Singer 7468 Sewing Machine Review

The Singer 7468 sewing machine has the same stitches and features as the Confidence 7469 model and can often be found for a discount, making it a potentially great deal if you're looking for a new machine. The easy, computerized control panel and the large selection of sewing stitches are a match for those who want simple operation but lots of flexibility for making clothes, quilting or craft sewing.

Singer 7468 Stitch Patterns
With 100 built-in stitches, including 6 styles of 1 step buttonholes and an infinity length buttonhole stitch, you can manage a large variety of projects.

The selection of decorative stitches is outstanding for this price range. There are satin stitches like Crescent, Bead, Sphere, Steps, and Diamond and some of the most intricate hem stitches like Greek Key, Kite Tail, Criss-Cross and Vine.

There are even some fun "novelty" patterns like floral stitches and a puppy. They can be sewn continuously or just once to decorate a corner, the top of a pocket, or the edge of a project.

A pattern reference guide pulls out from the base of the machine for easy reference. Stitch selection and settings are made using push buttons around the LCD screen. There are 12 one-push buttons for the most utilized stitches to speed up project completion.

Singer 7468 Presser Feet
A total of 5 snap-on presser feet come with this machine. The presser foot lever has 3 height settings for down, up, and extra high up. Presser foot pressure is not adjustable.

Singer 7468 Sewing Machine Features
This sewing machine offers lots of nice features that focus on easy machine set up and some task automation for a fairly cheap price.

Automatic needle threader
Top loading drop-in bobbin
Automatic bobbin winder
Adjustable top thread tension with an "automatic" setting

Push button controls handle many sewing tasks:

Stitch selection
Twin needle control prevents selection of stitch patterns incompatible with a twin needle
Needle Up/Down programming button
Reverse button conveniently located above the needle arm

The Singer 7468 sewing machine uses the horizontal top thread delivery arrangement for smoother thread flow, however an auxiliary spool pin is included for over-sized thread spools. A drop feed dog lever lowers the feed dogs for darning, monogramming, free hand embroidery and free motion quilting.

The extension arm slips off of the machine allowing for free-arm sewing of circular projects like sleeves, cuffs, and hemming pants.

With the right needle, this machine will handle lightweight fabrics like chiffon and crepe as well as heavy weight fabrics such as duck, canvas, and denim.

A carry handle is built into the top of the sewing machine for easy transport, the bobbin cover is see-through, and a work light illuminates the needle plate.

A number of included accessories store inside the flatbed include extra needles, 4 extra bobbins, auxiliary spool pin, felt discs, spool caps, a combination seam ripper/brush and a screw driver.

One common complaint of those who purchase their first sewing machine is that they didn't buy enough functionality and, therefore, quickly outgrow their machine. The selection of stitches and presser feet provided with the Singer 7468 sewing machine will last a beginner for years.

20 Bobbins for New Style Singer Sewing Machines | 04641

$6.99

I have an old, maybe antique singer sewing machine. How much is it worth?

It is blue, includes the owners manual, bobbins, foot-pedal, and it works great! Any idea of the value on it? Or maybe where I could find more information.

Blue sounds like 60s to 70s... not an antique.

The value is the price a willing seller accepts from a willing buyer. Generally not much for old machines unless they're special in some way.
