Omg! You just helped me find my missing pieces by showing the compartment. I pulled on the compartment to look there first, but it slid all the way out and I never found them, til watching this.. my mom unboxed the sewing machine, when she came into town. The box was tossed, and i don’t even know where my manual is. I am trying to learn from scratch

The foot control is not easy to get a slow speed out of. The feed dog stepping motor is quite noisy but even noisier on the Singer HD 6800C version. I own both plus the Singer HD 4452. You should like the HD6600C. For reverse when not pressing the foot control, just tap the reverse button real fast and release and it will do one stitch. Do that four or five times rapidly for a controlled reverse lock stitch. These machines will knock out of time real easy but is easy for owners to reset the timing themselves as the bottom access cover just has a couple screws to expose the hook timing gear.

Thank you, that’s good to know about the timing. I normally use an industrial Juki, but got this for a portable backup. I actually picked up a Sailrite LS1 at a steal, for a backup, and for whatever reason can’t get it to loop LOL Maybe that’s why it was so cheap. So when I saw this Singer, figured it was worth a shot.

Many have reported that the pedal has been incorrectly calibrated from the factory and the foot control is practically on/off instead of linear scale. You can fix the problem by opening the foot switch and turning the potentiometer with a flat headed screwdriver. If you want really slow start, you might lose some max speed but it's probably okay with this machine.

Are you still liking this machine? I might pick one up today and I keep going back and forth with my decision.

I ended up finding another 1990’s Kenmore home machine at a thrift shop, like the one I gave away last year. I paid about $180-$200 for it, and felt it was worth it. It had all the original accessories and was in perfect condition. Ironically I think my original Kenmore was about $150 new in 1996. While this singer is decent, it still can’t beat the 90’s Kenmore machines for heavy materials. Those feel like they are made of solid metal. No shaking at all. The only portable machine I’ve tried that comes close, is a quilting grade Juki 2010Q which runs hundreds of $. And I personally found with the size of that, I kept choosing to go to my industrial table-mounted Juki 8100 instead of the 2010, so I sent the 2010 to a new home. Limited space. For reference, the stuff I’m sewing is kinda like dog collars, with regards to thickness and density. I’ll hold onto this Singer as a backup because it’s still stronger than my Brother SE400, which feels like the base plate is going to pull off for heavy stuff. But the Kenmore is going to be my main off-site machine, and the industrial Juki 8100 my main workhorse machine. Aside, my all time favorite was my industrial Juki 5550-5. That was the strongest and smoothest. But it was from the 70’s and the controller card is having issues. I got the 8100 to replace it. I had ordered another 5550 but the dealer talked me into an 8100 that had the full computer, for about the same price. I haven’t tried the more standard 8700, but have heard the 8100 is a budget version of it. I can tell the 8100 not quite as strong as the 5550, but it’s strong enough for this plastic Velcro. If I were sewing like, leather or 3+ layers of denim regularly, the 8100 would struggle. But for that I’d probably want a walking foot machine anyway, like a 1541. But that’s another topic.
