***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
After clocking 10,000 entries under 24 hours, we’re already back to crown a random winner of the SINGER One sewing machine. The lucky person is… Angela (who says she’s a 1 on the sewing skills scale: “I can sew a straight line, but only if someone threads the machine for me first”). Congrats!
I’ve never touched a sewing machine in my life, but I’ve heard Sherry’s passionate muttering from the next room while using hers. Which is why anything labeled “Our easiest to use machine!” sounds compelling. And we’re so (sew?) excited that Singer is helping us give away a SINGER One – a feature-packed sewing machine that retails for nearly $500 – to one lucky reader! Something about an Automatic Needle Threader and OneTouch stitch selection sounds “approachable.” Plus the 24-available stitch patterns makes me believe you could fake your way into some pretty fancy stuff. Oh, and did we mention that Singer will ship this puppy anywhere in the world?
- PRIZE: A SINGER One sewing machine (a $499 value!)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEW ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …where do you rank yourself on the sewing skills continuum? Are you a 1 like me (I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag)? A self-proclaimed 3 like Sherry (who could probably make “a wonky bag”)? Or are you more like a 10 (who could not only sew a bag from scratch, but do so blindfolded)?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide (we always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here).
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

SEW ME!
I’m a bit rusty, but am probably a 6. It’s been a while since I’ve done much, but I grew up sewing a lot of stuff. I can follow a pattern and can create my own patterns for simple things. I wish I had space to keep a machine permanently set up!
Valerie says
I think I’m a 1 or 2, but I can fake a 3 like nobody’s business. 4 the record. I got 5 on it. 6 degrees of separation. 7 lords of leaping, at 8 o clock, just kidding, just wanted to see how far I could keep going with the number thing. I’m a 1, definitely a one. :P)
natalie says
SEW ME!! I’m a 1, but I want SEW BADLY to learn how to sew, hehe
Deborah says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 3 as well.
Kristy says
Sew me!
Amy says
SEW me! I guess I could fumble my way through it, everything right now is hemmed with fabric glue!
Chasta says
SEW ME!
I wouldn’t consider myself a 10, but I can sew up a fine bag!
Cathie says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1. Can only go up from there!
Stephanie says
See me!!
Ha! I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag if my life depended on it! So a 0???
Stephanie says
I mean sew me! Gotta love the autocorrect on my iPhone!
Betsy Prentice says
Sew me! I am a 1 or 2 :)
Courtney K. says
Sew Me!
I am a loud and proud ONE! I feel like if I really focused I could get the hang of it AND apparently now there are buttons on sewing machines-who knew??! The new sewing machine made the the pinterest obsessed side of me extremely excited.
Tara says
Sew Me!
My grandmother was a quilter and she and my mother taught me to sew. I’d like to think I am a 2. I’d like to be a 3 or 4!
Thank you!!
Laura C. says
SEW ME! I’m maybe a three. Probably more of a 2 :)
Lindsey says
Sew Me!!! I actually asked “Santa” for a sewing machine this weekend, although I’m certain that he still hasn’t gone to the store yet to buy it for me. I’m a 1, but aspiring to be a 10!!
Amanda says
SEW ME! I’m probably at 2…1.5…
Helene S says
SEW ME !!!
I’m pretty new to the world of sewing, i got on it since my godson’s birth so i could make all kind of pretty things. It’s going …. slow (on the machine my grandma received as a young bride!), but i keep at it!
So i would say i’m at 2,5, maybe?
Anyway, thanks for the worldwide part of the giveaway!
Shawn says
SEW ME! Non-existent, my wife would love this!
Lowell says
SEW ME!
I’d say maybe a 5 right now. I was around a 9 when I sewed in high school, but that was a while ago… And my sewing machine just died, so this would be awesome to win!
Nikki Miller says
Sew me! I’d say I’m at a 5. I’ve sewn clothes, pillows and even a (fairly basic) quilt. I think a lovely machine like this one would definitely help me improve :)
Amanda McVay says
SEW ME!!!
I would put myself at a 7! i could make a bag from scratch, but not blindfolded or it will turn out wonky.
Katie says
Sew Me!!!! On a scale of 1 to 10 I’m probably a 4 or a 5, not tooo shabby for being self taught…
Edel says
“SEW ME!” I’m quite the beginner on the sewing front and so far it’s all tacking by hand but I’ve a DIY wedding to pull off in 2013 so need to get done singer-on mighty quickly to pull it off! Thanks!
