- Needle threading can be tricky
The Singer Confidence gets good reviews from intermediate sewers, who praise for its extensive array of features such as hand-look quilt stitches, special stretch stitches and especially its block-style alphabet for simple monogramming. Owners also praise the easy bobbin system and overall consistent sewing performance. Some owners like the needle threading but others complain it isn't that great. Most owners agree that this is a heavy machine. If you're on a budget, a less feature-laden but still excellent machine would be something like the Brother CS6000i (*est. $180), which is electronic but not computerized. If you can splurge, a high-end computerized sewing machine such as the Bernina Activa 220 (*est. $1,100) will give you more features and the superior quality of stitches that Bernina is known for.
