know the features of the sewing machine and what to look for when I finally shop for one. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
You’re welcome ☺️
First of all, I absolutely love what you are wearing! So unique! I would love to see more of your makes. Secondly, this looks like the perfect machine for a young beginner. Great price point, light weight, and very functional. Thanks for your review.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾 Here’s the tutorial for that top. ruclips.net/video/oCN1Kar-W1c/видео.html
I am thinking of getting a begginers machine for my daughter and I love this review. Thank you.
Hi there! I was so enjoyed seeing/ hearing you: "no, thank you, we are not doing this here" - I love it, cause the same happened while I was trying my little one over a pretty thick piece of Fleece - and your words came into my mind immediately - thank you 🥰🥰 by the way, I love the little one just to take her with me. I am a Taylor and my real passion belongs to my BERNINA 1130 (Switzerland) from the 90" - first computer controlled machine in the market then - and I tell you, this is THE BEST Sewing Machine I ever worked on! Don't know if you know this Brand, but they are doing big quality Machines! Bye bye from Germany 👋👋!
I ordered this for my niece as a bday present, as a first machine. How cool that you reviewed it! Thank you 😊 it is supposed to be delivered in the next few minutes 😁
Wow! That’s an awesome coincidence.
My parents bought it for me for my birthday recently 😁
@@ross9944 and how's it so far?
Hello i'm a beginner thank you for showing I just ordered this machine this morning.
That's a cute bag. Not trying to take up a lot of space.😊
Thank you for this great review.. One thing I would like to address. So many times lately I hear people put down the Singer sewing machines. There will always be negative nancys out there. Please keep in mind that Even if the machine doesn't hold up forever at least they can experience the joy of creativity while developing a new or rusty skill and determining if sewing is the hobby or passion they want to pursue. That year or two can be spent determining if they want to upgrade to a different machine. In the meantime enjoy creating.
Agreed!
Wow. Great video. I leaned so m much about sewing machines, in general. The Singer M1000 mini sewing machine looks like the best thing for travel and kids who are learning to sew. At $85, it also would be possible to buy a number of the machines for use in workshops. The quality of your videos as teaching tools is great. Over and over again, I almost pass on watching your latest video. And, each time I learn more than I could possibly have imagined. Might be time to join your group.
Thanks so much Mary Lou! We’d love to see you in the group!
Thank you so much for this. I'm teaching a little girl to sew and she has this machine. I'm going to send this video to her to watch. THANK YOU!!!
Oh yayyy!
I was looking to purchase this, as it's inexpensive and beginner friendly. Thank you for the super informative review and demo. Much appreciated!
I'm looking for something simple for sewing liners into crochet purses. I think I'll try this one. Thanks for posting!!
Thanks for reviewing this. I want to get it for my 9yr old granddaughter for Christmas. I think it will be a great choice
Yeah, I think she’ll love it!
im gonna use it to make doll cloths. I have other machines but this one will be perfect for that Thanks for the Demo its always nice to see it in action before you buy but this one will be perfect for what im gonna use it for. Thank you sweeheart Hugs be safe.
I had the same question about the 32 stitch settings. I bought this machine recently and figured out where the 32 figure comes from. If you move between the straight stitch setting, there are smaller adjustments on the wheel between the different needle positions that allow for adjustment to the stitch length. The constant speed is annoying, though.
Oooh 😲 Thanks for that!
I got this sewing for Christmas so amazing and easy to work with
My travel set up is an expandable tool box. The sewing machine fits in the bottom and there's a top and a drawer once you pull everything apart it's pretty cool. Found a toolbox at a yard sale. They are expensive so glad to find it for $30 at yard sale.
That sounds amazing!
That's okay. shutting off so I won't damage the machine.🤷🏽♀️ For beginner like myself😊... I also understand what you are saying.🙋🏽♀️
Omg it's cute and I love that it has the clear bobbin cover that's sweet !!!
