***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…

Stephanie D. says
SEW ME!
I’m going to say I’m a .5.
Nicole says
Sew me! I can’t sew at all but would love to learn!
mick says
SEW ME, please :) I am probably a solid 5. I inherited my nana’s machine years ago, and it’s workable, but it’s got issues. I have made a skirt and some bags, and they turned out pretty well! I’d love a new machine so that I can continue improving, though; my hand-me-down is on its way out.
Lauren says
I am a 1…but my husband claims to be a 5! The son of a seamstress!
LINNY says
SEW ME! (please)
I’m a 1.5. I made a bag & a few coasters, but haven’t even progressed to curtains. Soon though, soon!
Lindsey Gillespie says
SEW ME! I am a zero because Ive never had a machine to learn!
FirstCorinthiansThirteen says
Sew Me! I have a 6 month old little girl and am desperate to learn how to sew her clothes instead of paying so much money for things she will only wear such a short time!
Michelle W. says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 5 on your scale. I hope to be fabulous someday!
Emily Hansen says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 6. Not great. But I can do it. Thanks for the fun opportunity!
Leslie says
Sew Me! I might be a 4….i use a lot of trial and error, but can usually do OK on simple projects. A nice machine lke this one would really help! :-)
Tanya says
SEW ME!
I have pretty much zero sewing skill, but would love to learn! I’d say I’m a 0 on the sewing scale.
[email protected] says
Sew me!
I rank a 1. But my husband ranks a 7. The only time i sewed was when i made my daughters crib blanket, and mymother had to help me along the way. However my husband hems his own shirts, so that automatically gets a 7!
Lacey D. says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 for sure.
Cindy says
SEW ME11 I am around an 8 but my DIL is a zero and wants to learn and this machine would be perfect for her! Please – she really wants to learn to sew. (and she loves you guys)
Melissa Herman says
SEW ME!!! I think I’m an 8…I learned at a very early age and love it!!
Erin says
SEW ME! I’m a 6 or a 7. But this machine is WAY swankier than mine.
Allison W. says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 when it comes to sewing, but thanks to Mimigstyle, I want to learn.
laura says
Sew me! I’m a 4 for home decor DIY ( made me some slipcovers with welting), but I can’t follow a pattern or make clothes, although with this machine I migtht give it a try!
Elizabeth says
SEW ME!! I’m definitely a 1, but would love to get better. Have been thinking about getting one for a while!
Christen says
SEW ME! Very low, but my husband wants to learn :)
Sabrina says
SEW ME!
Ryan says
SEW ME!
I’m in the 4 range — good enough to tackle fun projects, but not so good that they don’t look very homemade in the end.
Kerri says
SEW ME! I’m a solid 2 :)
Lindsay says
Sew me! Sadly a zero but would love to whip out som e curtains and pillows on this guy!
liu says
SEW ME! I’m a 3 like Sherry but I love arts and crafts and sewing has been something on the back of my mind for me to learn.
Jess says
SEW ME
I’m about a 4. I remember a fair amount from middle school Home Ec and my mother is pretty helpful.
lucy says
SEW ME! I think I probably rank somewhere between a 3 and 4 depending on what I’m sewing and and what I’m ranking on the patience scale, ha!
MichelleP says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3 or 4…I can follow a good tutorial, or figure out how to make some basic things if they mainly involve sewing in straight lines!
Jess Mulloy says
SEW ME!!! I used to sew in high school, but I haven’t really used my machine in at least 3 years… I might be a 2-3.
Danette S says
SEW ME! I am a 3 trying to work toward a 4. So far straight lines and a little embellishment are as far as I’ve gotten.
Lindsey says
SEW ME!
Level 1, I can sew a button on a sleeve and that’s about it!
Caitlin says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 7. I’ve made a few quilts and pillow covers without any issues. [knock on wood!] I’m working abroad for the next 2 years and had to leave my machine in the States so I would LOVE this!
Tarcia says
SEW ME!
I’m going to give myself a 5. I’ve sewn halloween costumes for my daughters and they’ve come out pretty good (as long as you don’t look too closely).
Lacey says
SEW ME! I’m a 0 and really want to work my way up to a 10!
kelsey says
SEW ME! I’m maybe like a 6? I feel like that might be the upper limit for me until I become more comfortable with free motion quilting and start being able to draft my own non-ultra-simple patterns.
Suzie says
Sew me! Maybe a 3 with some help!
kat says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 3-4, though I’d be higher if I were more careful/patient. And if I didn’t have a brother, which causes lots of tension issues :(
Kitty says
SEW ME!
I’d say I was a 6, but only one the condition that I unpick everything at least once before it’s all done.
Cassandra says
SEW ME! I am a definite beginner. I sewed my first pair of pajama pants about a month ago…I would like to have my own machine to get a little more proficient as my parents (who have the machine I used) live a few hours away. Good luck to everyone!
Kendrick says
Sew Me! I don’t have any skills but have 500 projects that I would love to try!
Kelsey says
SEW ME! Probably maybe 2. My mom is trying to teach me to sew ( she is an excellent seamstress!) This machine would be awesome for me to learn on! Keep up the good work you two!
kat says
er, to clarify – brother sewing machine with thread tension issues, not a brother causing tension haha
Megan says
Sew me! And definitely a 1, but with aspirations!
Marie Gagne says
SEW ME!
I would like a new sewing machine : so many projects I could make reality.
Marie
Kelli says
SEW ME! I’m probably around a 5. I can do a straight line :)
Ashley says
Sew me! I’m about a -1, but I have big dreams =)
Sheena says
Sew me! I have been sewing a lot this year (practicing anyway) so (sew) a six?? My old machine has a short in the pedal and burns my footafter sewing a while. I know, not exactly safe… But if I don’t win, Santa might get me a new one!
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I am a 3 on a good day….most days I am probably a 2!
Nora says
Sew Me!
I’m a solid five although I used to be able to sew better when I was ten so that’s embarasding…
