***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…

Amanda C says
SEW ME! Please!
I’ve been pricing and researching machines for the past two years and just haven’t taken the plunge yet! I’m not that good, but with a decent machine to practice on, I could get good!
Rosemary C. says
SEW ME! I am probably a 4 or 5. I do really well with baby blankets or bibs. Curtains or pillows-things that mostly require straight lines :)
Kate says
SEW ME!
Ooh, a definite 2. I can just about sew a straight line!
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 4. I was able to sew some felt burger toppings pretty easily! I am wary any “advanced” sewing projects, though.
Travis T. says
SEW ME! I am a professional amateur.
Lindsey says
Sew me!!
Oh dear. I do need this. I have outgrown my first sewing machine. I would say I’m about a 6-7 on the sewing scale. I’m well past beginner, but not quite an expert.
Liliana says
SEW ME!!! I’m a beginner at sewing but I just recently got interested in it. Love this giveaway!
Windylou says
SEW ME! I’d put myself at around a 6 or so. My stepdaughter is interested and this would be an AWESOME gift for her! She’s at a 0-1, so all the automatic features would totally help her.
Whitney says
SEW ME! I’m a 2, but am hoping to practice more. This would be fabulous help! :-)
Crystal says
I’m a 1, but my Mom is probably a 7 and could really use a new machine!
Lisa K. says
SEW ME!
Sew me the machine! Considering I don’t own a machine (it’s on my Christmas list) I’d rank myself below a one with a machine but a five with a needle and thread!
Gabriella @ Our Life In Action says
SEW ME! I would definately say a 3 – I am able to sew two pieces of material together whether they morph into anything useful is something totally different ;-)
mariana says
SEW ME!
I’m around a 4. I’m still getting comfortable with a sewing machine and different stitches but I feel I could tackle a tutorial for something smallish? haha
Ellen says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 3 also. I took some classes when I was little and could make pillows, tote bags, and even made an outfit for myself. But I haven’t done it in a while so I’m definately rusty.
Siri from Norway says
SEW ME!
I’m pushing 4 and need something like this beauty to help me! It’s limited what I can do on my mother’s first sewing machine..
Elisa says
Sew me!
I’d say a solid 4. Does that mean I’m still sewing straight lines? But they’re GOOD straight lines!
Anywho, my sewing machine broke just before our little was born a few months ago. Sadness!
Alleene Smith says
SEW ME! I used to sew professionally, and was probably a 9 or 10 back then, but now that I sew only occasionally, my skill level has slipped to a 6 or 7, which is fine. I’m not anal about it anymore.
Angie says
sew me! I’m probably a 6. I’ve been sewing since I was a child, and had a sewing mother and grandmother. My mom made all the dresses for my wedding!
Bethany says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m maybe a 4 or 5 – I can do basic stuff, but if you try and get me to follow a pattern, I’ll get lost!
Erynn says
SEW ME!
I’m a 0 but my husband is at least a 7. He’s a whiz at tailoring all his own clothes and making pretty bags for me.
Katrina says
SEW ME!
i’d say a 5, i can make a bag that is functional, but not anything special.
man i would love a sewing machine!!
Katy S says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a 3 possibly 4.
Bethany says
SEW ME!
I love sewing, although I often use methods that are neither precise nor conventional…sometimes to my mom’s chagrin. Whatever works!
Jessica says
“SEW ME!”
I am probably a 3 or 4, but I’ve only tried my hand at curtains.
Kate M says
SEW ME!
I was a self-proclaimed sewing whiz in high school home ec, but haven’t touched a sewing machine since. Now, 17 years later and two kids at home, I’ve started to feel the itch to get sewing again.
Christopher says
Sew me!
Totally a 0. But something like this would be a great way to want to learn!
Laura says
SEW ME!
I’m an 8, but my current machine is a 5 – and older than me!
Please Please Please pick me!!
Cheryl says
SEW ME!
Laura says
Sew me! I am a 0, but everyone has to start somewhere, right?
Valerie says
SEW ME! I’ve never touched a sewing machine, but am ready to tackle it and make some curtains!
Bethanie says
SEW ME! I would be a 1 on that scale. But with my Grandmas help I think i could learn!
Shaye C. says
SEW ME!
I made a backpack in 7th grade. It was awesome!
Melissa says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m a 2… not too savvy of a sewer…
Theresa says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a solid 3.
Karly says
SEW ME!!
I am about a 6, I can sew a straight line, but also just dangerous enough to make most people pull their hair out. :)
Jeff says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3-4 on a 10 scale. Unfortunately in our household, that makes me much better than my better half. We could use this to “practice” up and teach each other.
Jen says
SEW ME!
I’m a solid 1 on the sewing scale. But I’m looking to learn!
Christine says
SEW ME! I am probably about a 6.
Amy says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 for sure! Hemming tape has become my friend :/
Kati says
SEW ME!!! I would say I’m a 2…I can sew a button back on…that’s about it.
Chelle says
SEW ME! I’d say I’m in the 4ish category on a good day.
Shelly Losee says
II need this! I’m totally a one, but I dream of being a 10! I kinda crafty and have been planning to buy a sewing machine to repurpose old clothes.
Ashley says
SEW ME!
I am maybe a 1. My experience consists of watching my mom work her magic on an old Singer.
Andrea says
“Sew Me!” I’m severely out of practice, so probably in the 3-4 range.
Liz says
Sew Me!
I’m around a 4 I think (thanks to a few lessons) and would love this machine to sew a few items for our first baby due May 2013!
Michele says
Sew Me! I last used a sewing machine in middle school to make scrunchies (it was the 80s) and would love a second shot to make something a bit more, um, sophisticated. :)
Caroline says
SEW ME! I am a 1 on the sewing scale, as in I’ve never used a sewing machine in my life, but would love to take a course and do some crafts for my wedding.
Lisa says
SEW ME! I am a 1, but I would like to be higher on the sewing scale :).
Lisa K. says
SEW ME!
Sew me the machine! Considering I don’t own a machine (it’s on my Christmas list) I’d rank myself below a one with a machine but a five with a needle and thread!
Claire says
SEW ME!
I’m a one but I have projects for days if I ever get my hands on a sewing machine!
