I have a singer from the late 70’s. It seems to be locked up. Is it fixable or beyond repair.

HI Calvin,
Would you please explain why to stay away from any Singer machine, the reason I ask is because I do have both a Singer and a Brother machine, I know the lower end computerised Brother that I have is not a very well liked machine but when it’s running good I love it, my Singer is a lower end machine I paid about $500 for it, it’s computerised also. I don’t enjoy using the Singer as much as I do the brother. I would really like to know what you really think of it and why and which sewing machine you would recommend,
Thank you for your comment.

Hello! I am a repair tech at a sewing machine store. I think you have written a great article! Very through and I like that you point out all of the sime fixes and acknowledge there are deffinately something not worth trying to fix yourself. I would like to add that most of the major brands have adopted the drop in bobbin and with the exeption of a few machines, they are fully metal on the interior. Just stay away from anything with the name singer on it, and the low end computerized brother machines. As those have the most plastic components. And on a side note, the reason for a plastic bobbin case is because it’s not uncommon with the diesgn for the needle to hit and puncture the bobbin case. And it is much nicer on the machine if it punches through plastic instead of metal. Great article! Just figured I’d give my two cents
