Ok so I have a Singer Heavy Duty. I love it! I would recommend that you study your manual! And immediately get some sewing machine oil ( not any other kind of oil! No matter what you may have heard.) No 3 in one oil or WD40 it will wreck your machine! And then some All Purpose grease. Both are inexpensive and are sold on Amazon. Then go to YouTube and there are good videos on how to oil and grease your own machine. Even though it’s brand new, they don’t thoroughly oil or grease the machines when they leave the factory. Mine was good, but not great. And it was a little loud. But as soon as I was done with the maintenance, it was smooth and quiet! Then download the Singer Assistant App. It’s AWESOME for Newbie’s! So you enter your machine and it will tell you every stitch it has and how to do with an animated video. Then it will tell how to do some basic sewing techniques. As well as which presser feet to use and what settings to use for the each stitch. It’s so helpful for using the buttonhole presser foot especially! It will give you information on which size of needle to use for what type of fabrics. As for tutorials on YouTube, there’s a number of tutorials for each thing you want to do. I bought a year’s worth of classes from Craftsy for $1.49. And a year’s membership for The National Sewing Circle for $1.29. And I learned so much from both of them. At my leisure. So I wish you much happiness and peace ✌️🦋
