When describing the machine, it states that the stitch width is between 3.0 &amp; 7.0mm, but the table says 5.0 to 7.0mm. Which is correct?

On two needle models, it has 4.5 mm (11/64ths) and 7 mm (9/32nds). I have had this machine (my first serger) for a couple of months and am enjoying learning a new way of sewing, nice finished seams and rolled hems. I like it a lot for the price.

I cannot remember....I am sure you can go online with Singer and see...or YouTube. I bought the more expensive model because it did have, I think, more stitch designs, it also cuts thread and I felt for a little extra money, I would go with the best, as it might be my last machine. I test drove the Bernina, Viking, Baby Lock.....I hate my Janome, which is why I was trying to find a better machine overall....I felt the Bernina is a rip-off...women ooh and ah over it to beat the band, but honestly....for the thousands of dollars and the fact that feet are $50.00 each and more...it is an advertising schmooze. Getting women to believe the Bernina is the best is just that...a schmooze! Viking and Singer are now made at the same manufacturing plant....Brother and Baby Lock are made by the same company, also. I have a stand alone embroidery machine by Janome...and I have a Babylock Serger (it's awesome)....and of all the machines I own..,.if I have a project....I go immediately to my Singer Quantum Stylist....it has the strength and the power and all the stitch designs I will ever need...it is much easier to program than the Brother...easier to thread than the Brother...is quieter than the Brother and when it cuts the thread it is MUCH quieter than the Brother and I cannot imagine a project other than sewing awning canvas that it can't do. If you are going to sew awning canvas, then get a mechanical machine...don't be fooled by the word COMMERCIAL....get a TRUE hardcore mechanical machine that doesn't do anything but sew straight stitches

Linda, You may vary length and width on most stitches. On the stretch stitches the length is pre-set. Thankyou, Stephen

It is the output width. What you will fold and sew on to project, raw edges folded under not included in this measurement. Michele

Julie, do you know the ballpark cost of the PE-780D? I'm doing my research on embroidery machines before I make a decision. There's not too many distributors in my area so I wanted to make sure I get a good price.

It's the 5.2" one. For one thing they are round. Not sure where that 9.3x7.1 comes from, way off.Also note: from the time of my original post only 2 have stopped working, and one is getting a little flakey. Might be the battery, I didn't investigate. Recommend buying a few spares anyway.

It tells you on the screen what foot is best to use with that stitch, but I have ignored that in the past. I doesn't know what foot is on the machine, so it can't stop you from sewing. I don't know if you damaged your machine (somehow) while using the wrong foot would mean that your warranty would be invalidated, though.

I think the needles are just you average size ones. But I sent my machine back because it didn't work when I got it.

I am not exactly sure, but I have yet to be able to get the machine I bought to work. I had my old machine since 1998. The sizing I am not sure of, but I could not fit the original, so bought this larger one.

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

Hi Helen----No clue about what the 3.7". It must be a typo. The illustration is pretty accurate as to what to expect.We use our Precision Pet Coop for baby chicks inside our bigger chicken which is a small converted dog pen.Good Luck.

I don't see that model under "Product Descriptions". I has an XL 2230, etc. However, I have purchased products that did not have my model number listed and they still worked. You can give it a try and if it doesn't work, then return it. Here's the model listed: Product Description Use overcast stitches and see difference foot makes in appearance. Fits the following machines: PE770, LS2125i, XL2230, XL2600i, XL2610, XL3510, XL3750, ES2000, CP6500, CP7500, 1034D, PC210PRW, PC420PRW, SE400, LB6800PRW

Make sure your embroidery foot is properly on and screwed onto the machine, if not properly placed on it will break/bend needles. Also there are certain size needles for types of fabric, cotton types use needle size 80/90, for heavier like fleece, layers or quilted items use 100 size. Hope this helps. Also check to make sure your bobbin is not affected, the needle going down can nest in the bobbin and make a big mess in that area.

It tells you which foot to use when you select a stitch. I believe it's also in a chart on the manual, but I'm not at home right now so I can't double check.

The machine uses plastic bobbins. It's in storage so I can't measure, but according to the specs it's 8.8 inches from front to back. It's a good machine -- I've enjoyed using it.

Sorry, I don't use the "stitch and scan" feature, so I can't answer your question. Maybe another reviewer can.

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.
