Ratings & Reviews for SINGER Fashion Mate 3342 Sewing Machine

Needs oiled!

My machine squealed from the first day. I took it to a repair shop and the repairman said it had never had any oil in it. He oiled it and said this kind has to be taken apart and oiled at least once a month! That's a LOT of work since you have to disassemble most of the machine to oil it! At least it runs now. Also, it does not work well with heavy fabric like denim or canvas.

Light weight and the instructions are helpful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sewing machine is fantastic. I do wish it came with more bobbins because I filled all 4 of them last night and I started doing some sewing. I was trying to finish up sewing and my mom unplugged the extension cord that I had my sewing machine plugged into. The photos are going to be fuzzy because I can't find anywhere else that I can take the pictures at.

The training video makes a world of difference!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thirty-plus years ago, I tried sewing and was a horrible student. I gave up because I just didn't get it. The machine I was using kept breaking needles, and there was no manual, and this was in the days before Internet and YouTube. I admit that I was very intimidated, so I first watched the tutorial video on the product page a couple of times. Just seeing up close how to wind a bobbin and thread the needle gave me the courage to start sewin...

Singer quality in a light weight portal size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this Singer Fashion Mate Model 3342 is marketed as a beginner machine at an attractive price, it offers more than enough features to all our home sewing projects. Threading the machine was easy by following the diagram card included with the package. The 3342 offers a wide variety of stitch types with adjustable length and width and even does buttonholes in one easy step. Overall this Singer is a great value and should hold up for a long ...

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Singer Fashion Mate 3342 Mechanical Sewing Machine is great!!! It is very user-friendly and easy to use. It has 110 different stitch applications for all your sewing needs!!! It is pretty light weight and doesn't take up too much room. It makes life a little easier and convenient being able to just hop on for all our little sewing needs!!

Great machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an upgrade from what I have. This machine is so easy to use! I love how simple it is do multiple designs and thread. The motor is quiet, ease in switching stitches, has pictures to show how to switch the bobbin, way to turn the wheel, it’s solid and does not move around, one step button, and the instructional video is amazing!

Quality easy compact-ish sewing machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the simplicity of the sewing machine and that it’s still built with quality.It’s not weighed down with complex buttons and things that don’t make sense, but instead it’s very much a plug and go. I also like the component it came with an insert for sewing classes which I intend on using as a fairly newbie to the sewing machine. I would like if it came in black or a darker color than white.

Great machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine, I have tried all the features and they all work perfect. I just followed the instructions and practiced making button holes and the different stitches. It is what I expected from singer only the best. Great quality. I definitely recommend.

Nice beginner machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been sewing for my granddaughters for a few years. The Singer Fashion Mate 3342sewing machine is a nice beginner machine. It's easy to thread with the auto threader. I like that it's lightweight so it's easy to take to the table when I want to sew and store when not needed. I do not really like that it doesn't come with a manual so you have to go to the website. But lots of companies are going that route these days. I'll let my granddaugh...

Fantastic product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was headed to a renaissance fair in a few weeks and needed a new tool to do the job. I have zero experience with sewing anything and after a couple of videos online this was a breeze to use and did a great job with my alterations for my costume.

I’ve fallen in love with sewing again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I received the SINGER Fashion Mate 3342, I’ve fallen in love with seeing again!! I was an avid seamstress as a teenager back in the ‘60s. I made just about all my dresses then. I haven’t sewn much since then. I needed to hem several pair of work pants for my husband so when this machine arrived, I got right on it. This machine is simple to thread and operate. The instruction manual was missing, but I found very good tutorials on YouTube a...

YAY!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super sad when my previous machine, a machine that is no longer made, stopped sewing properly. I tried many things to fix it, to no avail. I was on the hunt for a new machine and this one popped up. So far I've had it for about a week and completed two mid-size projects on it and I really like it! There are some improvements on this machine that my previous one did not have (it might just be Singer brand norm though). The bobbin is easy t...

Nice features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Singer Fashion Mate 3342 sewing machine. I like that it is lightweight and portable so you can easily take it with you. It was easy to thread as well as to thread bobbins. I love the drop and sew bobbin feature that is right in front of the needle that makes it so easy to replace the bobbin. It comes with accessories like bobbins, needles, feet, a seam ripper and more. It has several built in stitches to choose from that can ...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a SINGER- Fashion Mate 3342 Sewing Machine from TryIt, and I absolutely love it! It took me a bit to figure out, but once I did I was hooked! I made some little dresses for my granddaughters and they turned out pretty well.
