The SINGER 2662 sewing machine is a fully loaded mechanical machine that is ready to assist you creatively. With an automatic needle threader and top drop-in bobbin with a clear cover to monitor thread usage, the treading of the machine is quick and easy. The ability to lower the feed dogs allows a wide range of creative, free motion work. All stitches are fully adjustable. A 1-step buttonhole, stretch stitches, lots of construction and hem options, and a few decorative stitches are all included.

| I wanted an affordable machine that had plenty of bells and whistles. I was leaning toward the Singer Featherweight, but this caught my eye because it was less expensive. I've put it to the test with a few projects, and it has performed great. The only problem I noticed is that the feet occasionally come off if accidentally bumped. However, it is not that annoying, because it happens when I am not in the middle of stitching. |
price match the quality...i like it...

well, if you guys want a better product, you might spend money more for it...so, you can't expect a machine with middle price with ultra high quality and functions unless you are lucky or the maker are generous...
when i bought this machine, i got training from the seller about how to use this and that...so i don't have to waste my time with the book...but for some more function, i still refer to the book...
i tried the functions...it worked...no problem...i wonder what's going on if it doesn't work since it's not electronic digital function...i think this machine got rebuild now so i got the unbroken one or other reviewers just got a bad new machine...
for me...i got what i want with the price...if i want more of quality...i would definitely buy one of singer 9000 series...(^o^)... |
The Little Machine That Could

As a beginning sewist, this machine was simple and easy for me to use. I chose it because it has a large number of stitches (39) for machines in its class, one-step buttonhole and its reasonable price. I just got rid of Virgina recently, when I traded her in for a Pfaff. (No real fault of hers; I decided to go from an electric to computerized machine. They are worlds apart.)
Here are a few of the features:
-Needle Threader
-One step buttonhole
-Drop-In bobbin
-Free Arm
-Adjustable Stitch Length and Width
-Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure
-Adjustable Needle Position
What I love about the 2662 now is the number of feet available for such a basic machine. I purchased the machine in 2004. By 2006, I had made two table runners and had a very false start on a knit wrap. I've picked up sewing again and I've graduated to sheer fabric and patterns with gathers. To complete these projects, I've ordered a gathering foot and a walking foot. While I was at it, I got the ruffler attachment, 1/4" foot, cording foot, button sewing foot and invisible zipper foot.
The machine comes with a blindstitch hem foot, rolled hemmer, button hole foot, zipper foot, general purpose foot, overcasting foot and special purpose foot. The only foot I don't own is the darning foot. With the selection of feet, I think this machine will grow with you as you move from beginner to intermediate sewing level.
Singer customer service has also been great about answering any questions I have. The reps are always pleasant and friendly. I had some problems ordering the straight stitch foot because on the website, there was both a a 1/4" foot and the straight stitch foot. I ordered the straight stitch foot and they sent the 1/4" foot. This happened twice. Finally, they figured out that it was the same foot and corrected the website.
The only problem I ever had with stitches was when I used two pieces of regular thread to topstitch denim. Sometimes, one of the threads would be too loose. It could have totally been my fault because I didn't know to adjust the tension.
Dislikes
The machine is noisy and vibrates at higher speeds. This is probably not a fair criticism because it is an entry-level machine. You do have to have a long thread tail when you start your stitches. |
just okay

So far this is just an 'okay' sewing machine; definitely NOT great!!! The straight and zig-zag stitches are fine....but the other stitches just won't work! I've tried all I know to get them to work but NO LUCK.
Will have to take it to my local Singer shop to have them look at this. Which is very frustrating!!
Thankfully, it's still under warranty! |

| This machine worked fine for about 6-8 months but after that it just began to be one problem after another. The thread gets caught in the tensioner and begins to sew microscopic stitches and then quits. Wouldn't recommend. |
