Disadvantages of a Singer 7442

1. It is not a heavy-duty machine and cannot handle several alterations.
Because this sewing machine is made compact, it cannot take too many varied things at a time. It is made from lightweight quality, hence, is capable for lightweight sewing only, and not for upholstery.

2. The needle tends to always stop in the "up" position making it very hard to pivot.
This is a very petty problem though but the needle could've stopped wherever the sewer wanted it to.

3. The foot feed tends to be sticky.
When you press on it, sometimes it won't go and then all of a sudden, it releases like a mad loose horse. Maybe this one was missed by quality control. But with a few greasing, everything works out well.

4. It has poor quality buttonholes and looks amateur.
The stitches seem very far apart from each other that the buttonholes seem to unravel. This machine tends to be over-engineered that trivial details such as this have been practically ignored. Although this seems to be a minor problem, nevertheless, the stitches can be beautiful and decorative.