Beth says
Sew me! I love to sew for my kids. I got my first machine…the one I still use… When I was in 7 th grade. I am 32!
Ruth says
Sew me!
I will say a 1 with aspirations to be a 2… Ahem…
Cassie B. says
Sew me!!
I’d say I’m a 1-2. Only used a machine 1-2 times, but want to learn so badly. I’ve been searching for a user-friendly machine. Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
carolyn says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 4. I understand how to do things, and as I learn new skills I catch on quickly. I could sure stand to become a 10 on this guy though, that’s for SURE!!!
Theresa K says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1 but I want to be better!
Erin B says
SEW ME!
I would rank myself at a 0, pathetically. But with the rising popularity of Pinterest, and the little boy I had a year ago, I’m dying to make some ridiculously cute bow ties!
Amy G says
Sew Me!
I am probably a three (four on a good day with an easy pattern), but my sisters are all at least a six and laugh at how low budget my sewing machine is. I need this sewing machine so that I can represent and am not the (sewing) black sheep of the family.
Aimée says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 but am hoping to have inherited my mum’s skill! She sewed all my Barbie clothes – teeny tiny jeans, coats, dresses. All my doll’s clothes. But she also made the most amazing Halloween costumes – she’s awesome! I’d love to have a go at doing the same kind of things for my 2 girls!
Kirstin says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 with potential.
I am so sewing illiterate that I made my son’s first Halloween costume using iron-on hem-tape instead of sewing it (by hand). But if I had foolproof sewing machine I’m pretty sure I could rule the world. Or at least look good while trying.
Melanie Koch says
SEW ME!
I’d like to think I were a 7, but I’m probably just a 4 ;)
Shalen says
Sew me! A 2… My mom taught me how to use my inherited-from-my-gma machine and I am afraid to touch it.
Amy wolff says
SEW ME!
I am a zero right now….
I just signed up for sewing classes from a local lady in the Pittsburgh area… Would love this to help me get started.
Sara says
Sew me!
I am probably a 4 but I’m taking lessons from a friend this weekend. Perfect timing!
emily says
SEW ME!
I’d like to improve this, but right now I’m probably a 3.
Cammy S. says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 6ish right now, having just finished my Home Ec. elective last quarter.
Rebecca says
Sew me!
I am definitely a 1.
Rebecca
Peggy says
“SEW ME!” I am a 1 or 2. I’ve been known to use a stapler to hem a curtain. Would love to learn!
Nicole says
This sewing machine would be “Sew me”! :)
I actually asked for a sewing machine for christmas, so it would be amazing to get this one instead!
I grew up sewing with my mom and even have taken multiple sewing classes so I’d put myself at a 5 between sewing machines and hand sewing.
SaraBaker says
Sew Me!
My mother and grandmother are 5.0 sewers, but I’ve never really sat down and given it a fair shot. I’d give myself a 1.0!
Alisha H says
SEW ME!
I may or may not have a slight phobia of sewing.
Bethany A says
SEW ME!!
I would consider myself a 1 but have wanted to pick up sewing for a couple of years now!
Cheryl says
SEW ME! I’d give myself a solid 3, I did the regular home ec kinda stuff in high school but I’m certainly no expert
Nicole B. says
SEW ME!!
I’m more like a 5. I can make it work but definitely use some guidance!
James says
Sew Me!
I woul love for my wife to win so she can finish all of her half started projects.
Jennifer says
Sew me!
I’m definitely a 0 but desperately want to learn.
Kristen says
SEW ME!!! I took a sewing class four years ago and quickly after sold my machine… but I have the itch again and borrowed my mom’s that seems to be 100 years old. Now if I can just wind that bobbin.
Nicole says
SEW ME!
I would probably rate myself a 3…maybe. I actually inherited my grandmother’s sewing machine because she never used it. I asked her how to use and she said it’d been so long she couldn’t remember. Soooooo basically I taught myself. Lets just say I can sew a straight line and that’s about it! I’ve recently pulled the sewing machine out again, though, and I’m bound and determined to really LEARN and get some sewing done. We’ll see!
deanna says
SEW ME!
As a kid, I took a sewing class in 4H and got a blue ribbon at the fair – but I haven’t used a sewing machine since… I’m probably around a 2-3.
