***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 am definetly a 1 – newbie here but want to learn to be better! My mom and mother and law are great seamstresses so I need to have them teach me quick!
Carolynn F says
SEW ME! I’d rank myself a 5. I can sew curtains…as long as they only involve straight lines. Once I even sewed two pillow case with zippers. It took hours and I had to follow along with a youtube video but i did it and display them proudly.
Jenn Hannaford says
SEW ME!
I would say I am a 3…but with this machine could learn to be maybe a 6!
Kim G says
6ish…
Abigail T says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 4 on that particular continuum. Been wanting to get my own sewing machine for years so I can try out some of the nifty projects I’m always bookmarking but not making. Perhaps then with more practice I shall progress along the continuum toward sewing excellence.
Amy says
SEW ME!
Awesome giveaway. I am a solid 3 – wonky bags are my specialty, but I would very much like to be a 7. This machine would help out with that!
Meg Smith says
Sew ME!
Beth says
Sew me!
I am a 1. Last time I used my sewing machine I broke it :-(
Annie says
SEW ME!
I’m an 8! I’ve been sewing since I was 10, I was fortunate to have a very crafty family!
Nicholas says
Sew Me! Definitely a one!
Moa says
SEW ME!
Lina says
SEW ME!
Just learning, so probably about a 2 or 3 :)
Jenn M says
Sew Me! I would put myself about a 4. I not only can make a “wonky” bag, but I can also make “wonky” curtains! A true skill!
Allison P says
SEW ME! I am definitely a 1, I haven’t used a sewing machine since middle school.
Stacey says
SEW ME…a big fat number 1, ’cause that’s where I rank I’m terms of my skillz. I’m jonesing to improve, though, and this sweet machine would help me to do just that!
Cindy says
Sew me!
I am a 3.75. Not quite a four, a little more than a mere three…needing a machine to improve on!
Lisa says
SEW ME! And for sure a 1!! But I really want to learn!
Nicki says
SEW ME! I am absolutely a 1 on that scale! I have no idea how to sew but would LOVE to learn!!
Jessica says
SEW ME!
I’m like a -1!!! I get all sweaty just seeing those things!! But I want to learn someday. Maybe if I just sit in the same room with it we can work out our differences!
Gary says
Truthfully, I am a zero, but I can be taught.
Betsy says
SEW ME!! I’m maybe a 6 and still have lots to learn. Want to teach my 11 year old daughter to sew, too!
Kristy H. says
Sew me!
I’m a solid 5, can follow patterns but can’t make up my own… nothing blindfolded either!
Well, maybe I WAS a 5 before my old hand-me-down machine broke and now I’m out of practice!
Amy says
SEW ME! And I’m definitely a 1, but would love to make my way to a 5 some day :)
Amanda reddish says
Sew me! I am probably a 4 at sewing. I am however making a quilt for my hubs. Two years in the making…maybe it will be done by our ten year.
DJ says
SEW ME!
I am probably a negative number on the sewing scale, but how else could I get better than with a brand-spankin’ new sewing machine?!
Emily says
SEW ME!
I have never sewn anything in my life (so definitely a 1) but have many books to learn. Just need a machine! ;)
Sarah says
Sew Me! I’m about a 5. I enjoy sewing, but could really learn a lot more! And a new machine would be wonderful!
Mandy says
Sew Me!
I’m probably a 3 or 4. I can hem up my pants!
Kate says
SEW ME!
I’d put myself at probably about a 6. I have solid basics, but I’m out of practice. A new machine would help… I have so many projects lined up!
KDWilkins says
SEW ME!!!
I’m about a 5 on the scale. Love to quilt- especially memory quilts.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
Grace says
SEW ME !! Im probably a 4-5. I still screw up sometimes!
Melanie says
SEW ME!
Are negative numbers allowed? I am still marvelling over the existence of hem tape, but this machine sounds like it could make a seamstress out of even me!
Erica Burnett says
SEW ME! I’d say that I am a 2.5-3 :)
Michelle says
SEW ME!!!
3 for me (nice little rhyme). I can sew a pretty sweet wonky bag on a wonky sewing machine. Maybe a jazzy machine upgrade would but me up to a…..wait for it….3.5 :)
Tara says
SEW ME!
I’m (optimistically) a 3. I made a couple of half-decent stockings and a comforter several years ago, but nothing since. I’ve been thinking of taking it up again lately and was even going to ask for a used sewing machine for my birthday in January–this would be even better though!!
Mackenzie says
SEW ME!
A 1 for sure.
RA says
SEW ME!! I’m a 7-8. I started hand sewing when I was 5. My daughter-in-law is a .5-1. This is for her.
Tiffany says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m probably a 4 or 5. For years I enjoyed making my four girls matching dresses for every holiday. They are mostly adults now, so I now sew for other little girls!
gisselle Ramos says
SEW MEEEEEE!!!!! PLZ!!!!
I can’t sew at all but have been wanting to sew my own throw pillows and curtains!!!
Emily says
SEW ME!! I’m prob around a 2, but would love to learn!
Megan says
SEW ME! I am a self-taught 4, aspiring to be higher :)
Tiffany says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a 7, I love sewing but my machine is ancient :(
Kat says
Sew me! Definitely a 3, I could make a wonky bag too. And I’ve made a wonky Halloween costume or two :)
christine says
Sew Me!
Sadly, I’m a 1 or 2 at best!
Amy Wilson says
Sew me! I am probably a 2 or 3, even though I am from a long line of 10’s! I have only made curtains, pillows, and repairs on clothes so far, but I have big dreams!
Jess says
SEW ME!!!!
I want to learn but very nervous about the whole process. So I would be a zero or 1. I know people can make things with those machines but not sure if I’ll be one of those people :)
Cynthia F. says
Sew Me! I am a sewing machine novice but would love to hone my quilting skills.
Jenny says
SEW ME! I am at a level 1 or below in sewing skills but have always wanted to learn! If I win, my daughter will probably figure out how to sew and teach me!!
Emma G. says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 2…maybe a 3. I need to get better though so I can sew the 18th century clothing that I use for interpretation!!
Erin says
Sew Me!! I’d probably rank myself a 4ish. :)
