Singer 6800C Heavy Duty Sewing Machine

I bought the Singer HD 6800C sewing machine for myself for Christmas. I wanted to buy this machine during the COVID shut down when my old machine broke but it was sold out. I ended up buying a Ja**me HD machine. It's a good machine for basic items but I needed one that could handle denim and also have a lot of stitches without having to hook up to a computer. This machine does that and more. It's super easy to use, seems to be very well built and the instructions are easy to follow. After having it for a month now, I would recommend. It sews really good and is definitely user friendly. The only thing I would say Singer could improve is to include a user manual. That is not included. It must be downloaded on the computer and printed off. No big deal but come on, included the manual.

I was attracted to the 6800c because of its advanced features. I’ll never use 98% of the programmed stitches. However, I love the programmable needle up/down feature. Also the automated thread cutter and stitch knot. Makes securing the beginning and ending of a stitch line so easy. The motor is powerful and pressed through leather and heavy material.

Very happy with my 6800C. Quick to learn how to use and it is able to handle all the different materials (cotton, denim in multiple layers) easily.

good quality

I am not disappointed! It is everything it appears to be in the add. Thanks for continuing to produce a reliable product as I remember my mother’s Singer when I was a little girl in 1965.

I am very happy with my purchase (HD6800C). I bought this model because it has the stitch speed option and I just love it! I love the price for what I get and can only say one thing I did not like is the color, sorry but wished it came in the new black. Everything else I think is great!

This is my 2nd sewing machine and my 2nd singer sewing machine. I am enjoying it very much. It has a lot of bells and whistles compared to my singer from 30 yrs ago and I'm putting it to the test. I feel this heavy duty machine will more than fill my needs of what I put my older machine through, Mardi Gras costumes, dance recital costumes, etc. Still getting used to it, but love it so far. Wouldn't trust any other brand.

I bought this machine for my daughter. I have had this same model for about 4 years and I love it! It’s a great machine.

It is a decent machine especially with all the stitch settings allowing for many different options to be used like the overcast stitch. However, this machine is very inconsistent since the bobbin is plastic and almost every time I sew I have to constantly test the stitches for about 10-20 minutes which is not the case for machines with metal bobbins and adjustable bobbin cases. Also, if you lose the foot pedal, you are done for as singer does not provide any replacements on the sight. I’ve bought the one they offer on the site and it turned out not being compatible with my machine even though they had the same input. Overall, if you’re one who sees a variety of projects, get a different machine. If you do simple things like intricate designs, this machine is good. If you’re a beginner, get a machine with a metal bobbin case, the brand should not matter as those are more effective and consistent in general.

Purchased a week ago because of the auto knot and cut the thread, while most of the functions I’ve used so far are good,I’m having issues with the very functions that made me purchase the machine. The auto thread cutter makes a very loud sound, cuts the thread intermittently and the fabric gets hung up in the bobbin compartment, I’m really not happy with what’s happening, I’ve also had issues with the tension…WOW…I have always depended on Singer but I’m not happy😞

Perfect machine for what we do.

I was looking for a machine to sew denim with ease. This machine does just that. It also sews through quilt sandwiches with grace and ease. The features are what makes the machine. I really like the drop feed and the tie off feature.

I love the machine but wish it had come with an owner's manual.

Sews great and has lots of options. Easy to thread. Top load bobbin is nice

I bought this a year ago as I had been sewing on my mom's 1958 Singer. I have been so disappointed. I had to stop using it as everytime I did I had problems with the bobbin case. I pulled it out again recently to do some button holes and same thing. The thread would catch, the bobbin case came loose. I'd open it up, reset the case and try again with only the same issue. Along with a blinking message on the display that I could not find the meaning of. I spent a lot of time trying to problem solve using the manual and YouTube. In the end, I pulled out the Singer Slant machine in all it's antiquity and had no problems.

I am a seamstress and This machine lacks the power to go through seams on jeans and it doesn’t like to go through heavy fabric when sewing zippers in coats. The cheaper machines have more power. Reverse button is in a horrible location , my hand is always hitting it when trying to turn the fabric

Had this now for a couple week, using it quite a bit already. I chose this machine for it's heavy duty sewing capability. The machine's computer is easy to use. I love the lock stitch and the cutter especially. I'm sewing on heavy sweater fabrics so I am cleaning under the plate often as fuzz accumulates quickly, but that's to be expected. I am also using the even feed foot for these projects, which at first was not working but seems to be okay now. The arm on the foot that follows the needle shaft would stick in the up position and then cause knotting up because the feed wasn't happening. Other brands I've used have a pronged arm that attaches around the needle shaft screw so it stays in place. This one only sets on top so there is nothing to keep it moving with the shaft. I rubber banded it in place but it would either come off or break. Again, it seems to be working now.

I bought this product in June, I have had nothing but problems with it. I can do a project without having to stop multiple times because it jams up. Now my reverse is not working correctly. I will never buy another one.

Changed the needle to denim needle and sewing canvas super easy. Fonts are not that great but it’ll do. Easy to thread and good machine.. Manual is not very helpful to me

Efficient. Easy to comprehend instructions.
