This little machine comes packed with great features and accessories. The accessories alone are worth over a hundred dollars if purchased separately. At 15 pounds it's quite a bit lighter than other electronic machines, which makes it convenient for putting away and taking out, or taking to your nearest sewing circle meet.

alert Dislikes

There aren't a lot of reviews of the Singer 6180 Brilliance model up yet on the internet. Some reviews are only 1 star, so we wonder if there is the occasional lemon. One reviewer mentioned that it is extremely important to sit with the threading instructions, as the threading is slightly different from the Singer machines you might be used to.
