Constructed with durability in mind, the Singer 1408 is designed to withstand the rigors of regular sewing tasks. Its reliable performance ensures consistent stitch quality and overall longevity. Special Features - 13 built-in stitches, Free arm, Two dials, Stitch length selection, 21 applications like stretch stitching, button fixing, rolled hemming, etc., Auto tripping bobbin system; 4-step buttonhole sewing, LED light The Singer 1408’s Testament Through it all, the Singer 1408 Promise stood as the unsung hero. Its reliability ensured Maria never faced unexpected breakdowns mid-project, and its precision made every stitch perfect. It was more than a machine; it was Maria’s partner, echoing her passion, dedication, and artistry. There’s something innately personal and magical about sewing. It’s not just the act of threading the needle or piecing fabrics together; it’s about weaving stories and memories. Among her many creations, one stands out vividly in her memory: a delicately crafted baby gown for the firstborn of a dear friend.

The Singer Promise 1408 is very small so most features that allow the machine to cool down or use power more efficiently are not available, that and the fact that it is made entirely out of low quality plastic (except the needle and needle plate of course.) The motor on the inside of the machine tends to heat up extremely. At times due to the power output that the sewing machine is plugged into. The Rich Tapestry of Fabrics: Throughout the year, Maria worked with an array of fabrics. From delicate chiffons demanding a gentle touch to rugged denims requiring resilience, her Singer 1408 became the bridge between her imagination and reality. It handled each fabric, whether light or heavy, with seamless precision. Consistent Quality: Whether sewing light fabrics or more dense materials, the machine consistently produces high-quality stitches.Although the Singer Promise 1409 promotional material indicates that it has adjustable stitch width features, it is not as easy to maneuver as one would expect. The dials on front of the machine are used to not only make stitch selection, but to set the stitch length and width as well. It took a little bit of trial and error to actually achieve the desired stitch consistency. Low Maintenance: The Singer 1408 doesn’t demand frequent or complicated upkeep, which is a boon for regular users. Comprehensive Manual: For those moments of doubt or confusion, the detailed user manual provides clear guidance.

It Is Unbalanced In my opinion, this is a rather poor design feature since you have to take the accessories case off each time you rewind the bobbin or change thread colors. Threading the machine proved to be a little more daunting than winding the bobbin, however. I can’t be certain if it was the machine’s design or the particular machine I was working with, but the take up bar at the final thread guide did not clear the top of the machine.

Additional features Singer har mange års erfaring – faktisk har virksomheden eksisteret siden 1851. Allerede det år lancerede brandet den første symaskine. The sewing machine is also equipped with a free arm, facilitating the sewing of cylindrical or tubular items such as cuffs, sleeves, and pant legs. This feature allows for easier maneuverability and accessibility when working on smaller, intricate pieces. When the motor is running and causing the sewing machine to vibrate both internally and externally it will cause a lot of noise. This can also make the Singer Promise 1408 more prone to breakage as a result of constantly vibrating which will weaken the sewing machine’s build quality even more.
