If you are new to sewing or are looking for a supremely easy-to-use machine, the Singer 7258 Stylist is an excellent choice. This machine is one of the easiest to use and set up, and it has a respectable library of stitches that should cover most projects. The buttonholes it produces have excellent stitch quality with a straightforward one-step process. The 7258 has a built-in thread cutter, and its automatic bobbin winder makes it very easy for a beginner to get up and running with their first sewing project without major frustration. Amateur and veteran users alike will have no problem quickly and efficiently accomplishing their desired tasks.
While the stitch quality on this machine is quite high, it is still outmatched by the Juki HZL-F300. This is something to consider if you need perfect stitches — but you’ll need to be willing to deal with a much more expensive machine. However, the stitches produced by the Singer 7258 are usually sufficient for most projects, and you should consider this model if you are shopping on a budget and want a hassle-free and very competent machine.
