***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 want to think I am least a 3 but my hopes are set high.
Rashi says
SEW ME!
Unfortunately a 1 #hangsherheadinshame
Being born in a family with sewing skills of 10 (& above! for my granny).. there’s tremendous pressure to atleast learn how to operate a sewing machine..
Cammie says
Sew me! I’m a one…hopefully it changes
Chris V says
SEW ME! I have 0 sewing skills but I have always wanted to learn :)
Thank you for doing the giveaway.
L says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 2. I’ve made a couple of pillows (although not in 7 years), and can fix a hem or a button, but past that and I’m lost.
Kim says
SEW ME! I guess I’m a 2…but I’d be a 3 or 4 in no time if I had a machine!
Cindy says
SEW ME! A total one but can’t wait to learn!
Lacey says
SEW ME!
Gonna have to rank around the 2-3 area. I know how to pull thread through various things (fabric, fingers, etc), but that’s about it. Someday I aspire to making pillows and curtains, but alas, I’m more likely to treat needles with the same wary caution I treat all sharp objects that invariably find their way to my skin. XD
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’d give myself a 7, solid 7 :)
Connie Greer says
SEW ME
I was once a 6/7 …. a little rusty, but hope to resurrect my skill with a new machine :)
Christy says
SEW ME!!!
I used to be around a 5 – but then my machine broke, I couldn’t afford to have it repaired and that was that.
Shannon says
SEW ME!
I’m definitely a 0-1… its only up from here!
Maggie says
SEW ME
Don’t sue me :)
I’m a pretty much self taught sewer. Lots of errors along the way, but I’m improving!
Kristen Sutton says
Sew me!!! I’m a 2-I can hand sew if needed, but I so want to be a 7 or above…
colleen says
SEW ME! i’m an intermediate sewer. i always borrow my mom’s machine. it would be great to have one of my own!
Deb says
sew me please :) We are a 1 family but very interested in learning!
Gina says
SEW ME!
I am probably around a 3. I can make repairs but haven’t created anything on my own yet.
Jodi says
SEW ME!!!
I learned to sew in 4-H and am probably a 6 or 7. I can follow a pattern perfectly, alter things, and design simple things, and can sew pretty much any fabric. I also quilt. I’m looking to improve my skills, so a new machine would be awesome!
Jenn Hannifan says
SEW ME!
I’d say I rank right around a 2. I may be giving myself too much credit. Owning this baby would change that, though!
Talina says
SEW ME! I love to sew – I’m not great at it, but I try!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Jennifer Harrup says
SEW ME! I am probably a four…I just made my first pocket pillowcase and I could do curtains. I am going to attempt stockings this year too. I was the same as Sherry in the beginning lots of string balls and lots of cursing…but I can whip pillows out now in about 15 minutes. I tried to buy a Project Runway pattern once and make a little jacket once though and it was a big time disaster…no making my own clothes for me.
Stephanie says
SEW ME! SEW ME!
I’d give myself a 7, solid 7 :)
Melissa says
SEW ME!!!
I would say I’m a 6 in on the sewing skills scale. In a family of quilters, I have been casually sewing since I was a young kid. I have twice unknowingly salvaged old sewing machines/furniture: one desk in good condition from Goodwill and one side table from the side of the road on garbage day, both have hidden sewing machines under the table top. I refinished the desk and use it to store my craft supplies and have plans to clean up the sewing machines and use them one day.
Susan says
Sew me! I would say I’m a 5 despite many attempted projects over the years- Barbie clothes at age 8, duvet and curtains from sheets in college and roman shades in my 30s. Nothing ever comes out exactly as I envision it and my straight stitch isn’t so straight. I’ll blame it on the equipment!
Heather says
SEW ME!
I’m a 4 or so. I can sew fine. Cutting out patterns, not so much.
Maggie says
SEW ME
I’m with Sherry….I’m 3
Leyna says
Sew me! I’m about a 3, too, and I have seeeeeeew many ideas I’d love to get started on!
Stephanie says
SEW ME! I’m definitely in the 1 category but would love to up that number, I have so many projects I want to try!
Sue says
Sew ME! I made some pretty nice chevron throw pillow covers this summer, but my machine is 25 years old and I just can’t get the tension right… I would rate myself a 2.5!!
Heather says
Sew me!! I’m definitely a 1 or 2 at the moment, but I think with some practice I could get to a 5 or so…
Meghan says
SEW ME! – Total newbie.
Kate in New Zealand says
SEW ME!
I have made ball dresses and curtains and would love to brush up on my sewing!
Hooray for the international giveaway!
Maggie says
SEW ME
I’m figuring it out as I go along!! I’m a 3 too!
Jenny says
SEW ME! I can sew pretty well as long as it’s straight stitching and doesn’t have to be precise!!
Shipra says
SEW ME!
4 is the score I will give myself. Sewing always brings back childhood memories of watching my mom sew and ‘trying’ to help her – don’t think she always appreciated my help though considering that I was probably a -50 then! Would love to take my skills up to her level.
yoboseiyo says
Sew Me!
my sewing skills are probably a gifted 6.
i can sew things, and simple things without patterns. but sleeves on coats/shirts/dresses give me fits.
my mom (who i would give the machine to) is DEFINITELY a 10, though. she’s an upholsterer and drapery Fabricator. she actually already owns a singer (vintage), but has been lusting over the black version of this machine because she wants to start an ecclesiastical vestment business (making vestments for priests and the like).
more info than needed, but what the hey. :D
Alexandra says
Sew Me!! This would be amazing – I am about a 2 but would love to learn more and this would sure do the trick.
Aimee says
SEW ME!
I’m a good 7.
Mauricio says
Sew me!! Definitely a zero, just commented for a chance to win this for my wife!
Catherine Martel says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 on the accomplished seamstress scale, help in the form of the easiest machine to use would be well appreciated!
Surani says
SEW ME!
I would be around a 5, can do simple stuff, even stiched a dress for myself years ago on my mom’s sewing machine. Planning to get a new sewing machine, so I can try my hand at making something pretty for my six year old little princess now.
Tim says
SEW ME
Is there a 0 on this list? That’s me!
Heather says
SEW ME! I’m a 3 for sure!
Lissa Lo says
SEW ME! Definitely 0. No sewing machine ever to try.
Carolyn says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5; little experience but good spatial sense!
CC says
SEW ME!
I am a solid 6, maybe 7. I’ve freehanded patterns to make clothes that I’m not embarrassed to wear in public, but I can only be relied upon to finish about 80% of any given project. Hems are for suckers!
Amanda P. says
Sew Me! Would love this! I inherited my grandmother’s Singer, but apparently none of her sewing talent. So, i guess that puts me at a 1. Still, i love to sit and sew, or, err at least try to!
Hailey says
“SEW ME!”
I’m a ONE – big time, but if I win this thing I promise to learn how to use it so I can learn to reupholstery furniture!
christy says
SEW ME!
So, I’m probably more like Sherry. I would say around a 3. I can sew basic things, especially if there are straight lines and no zippers involved. But, my goals is to get better. I’ve started making quilts. So much fun!
Shani says
SEW ME! I am a 5 with 10 dreams.
