Excellent build quality

Despite its light weight and easy-carry feeling, the Singer 2273 Sewing Machine is far from flimsy. It is able to carry the Singer name proudly as it represents the tradition for strength and durability. The machine is very ruggedly built, giving users that extra security, without being too heavy to move around. I would go so far as to say that this sewing machine is probably the perfect combination of usability and high quality build.

Unique features

Consumers rarely expect to receive a wide range of features with such an entry-level sewing machine, but the Singer 2273 Sewing Machine is full of surprises. The automatic needle threading function is great and easy to use and the decorative stitch options add an element of creativity and fun to your work. That being said, the basic stitches also work beautifully.

Additional features such as the 1 step button hole, front bobbin loading system, easy lay-in threading system, adjustable needle position selector and electronic foot pedal, make this sewing machine far above average.

Complete accessory pack

If users were not satisfied with the whole host of features on offer from the Singer 2273 then they can’t grumble at the accessories that come with it. We’re not talking just a couple of bits and bobs to enhance the sewing experience, just about everything you could imagine is included. The pack contains various presser feet, transparent bobbins, a step by step instruction booklet, spool holders, various needles, a fabric guide, a lint brush, and much more. It is actually a very generous offering from Singer and is just what you need to get going.

Advantages

The major advantages to the Singer 2273 Sewing Machine are that it manages to combine ease of use with high quality. This machine really is so simple to use, beginners will not have any troubles getting to grips with it, and even if they do, the instructional DVD explains everything very clearly. Despite being very user-friendly the 2273 doesn’t have a cheap and nasty feel; it still works like a high-end sewing machine.

Another plus for the Singer 2273 is its variety of stitch options – users can choose from a huge range of basic or decorative stitches to make sewing more fun, and even adjust the stitch length and width.

Disadvantages

If there are any complaints about the Singer 2273 you would be being incredibly picky when you consider how affordable this machine is. However, when using the sewing machine it can get a little noisy compared to professional machine which isn’t ideal, but it is still much quieter than you would expect for an entry level product.

The verdict

As you have probably gathered, I am a huge fan of the Singer 2273 and feel confident that it is the perfect companion for all entry-level sewers. It is the full package at a great price so you really can’t go wrong.

  1. The Singer 2273 can take care of all you needs and doesn’t cost a lot. The warranty on this machine is 25 years. With it you get 25 stitches, half of which are stretch stitches. With the Singer 2273 you also get a small light over the sewing area which is a great extra feature.
    For newbies the machine comes with a DVD explaining how to thread the machine. Not threading the machine properly will make it harder for you to sew. It is advisable to try different stitches to see what the proper tension/length levels are for the different stitches. Overall an outstanding machine that is a joy to use.
