***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…

Victoria says
SEW ME!
I’d say I rank around a 6. I am self taught and have some learning to do.
Trish Milburn says
SEW ME!! Used to be a 10, but haven’t sewn in years because I no longer have a machine; hopefully that may change soon!!!
Kate says
SEW ME!!!
A big, fat 0! Never even been near a sewing machine but dying to learn how to use one.
Ehryn says
SEW ME!
1… Definitely a 1. Or less. But I could learn ;)
Donna says
SEW ME!!
Maybe a 5 – when my kids were little… I made their Halloween costumes! And they wore them all the time – not just on Halloween … One even won first place! It was Aladdin!
Jenna says
SEW ME…I’m probably a 4, but with this machine on my Christmas list I’m hoping to be a 10 soon!!!
Kiren says
Sew me! I am a -0 in reality, but I am 10+ in my heart!
Heather C says
SEW ME!!!!
I’d say I’m about a 6, but it’s hard to practice when my Mom (a definite 10) keeps enabling me by doing all the hard stuff for me…
Jen says
SEW ME!
I’m pretty sure that I’m around a 7. My mom and my grandmother were excellent seamstresses, and they taught me at a young age. That said, they’ve both since passed, and I am a little rusty. I’d LOVE a new machine to inspire me to get back on the sewing path!
Sam says
SEW ME!! I would say I’m an 8. I can sew fairly complicated patterns now, and even figure out how to adapt them on my own, but I’m sewing with a really basic machine and could use a nice upgrade!
Christina says
SEW ME!
Maybe a 1.5? I made a Christmas stocking last year, but it took several hours of trying to thread the machine and one broken needle.
Meg @ halfhippie says
SEW ME!!!
I’m intermediate :)
Daffodil says
SEW ME! I am probably a 2, and that’s only if I can reach far enough back in the memory to recall anything from seventh grade home ec. But I know how to read, and I figure that plus some time and a sewing machine and its owners manual should at least bump me up to a solid 3 or 4.
Chris says
Sew Me!
I don’t want to brag, but I am an 8-ish. I love to sew and I sew every single day! This baby would look loverly in my sewing room!!!
KatieK says
SEW ME! I would say a 2 or 3 maybe? I can do a little repair using a needle and thread and I’ve been known to make curtains and such (not great) with a sewing machine until my machine revolted and I gave it away.
Dale says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a solid 2.
Grace says
SEW ME!! I’m probably about a 4, given your brief scale description… I can sew a straight stitch – fabulous for making pillow cases! I’m about to try sewing a zipper actually for the first time…can’t be too hard, right?
Alison B says
Sew me! Definitely a 1…
Rachael says
“SEW ME!” I’m a 1, but I would LOVE to learn… lessons with Mom start this Christmas break!
Amber says
See me! I’m a 0. I haven’t sewed since middle school.
Cassie says
SEW ME!!! I am a 2.3. Last Christmas I touched a sewing machine for the firs time in 10 years :S I sewed my dad an ipad case out of an old leather bombers jacket, a sweater, and a belt. Needle less ;) to say there were injuries aquired during this project, but I finished it
maryam says
SEW ME!
I have no skills aside from a few attempts at sewing in home and careers class way back when. But my 5 year old daughter, for some reason, keeps coming with sewing projects she wants me to do with her. She’s a very determined little lady so I guess I really will have to learn now.
Jenna says
Sew me!
I used to be a 1 but I made it my goal for 2012 to finally learn to sew so I might be a 5 now. It’s quickly become my favorite hobby and I would Love to have this machine!
Tiffany says
SEW ME! I am so a 1 but want to desparately learn to sew…so hope I win!!
Betsy says
sew me!
i’ve never sewed anything, but would love to learn! (i don’t even know the past tense of sew :/ )
Cheryl says
SEW ME! At one point, I might have been a 3 but I’m pretty rusty.
Jenn says
SEW ME!!!
I would rank my sewing skills at a 1, however this very sewing machine is on my Christmas list and my new years resolution is to start sewing lessons.
Emily says
Sew Me! I’m a 1 with patterns, but probably a 5 without. My current machine (a Singer) is so basic, with only two types of stitches (straight and zig-zag). My little girls (both currently 10) take a homeschool sewing class and sew quite a bit. Unlike the other children in the class, they have to share a machine. In fact, all three of us share this one machine at home, which is in high demand. Our little machine could really use a friend, especially one that can do so many other stitches!
Rachael says
Sew me! I’m a beginner, but very antsy to learn!
Jess says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1. I have never even been close enough to a sewing machine to have a sad story, but is love to learn. Please help!!!
Leah says
Sew me! Been wanting one! Dreaming of crafts!
Tiffany Opp says
SEW ME!!!
I’d give myself a solid 5. I can sew anything with straight lines (pillows, curtains, etc.) and I have made a few things from patterns (pajama pants, skirts) but I am scared of zippers. I have yet to attempt to sew a zipper into anything. Why bother when elastic works? hehe
Allison says
Sew Me! I’m probably about a 2…could sew a stich or two if forced, but it wouldn’t look very pretty! But I really want to make my own quilts and pillows and this machine looks awesome!
Amber says
I’m like a 0 so SEW ME!
Jill says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1. I have 3 young ones (my 2 oldest are 7 and 8 year old girls who really want to learn) and I want so very much to learn so I can TEACH them!!!
Renee L says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2 but I want to improve!
Paula S. says
Sew Me! I am 1. I can thread a needle to put a button back on. :)
Carol in Bama says
“SEW ME!”
Used to be a 9.5 or 10 but I haven’t sewn much in years so probably a 7 now. I could give this machine to my niece who is wanting to learn to sew. She would love it!
erin says
Sew Me! I want to make cute toddler boy clothes~
Eric says
SEW ME
My sewing skills are at a 1 but I would love to win this for my wife
Kelly says
SEW ME! I rank at the bottom. The very bottom. My husband and my 7 year-old daughter both have me beat! This would be such an awesome prize to win!

I used to sew for my daughter when she was little but now it,s mainly stuff for the house. I would love a new machine to replace the one I bought with wedding gift money 36 years ago!

saritza rivera says

Meghann says
Sew Me! I am a 3 but trying to get better!

Well… since my mom made my sister and me take sewing classes every summer as a child, I’d say I’m an 8… and would L.O.V.E a new sewing machine!
Laura Roussy says
