Singer sewing machines are perhaps the most recognizable in the entire industry. Since 1851, Singer sewing machines have been manufactured in the highest quality standards. They were the first in the world to offer sewing machines that incorporated the zigzag stitch feature. They were also the first in the world to market the electronic sewing machine. Today, Singer sewing machines are among the most advanced machines available anywhere, able to do everything from quilting to embroidery to clothing construction to home décor. With so much versatility, it's no wonder Singer sewing machines have been around for more than 150 years.

Singer's machines can be categorized in four different categories. First, they have a basic machine, which is the most economical. Even so, their basic machines can do some advanced tasks such as utility stitching and buttonholes. The second category is the Scholastic series. The Scholastic Singers are right at home in a teaching environment. They are both durable and practical. Third, Singer offers the Quantum series, which are Singer's top quality machines. Quantum sewing machines offer a host of modern conveniences, including electronic mechanisms. The fourth category is the multi-featured series, which house Singer's multi-featured machines. Regardless of the kind of sewing done, Singer has a machine to fit the bill.

Singer machines can be purchased at many department stores, in catalogs, and on the internet. Because Singers are high-quality and durable sewing machines, one can purchase them used without too much trepidation.

If there is a multi-generational sewer in the family, chances are they might still have an antique Singer. These have become collector's items in recent years. Some people have turned collecting antique Singers into a full-time hobby. One can determine when the machine was manufactured by calling Singer and giving them the serial number. There are also some websites that can help decode the serial number to see when it was made. In order to get a true value of what the antique Singer is worth, there are people who specialize in appraising antique Singer machines. Whether collecting them or using them for hobbies, Singer machines represent quality and durability.