I truly appreciate your videos... started with handheld and now im considering this size sewing machine :)
Hello I had this same machine my granddaughter gave me it. She really said she could not use it because she didn't know how to thread it but I am wondering. Can I use any twin needle for this. Sewing machine or does it have to be a singer twin needle. I have a couple of t-shirt long stretch dresses that I got off of she in they are so cute. Only pay $10 for them but everybody want to charge me 30 to $35 to him then just too much so I'm going to try it on my own I have made curtains before. 🤨🤔🤷🏽♀️
Hello I haven't use a sewing machine since I was in middle school. I'm now 54 and would love to try and Start again. But I think I may have to start with the hand held first. Lol
So I walked in the thrift store and my eyes caught this machine. I Jumped in the car got on the phone and went to RUclips and guess who popped up 😄 ?? So I listened to the review and the speen part scared me. So I said I know that she will not give a reviews just to get subscribers, so I bought it for $10.. Somebody didn't like there Christmas gift 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW.
Whoah, that was a good find!
😮😮😮$10!!! Wow!!! Awesome deal!!!
Thanks for always testing out sewing machines for us 💕
I was looking for some sewing machine reviews! I'm so happy I found your page! Definitely helped A TON... Follower from tiktok 🥰
Yayyy, I’m so glad! Welcome to the BlueprintDIY RUclips family as well! 🤗
Amazing video 💕thank you for this. I use this machine and face difficulty while stitching silk and knits with the same. Silk slips or get gathers and in knits stitch skips. Do you have an advice?
I had the elcheapo singer 3323 talent, it only lasted me 2.5 years, the timing went out and it would cost more to fix than the machine is worth. I kept it to one day fix the timing myself because I want to give it to my husbands niece who is 11, or I would but this one for her. I got a Janome since.
Can you do bastille with this machine? what attachment is needed to do that? Thank you for the Review!!
im interested in this sewing machine to sew patches onto a denim jacket. Do you think the it can handle patches that usually have a backing and are slightly heavier than denim material.
love your channel
Love these videos!!! I got my brother s&t after watching your reviews 😁😁😁😁
And I’m super happy with my baby 😻✨
Yayyy! That’s my favorite one to recommend.
Can you get a variable foot pedal that will allow you to control the speed with?
Yes I would purchase this for myself and 1 for my daughter
I think to purchase it is good or not, for stitcher and it did overlook
I love this kind of video it's very informative and keeps me on the lookout for what I want when I get a machine thanks
You’re welcome ☺️
I'm a new Sub and have watched several of your videos. Not only are you a great talent but a joy to watch as well!!💙💙💙💙
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾 Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗
You earned a subscriber! I love this review! Do you think it could make shirts, basic clothes, aprons, tote bags etc? Lightweight stuff?
If I ready didn't own a Singer 3116 machine I would definitely by this one!
I like how portable it is and does a lot of stitch different functions.
Stitching through 4 pieces of fabric isn't bad.
It's great for light weight sewing or a someone who is a learning to sew.
Exactly
How does it perform with Carhartt work pants materials ?
I bought one from Walmart for $71 after having watched your reviews...once I receive it in April,and I test it, I'll let u know how it works
Can you give an update please ?
@@va.j I got this and it immediately had timing issues and from reading other comment sections on this machine it seems to be a common issue i would not recommend this machine
@@bottlenose.dolphin Thank you !
Would this do well creating liners for crochet bags? Like would it work sewing fabric to the crocheted yarn?
No it would not
Thank you for this video. I’m thinking about buying this machine as my first one, as I plan to move many times (in different countries) during next years, but I also would like to start to sew my own clothes. Do you think it’s realistic to buy this machine for it? To create clothes from tissues?
To be honest, I traveled with it and a small piece broke off and now I can wind the bobbin. And it’s quite finnicky.
hi! where did you get the travel bag? thx
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏽
Thank you for this! Would you recommend it for a novice upcycler?
Yes, absolutely
I am in the space to purchase a new machine preferably a heavy duty one that has lots of stitches and can work denim like a dream and also can work linen the same what are your recommendations???
