Sewing Machine Review: Singer Professional 9100
I have been sewing for the fifth year, and I use a singer computerized sewing machine. During this time my machine has never broken down and did not need repair. Of course, now that my skills have grown many times over, I have plans to purchase an industrial sewing machine, but so far this has not happened, I sew on a household machine and would like to share some impressions about working with it.
Speed control is excellent, with smooth starts and stops. Threading is easy. Stitch selection is simple. Bobbin winding is straightforward.
The machine is quiet, this is important for me, since mostly I work when my children are asleep and I would not want to wake them up with loud noises.
The light is bright and the LCD screen is easy to read.
Lots of fun stitches (the machine has 404 different stitches, such as letters, botanical elements, various types of button loops and much more) and after some experimenting you’ll get it. Endless decorating ideas. I sew everyday for at least a few hours a day and I’ve yet to have problems or run out of decorating ideas.
Snap presser foot is awesome, super fast to change from a zipper to a regular, or between almost any foot.
Probably the only drawback of this machine is that it can hardly stitch many layers of fabric, for example, if you sew a blanket with filler, you have to pull the fabric with your hand as a result, an imperfect stitch is obtained, for such purposes, of course, an industrial sewing machine is needed, and the machine copes with the rest of everyday tasks perfectly!

ReviewsSinger 9100: Shocking Sewing Machine Review!Sewing Become Easy
“I’ve been using the Singer Professional 9100 for five years now, and it’s been a steadfast companion in my sewing journey. Its speed control, smooth threading, and simple stitch selection make it a joy to work with. The array of 404 stitches opens up endless creative possibilities, and the ease of changing presser feet adds to its versatility. The quiet operation is a huge plus for me, allowing me to sew even when my children are asleep without disturbing them. The bright light and clear LCD screen are additional bonuses.

Get a walking foot for sewing layers.

I will definitely try it next time! Thanks!

No need for an industrial machine! Look for a vintage all-metal machine made before about 1975. Smooth, quiet, and able to sew through, for example, 8 layers of denim. Vintage Kenmores are especially good in this regard because of the extra high lift of the foot. Other bonuses include that they are inexpensive and you can maintain them yourself.

I agree with Mary. I would much rather sew on my grandmother’s 1956 Featherweight (Singer 221) than any computerized machine. It can handle anything I’ve thrown at it, including multiple layers of heavy canvas.

wow! Amazing sewing machines were being made at that time! I really should take a closer look at them! Thank you, Sarah!
Sarah Nunez
They *are* amazing! And you can still find them for reasonable prices if you look around. Easy to maintain, too, and parts are still available. They don’t have all of the fancy stitches of the newer machines (although there is a zig-zag attachment you can get), but for everyday sewing, they can’t be beat!

Thank you, Mary, for your advice! I couldn’t even think of paying attention to such sewing machines! I’ll try to look for them!:)
