What is the difference between the Mending Machine and Sewing Machine?

A mend machine is designed for quick and dirty repair work whereas a sewing machine is designed for more professional garment and fabric creation.

I did not keep that sewing machine so I do not know if you can change the presser feet out. I wanted a more heavy duty machine and even though they described it as being something that would do seveal different things once I received it I realized that it was more like a childs beginner sewing machine. It did not have a regular sewing machine foot. It was a small plastic one and it is very small machine so if you are wanting to sew more than the basic materials I don't think it will do it. Sorry but maybe this will give you a little more information about it.

You can basically do either. I have done both and either works OK. It is easier of course to get the pre-wound factory units and they do package them in such a way, that they do not become unwound during transit, unlike the unit I received, the spool was unwound to start, so I had to redo it anyways. I'd say try both and see what you prefer, but both apply in any case, just depends on the individual I would say. The factory does do a good job and getting them wound perfect however. I suspect a machine does this by the perfection of the winde myself.

Actually, no it does not have that feature, BUT it has sewed many long hours, and I absolutely love the ease of the machine. It is really durable and does very well for a straight forward basic machine with a few nice decorative stitches. It is an excellent machine for the money. Thanks.

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

If this will be your only sewing machine, I wouldn't recommend it for dressmaking, as it only does straight stitch. Therefore you cannot do buttonholes, blind hemstitch, overcasting,etc. I would definitely use it for home dec purposes like draperies and slipcovers because of the larger size and higher speed.

The SINGER 3232 Simple sewing machine can be used to sew a whole variety of fabric thicknesses. When sewing something like a patch, be sure to use a sewing machine needle that is appropriately sized for the weight and thickness of the fabrics, such as a SINGER style 2020 needle, in at least size 16.

Not as good as the one I use for my other sewing machine. The other one has a piece that goes below the foot that stops the fabric from going past 1/4 inch.

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

Sorry I gave everything I bought including the sewing machine as a gift, so I can't help you with your question.

I would call singer themselves to be sure of the exact number the foot has to be for your machine. I believe singer took over brother sewing machines. Call early in the morning at 8am to talk to some one right away. I want you to know that singer has not been the best with customer service in the past couple years. They have really let their quality slip. I am sorry to see this in singer but they should be able to answere your question. The best sewing machine is a Janome.

I think the biggest difference is the 4-step buttonholer on this machine and the 10 stitches versus the one-step buttonholer and 25 stitches on the 2600. The stitch length, width and thread tension are also preset for you on the lower end model. It's worth the $16 for the high end model because 4-step buttonholer is a pain and requires a lot of patience. Also, if there is no stitch or thread tension adjustments you can make yourself, you are stuck trying to work around problem materials on the machine without any way of adjusting the machine.

I bought this for my wife and here is her answer as she has both machines. The project is a good machine and is also a sewing machine where the 770 is not. The 770 is faster, much faster and will take up to a 5x7 hoop where the project will only take a 4x4 hoop. Both are good machines, it depends on what features you are wanting.

The bobbins are medal ones not plastic. So depends on your sewing machine. I just use them for thread .

I wondered the same thing about my Brother Sewing Machine, I went on google to find out what sew machines would best fit the Gathering Foot and, there was the answer. It gave so much information about the subject.
