Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had sewn on this machine the first month I had it and it worked beautifully. I should have waited on giving a review. I have had it just 5 months and I sewed on it last week, which is only my second time using it, and the machine sounded like metal was hitting in the top and all the threads on the bottom were bunching up and the needle was breaking from hitting the foot. I called Singer and was told the warranty is only for 90 days and I'll have to get it serviced. I would spend more on getting it serviced than it cost me to begin with. I'm very disappointed in this machine and I will not be buying a Singer again. I bought a Brother sewing machine for $99 and it lasted me 15 years with a lot of heavy sewing. The woman I talked to at Singer told me this is a self lubricating machine and you have to use it to keep everything oiled properly. I don't know how often that is, but this is not the sewing machine for me.
