This is a low score and you can compare it to the score of other sewing machines on our site in our overall sewing machine ratings table. These, when averaged, generate a score of 63 out of a possible 100. Why is this the case, especially for such a tried and trusted name?

At least this has been our experience to date. Having looked at a large number of machines from Janome, Brother, Singer and Juki we feel we would be remiss if we didn't highlight that consumer ratings for Singer units are - on average - lower than for the other brands. Some owners do like this machine but there are a sufficient number of folks highlighting issues to make one wary. Consumer ratings are, on average, rather poor and there are quite a few complaints regarding needle breakage, jamming, thread birdnesting, tension difficulties, etc.
63.0 The Singer Brilliance (model 6199) is one of the least popular sewing machines we have investigated.
