Singer 2259 Tradition 19-Stitch Sewing Machine

Just learning? Just perfect. The Singer 2259 Tradition.

The Singer 2259 Tradition has the features to make starting a new hobby easy. This sewing machine features an automatic four-step buttonhole, easy stitch selection, and snap-on presser feet. Thread the machine quickly and easily. Just follow the arrows on the machine, and you are threaded in a snap.

Nineteen basic, stretch, and decorative built-in stitches provide options for everything from the most basic garment alterations to more elaborate home décor designs.

One of the most important features of the Singer 2259 is its sturdy metal frame on the inside with a lightweight plastic cover on the outside. Please note that not all modern sewing machines have an interior metal frame. Most inexpensive sewing machines are all plastic. Make sure you take this into consideration when purchasing a sewing machine.

In the old days, sewing machines were all metal, inside and outside, and they were also very heavy! Not exactly portable. They were mounted inside a cabinet and were never intended to move from that spot. Every part was metal; gears, knobs, pulleys, etc. The good thing was that they were sturdy and could sew through practically anything. Parts, on the other hand, could be very expensive and metal machines harder to repair.

Features:

  • Heavy Duty Metal Frame
  • Quick-and-easy threading saves time
  • 19 built-in stitches
  • Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter
  • Four Snap-On Presser Feet
  • Four-step buttonhole
  • Free Arm with On-Board Storage
  • Automatic Tension ensures stable stitch quality, whatever type of fabric you use.
  • Built-In Carry Handle makes it easy to transport the machine. The machine can also be mounted into a cabinet in a few easy steps.
  • Soft-sided dust cover included to keep your machine protected and dust-free
  • 110 volt machine designed for United States and Canadian use only

This is a versatile, lightweight machine that is great for sewing, quilting, and decorating clothing. It comes with 25 built-in stitches, a thread cutter, automatic needle threader, drop-in bobbin system, quick-change presser feet, and a one-step automatic buttonholer. This is a great feature, considering most inexpensive machines come with a four-step buttonhole, which requires four steps instead of just one.

The Brother XL2610 is very much like the XL2600i, except for one important feature. This has a four-step buttonholer, which unlike the Brother XL2600i that has a one-step automatic buttonhole, requires four steps instead of one. Because of this, we would recommend the Brother XL2600i. The Brother XL2600i is eligible for Prime Shipping.

This is our personal favorite. It’s not only great for beginners, but the avid sewer as well. Don’t let the low price fool you! This lightweight sewing machine is incredible, especially at such a low price for a computerized sewing machine. The one-step buttonhole alone would make this a great choice because most inexpensive machines come with a four-step buttonhole. Not only that, there are seven buttonhole styles to choose from.

The Brother CS6000i has many of the same features found on a $1,000 high-end sewing machine. It is easier to learn and lightweight, making it easy to carry back and forth between classes or workshops, and it’s reliable. It comes with 9 presser feet, which can be very costly when purchased separately, including a walking foot, spring action quilting foot, quilting guide for foot holder, an attachable oversized table for quilting and large projects, and a hard case/cover. The Brother CS6000i is eligible for Prime Shipping.