Brother ST371hd or Singer Heavy Duty. They both have computerized versions if you prefer that.
love your detailed reviews!
Thank you 💕
thank you so much for your honest review :)
I'm a beginner and have spent so many hours today with my brand new m1005 and CANNOT stitch through folded over elastic I tights. It just jams or the tread breaks or I break a needle. I'm having so much trouble😭😭
I’m sorry you’re having trouble. I can only think to try a bigger size needle.
@@BlueprintDIY they only take needles up to 90(#14) 😭
This was lovely! Can you take the guard off though? And can you lower the feed dogs?
Hello I have this machine and to answer your question, you can remove the guard but you can’t lower the feed dogs however you can buy a cover for them
I hope this is a good travel machine. I sew and quilt. I want a retreat machine that is compact and light. I hope it cand sew a 1/4" seam. That's is the most important thing that I need.
I have 2 Husqvarna machines. One is an embroidery machine the other is Emerald 116. These two machines can do whatever but they are heavy and not good for travel/retreats.
I'm debating on returning it. I'm an experienced sew-er. I'm worried it may not be all I want.
If i retrn it I'm get a little Janome portable machine they have on eBay less than $100. I paid $79 for this at Walmart.
I have the other full machines if I need zippers, buttonholes and special stitches.
Any thoughts?
I’d recommend the Janome! To be honest, this Singer M1000 is falling apart on me and I’ve only taken it on one trip.
Im 11months late for the show!😉🙃 but Great videos. Very informative.
I thought maybe you could give some imput ... I got this very machine as a gift for a relative ,and was curious to know if DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRESSER FOOTS CAN BE USED with this M1000? - i would like to buy more options ( low shanker ) for the machine , so they can have a more (diverse) usage, and with other additional attachments to play with....So, im curious to know if this machine allows range!? Or do you have to or just needs to stick with what Foot as assigned for it?
Thought with all your experience of "curious" trial and error research YOUVE POSSIBLY TRIED A FEW presser options with this machine?... If so! What worked! WOULD love a show and tell video on that. If possible?
I think it uses a standard clip on foot and if so you can purchase any universal foot kit, but I haven’t proven this. I really only use this one when I travel.
@@BlueprintDIY , Appreciate the response. I am looking to purchase a set of presser feet - DARNING FOOT, SATIN FOOT ,CORDING FOOT ,KNIT FOOT , PINTUCK FOOT, GATHERING FOOT, NARROW HEM, ROLLER FOOT, ROLLED HEM, TEFLON FOOT. Would they work with this mending machine. I keep looking for answers on google. And since youve proven this machine can handle soft layers of leather and denim! I FIGURED... As well, as i can see the snap on foot can be removed? Which prompt me to think the presser foots can be also add? Nothing says no! ..well, they did 'No' to the leather and denim - which is noted as thick and heavier material. But yet you did it.
I would love if you would try doing a video on that (tries different presser foots on this mending M1000 by singer)? If possible? Otherwise, thanx for answering.
This is a good review, i thought you were very thorough.
I wonder, can you do a review on the Viking Emerald 118 sewing machine?
Thank you 💕 The Emerald 118 has been discontinued. You can still find it new right now, but it probably won’t be for long.
Can i use for cosplay?
I'm new beginner with sewing. I watched your last video about the mini sewing machine. Between the mini sewing machine and this one what you think is best for beginners? Tks
The Janome Pink Lightning is my favorite mini.
Is it rotary or oscillating? It's hard to tell from the video, but it kinda looked like it was oscillating, and I was like "I haven't seen a drop-in oscillating bobbin in ages!"
Angelina, you are my go to sewing guru! Thanks for all your content and inspiring videos. But... I got one of these and had an issue with the bobbin thread not catching and connecting. So, NO bottom thread! I have looked at hacks on you tube but havent been able to fix it , although I tried and tried in vain. Any advice?
