After many decades of service, my wife’s old Singer finally went ka-put so we researched several different machines before deciding on the Singer 8763. Not only did Amazon offer the best value, but my credit card had barely cooled when the machine and case arrived – super fast shipping. I know, I know – husbands aren’t supposed to give APPLIANCES as gifts but that’s what she wanted and that’s what she got.

Although this was a Christmas gift the wifey has been dieting and had quite a few outfits to alter before the holidays, so I encouraged her to open the boxes and get acquainted with her new machine. Right away, we were struck by just how much larger this machine was in person than what we’d viewed on the web site. It’s not really huge, just a bit bigger than we’d envisioned. The machine works great, and she is still learning all the functions and features.

One curiousity – there was no instructional DVD with this particular machine, and nothing in the product description to indicate there would be one included, but it sure would be helpful – especially for a guy like me that is not very sewing machine savvy. Beyond the presser feet described on the web site, ours came with a whole ‘nother bag of different presser feet – 4 or 5 others that we have not yet identified. Not sure if this was a packaging mistake or what, but it was a bonus. Singer *should* at least include a descriptive sheet of the different presser feet along with the intended use for each one so we’d know exactly what we’re working with here.

My wife is no stranger to Singer products, but this has even her a bit baffled. There’s a double fistful of presser feet and are left to discover their useful functions on our own. This is the only reason I only rated this product at four stars instead of five.

Overall, first impressions are very favorable and we are both pleased with the purchase. Whether you are new to sewing or a wily veteran seamstress I think you could do quite well with this middle of the line machine. Buy with confidence, but do your homework first.

Great little machine at a great price

I needed to replace a 23 year old Singer 6233 that had served me well, but was starting to become unreliable. My research led me to the Singer Curvy 8763, which, for under $300 and being a Singer with great new features seemed like the one. I have been sewing like mad with it since the day I got it!

I loved the DVD tutorial, and the fact that this machine threads the needle for you is a huge plus. My nearly 50 year old eyes thank Singer for this. Also the bobbin winding is much easier than my old machine. I love the clear bobbin case, so I know before I run out of bobbin thread to replace it. The machine is nice and lightweight and has a nice smooth feel to it. Also, being able to keep my accessories in the removable arm is very cool. The variety of stitches is great as well.
