These innovations include the invention of the first electric-powered domestic machine.I came away with mixed feelings after reviewing the Singer Promise 1409. It is a basic sewing machine that I first thought would be good for beginners. However, I came away with a slightly different opinion about this basic sewing machine. The Singer Promise 1409 looks like any other basic sewing machine. It has two easy to manipulate dials on front of the head that are clearly marked to help the user select one of the nine on board stitches and to adjust the stitch length and width. The reverse button and threading guide are clearly marked as well, indicating that this would be a very easy machine to thread and operate. As with any significant decision, thorough research is key. While the Singer Heavy Duty 4452 is a promising successor to the 1408, remember that the sewing machine landscape evolves, and there may be even newer models in 2023.

Singer

Though Singer died in 1875, the company he founded continued to thrive. Over the years, I.M. Singer and Co became the Singer Manufacturing Company and then the Singer Company. The company dominated the global sewing market for a century, from its inception in 1851 up until the 1950s. The Promise 1512 sewing machine has 14 basic stitches from which to choose, selected by the simple turn of a dial. Because the stitch length and stitch width are preset, there's no guesswork, making this a great machine for a hobbyist or even a beginner. During both world wars, the company ceased sewing machine production for a time. Instead, they manufactured items under government contracts. These products included bombs and munitions! The sewing machine is also equipped with a free arm, facilitating the sewing of cylindrical or tubular items such as cuffs, sleeves, and pant legs. This feature allows for easier maneuverability and accessibility when working on smaller, intricate pieces.

Another good thing about this machine is that it can sew on any fabric, thanks to its adjustable stitch length. This feature enables you to sew strong seams and prevents fabric bunching. After WWII, overseas competition for sewing machine manufacturing ratcheted up intensely. Both European and Japanese manufacturers flooded the market with new machines. This unprecedented level of competition pushed Singer out of its top seat in the market. You can use the serial number as an identifier to determine the model number, the year your machine was made, and even how much it is worth! The stitch quality is acceptable, but even after following the tension guide in the owner’s manual the stitches were not what I would call well defined. Regardless of the tension setting, straight and utility stitches appear to look more like a thread line without any clear stitch separation. The stitches are strong and tight enough, but in my opinion, actual stitch definition leaves something to be desired.The right stitch: easier sewing with better results. Includes 6 Basic, 2 Decorative and 4-Step Buttonhole In the world of sewing, the choice of a sewing machine can make all the difference. The Singer Promise 1408 has undoubtedly left its mark as a reliable and versatile companion for countless sewing enthusiasts. However, as times change, so do the needs and expectations of sewists. On average, this machine weighs about 14 lbs. This means that you can carry it around without struggling too much. As a result, the sewing machine is suitable for people who move around a lot. Price
