Singer 1304 Review: Customers’ Feedback
Positive feedback:
- Small and portable, easy to bring anywhere and can be packed away in a closet or cupboard when not in use.
- Has twin needle function for sewing edges or can also be used as a decorative stitch.
- Robust base in spite of its size
Critical feedback:
- Vertical, front-loading bobbin system doesn’t make it easy to replace bobbin and raising the bobbin thread presents a challenge.
- The thread always jams and breaks which is attributed to the lack of manual tension capability.