Have you called Singer. It sounds like the timing is off. Maybe they can give you a replacement. Also make sure your needle isn’t slightly bent.
LMAO! That machine told you NO!
What a great starter machine. I already have a Singer 1120, which is my first machine and is portable. But if I was looking for one, and couldn’t find a used machine, I’d buy it.
Yeah, it’s perfect for on-the-go use and I’d much rather buy this for a beginner than some of those other mini machines.
Love your reviews! They condense everything down so easily.
What are your thoughts about Bernette 05 Academy? Would that be considered a good beginner machine?
I want to try it so bad… which means I probably will soon enough. 😆
I love your personality, had me laughing!
😆 In my head I was like “how dare you turn off on me”.
I need help. I have this machine and I've had to adjust the timing a few times. This time that I adjusted the timing, the tray that my bobbin goes in keeps getting caught on the black piece that is below the presser foot. This piece seems to lift up but I don't know why it's suddenly getting caught when I'm trying to thread my machine. please someone help!
I wanted a summer project and bought the singer m1000. I’m so happy I watched this video because if she did a “no ma’am” I would have returned it and asked for a refund 😂.
😂
Can I use it to make wigs?
do you think it will be able to sew jersey material like sweatpants/sweatshirts?
Yes, it think so 👍🏾
"No, Ma'am. I blink and I turn off for you." 😂😂
It was respectfully rejecting me. 😆
@@BlueprintDIY at least it was polite. You had me lol-ing a few times in this video speaking for the machine. Loved the review!
I paid$78
On amazon.🙋🏽♀️ Went to Walmart. Their was
the same unit was There🤷🏽♀️ for $100.😊 🎉
Can I stitch jeans with this? I got it to turn my pants into a skirt but I don’t know what settings to have it on. I’m also new to sewing.
It won’t work on that thick part of the jeans, but it’ll definitely sew a few layers.
@@BlueprintDIY I had cut my jeans to turn it into a skirt, I am trying to do that nothing else . I won’t even be going over the thick parts 😭 I just wanna out the pants into a skirt if that make sense I wanna know if I can do that with this
You can put masking tape on the bottom of the foot to make it lol a teflon foot
Good idea!
Can u compare it to brother one ?
Here is the comparison

I just purchased this machine and was trying to draw up the the bobbin thread but the hand wheel won’t turn counter clockwise to bring up the bobbin thread. The needle goes down and the wheel won’t budge to bring it back up. I’m turning it towards me. Anyone else have this issue?
I have buying them and i cant make the last step for using them,so frutasting
L have problem in my drinking cup. Shutting how l solved
Thank You well done
I have this machine. Do you think it’s good for beginners?
Yes, it’s a decent little machine. I use it for travel mending.
This is great for beginners.
I want it (:
I have this one but it won’t thread and it’s very frustrating even though I did what the instruction tell me 😭
Oh no! Have you tried calling Singer customer service?
Are you having issues turning the hand wheel towards you to bring the bobbin thread up? My wheel won’t turn counter clockwise for the full turn and it won’t bring the thread up. I may send it back
I got this sew machine recently and I’m struggling with it. 😅
I’m sorry to hear that. What’s not working?
@@BlueprintDIY the teeth thing where you put the fabric in just keeps on falling
@@BlueprintDIY oh I have another question too. What number on the top should I do for a cotton fabric.
I have owned this cutie for 6 months. I use it for crafts so it gets light use. Today, it will not sew. Has weak power. Light comes on, dims, comes back on, dims again, almost like a warning. No idea what it means but it will not sew. Connections great. Wires great. Does this happen to anyone???
Can I make pillows at a nursing home with this?
Yes
I stole both of mine so not worried about $$$ ayyyy

Singer machine are no longer quality products. Plastic parts. Junk.. Won’t last you more than a year or two at best. Don’t waste your money on plastic sewing machine
@hasaheadachenow That's a year of learning and perfecting your craft. So even if it doesn't last forever at least you will experience the joy of creating something that you like and decide if sewing is your happy place.
