Computerized Sewing on a Budget
So what makes the Singer 7258 sewing machine stand out from the crowd? Value. You get a lot of function for your money.
Here are some of the features that are included in the Singer 7258:
- 100 stitches – There are 9 basic utility stitches, 6 automatic buttonhole styles, 8 stretch stitches and 76 decorative stitches. The manual explains how to use them, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming.
- Instructional DVD – Many people learn better when they see how things are done. The DVD will help you understand what the manual is saying…
- Automatic needle threader – This is a time saver, especially if it’s tough to see the needle’s eye or your hand-eye coordination is a bit rusty.
- One step buttonholes – If you make anything with buttonholes, a one step process gives you a better result. And it’s a lot easier than a 4 step buttonhole.
- Up/down needle – You can program your needle to end up or down. If you quilt, this is a nice feature that saves time and effort.
- Auto tie-off and auto reverse – This is to secure your thread at the end of a seam, making sure it doesn’t unravel. I can’t tell you how many little knots I’ve tied by hand, in my lifetime, to keep my seams intact!
- Electric start and stop – May take some time to get used to this, but it’s a real time saver.
- Speed – 750 stitches per minute. Very nice if you do lots of long, straight seams or you are a quilter. Not so important if you do small projects like baby clothes or dolls.
Overall the Singer 7258 Stylist gives you good value for a reasonable price. While it is a computerized sewing machine with a learning curve for beginners, it is still a good choice, as there are many features that you will love as you become more accomplished.
If your dreams include embroidery, however, this machine falls short. You can play with the decorative stitches, but you will not be able to do embroidery projects on the Singer 7258.
