I am very happy with my new machine. It's the first new sewing machine I've had in 42 years, and it is just as good as my trusty, and wonderful, old Singer 'portable' machine. It is even more lightweight, probably because of the outside plastic case. I find it to be very simple to use. The automatic threader works beautifully, and is a great feature. The machine was easy to learn to use by watching the video and reading quickly through the instruction booklet.
My only complaint is minor: the bobbin does not fill up more than half way before it automatically stops. I've learned to fill up two bobbins at a time, just because they seem to run out quickly while I do my machine quilting. I've made several quilted tote bags and one baby quilt so far, and it has been excellent for those jobs. My sewing is limited to hems, and items for my house, including pillow shams and duvet covers. Although I don't sew often, my standards are high. I use good quality materials, and want my seams to the straight and even. I expect a sewing machine to be heavy-duty enough to sew through two layers of upholstery fabric, plus trim or cording, including where the trim overlaps for tidy joinder.
I found the Singer 6038 was not up to these, and other tasks. Specifically, the automatic needle threader did not work after I changed the needle the second time, it was not sturdy enough to sew through overlapping trim or cording, even when I tried to urge it along manually, and I was never able to get the one-step buttonhole feature to work, despite repeated attempts. Sentinel protection installer 7.6.6. The machine has a cheap appearance, being made out of plastic, and I am wondering if Singer makes a model with all of the new features, but also with their former sturdy construction.
I did like the convenient storage in the base of the machine, the push-button reverse, and the ease of changing needle position, stitch, and pressure foot. However, overall, I have not been satisfied with this machine, and, after working with it for two years, have given it to my mother. I am now seeking to buy a model that will sew through more than two layers, and has a buttonhole feature that works.
