***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…

lena satterlee says
SEW ME! I would be a 1. In honor of the one time i tried to thread a needle.
Jennifer says
SEW ME!
I think I’m about a 3? I once sewed myself a pillow in the shape of a J? And hey, I know how to hem my own pants!
Denae says
SEW ME!! I am probably a 3… I can make things wonky, but not follow patterns.
Jamie says
SEW ME!
I would normally call myself a 3 at sewing, but if Sherry calls herself a 3 then I’m downgrading myself to a 2. :)
Molly says
SEW ME!! I would say I am a 3/4 because I can make a pillow case but not much more!! :)
angela says
SEW ME!
Definitely a 1. But want to be a 10!!

Sew me! I am about a 5, not really good but not bad either. I would love a new machine!
Matt says
SEW ME!
I`m definitely a 1, but I`d love to win this for my wife, who is probably somewhere around a 3 (but thinks she`s a 5! Don`t tell her I said that!)
Jessica says
SEW ME! As much as I hate to admit it, I’d probably rank myself a 2-3. I know the basics and have made some pretty cool things, but making anything without a pattern or step by step directions give me hives. If I win, I’ll definitely put it to practice to get past that though!
nick says
a zero. for sure!
angie says
maybe a 1. just maybe!
Lora M says
Sew me! I am a quilter and am using an old machine. I am probably a 6 but could become a 10 with this beauty.

Elsie says
Sew me! 2=7th grade home ec level.

SEW ME!

SEW ME!
So I can put an end to swearing at my machine :) I’m a 3… a 4 on a good straight-line quilt day with hopes of becoming a solid 7 one day!
Faith Morrell says
SEW ME! I haven’t sewed anything in over five years. I would love to win this and make some new accessories for my home. I am probably a 4.

Sew me!
Maybe a 3 or sew :)
Gail says
“SEW ME!”
I love to sew but have not bee able to in years… I have a 35 year old Kenmore machine., that just does not work well anymore.
I used to sew a lot and can sew almost anything.. So I’ saw I am a 9 or 10!
Alyssa DAgostino says
SEW ME!
I am a beginner!! My mother-in-law and I actually sat down this weekend and she taught me the basics as she helped hem my pants (at 5’2” she does all my pants to save me money). This would be great to have for both of us to have something else to bond over!
Care says
SEW ME!!
To quote SNL….I am a 0.00! But I’d love to learn!
Maria Flores says
Sew Me!
I’m a 1 but I feel in my heart I have the potential to be at least a 3 if I had this machine.
John South says
SEW ME! I have myriad projects that are sitting around my house waiting for me to attack them and I’ve been wanting a sewing machine for a while now. I’m around a 4 and look forward to ramping up that rating with this fine machine. I hunt, I fish, I camp, and… I sew!
Vanessa L says
Sew me! I’m definitely a 1 but I really want to learn, so this would be awesome
jc says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5 with lots of learning to go. Having a new machine would surely be a blast!
Jessica says
SEW ME! I’m probably about a 2 but hoping to improve.

SEW ME!
Considering I work in a costume shop I hope that I am at least an 8 but I know there is still a lot I don’t know.
Rumi says
SEW ME! At a 1, but want to improve!
Shanna says
SEW ME!
I’d give it a solid 5. I can make various bits but no awesome clothes :C

SEW ME! I’m a 1 (or maybe a 0) but I’m determined to learn!
Michele says
SEW ME!!
I rank at 1 and a half. :-( This would help!
Brook says
SEW ME!!
Maybe a 2-3…I would like to learn more and make more sewing projects, but I need my own machine :)
Julie H. says
SEW ME!
i’m a 2 on the sewing scale. But if I had a new Singer machine I could become
a 5.
Colleen says
SEW ME!
I have absolutely no skills but with that puppy, I’d learn!
Kaydee says
SEW ME!
I am probably a 4.25 since I can sew a bag and an easy skirt or curtains, etc. nothing too complicated though.
Jennifer says
Sew Me!
My sewing skills all come from home economics and 18 years as a girl guide, so probably a 2/10 :). I try though. I made my own prom dress, sewing up the hem all the way there in the limo.
Dwayne says
SEW ME!!
I would say I’m a 1, but would like to win this machine for my wonderful wife.
Kristen M says
Sew Me!
I’m a solid 1, but more than willing to learn! I would also like to see curtains in my house in the next millenium.
Sherri Herring says
SEW ME! I would definitely be a number 1 on that scale. My daughter and I would love to learn how to sew.
yoonjin says
SEW ME!
i’m a 2. know how to sew for crafts that don’t require much precision!
Patty says
SEW ME! I’m probably a seven. But a very rusty one. It would be fun to find out! Especially since my 17 year old daughter wants me to teach her to sew…
BeckyB says
SEW ME! Maybe a 7?
Rachel W says
SEW ME! This machine would be sew nice to have. I think this machine would help bump me up from a 7 to???
Linda says
SEW ME! My sewing skills are a 6.
Laura says
SEW ME!
I would probably rate myself a 5. Growing up my grandmother would sew with me a lot and taught me how to use patterns and had an amazing sewing room. I’m definitely out of practice now though as I don’t own a machine and only hand sew!
Amanda says
SEW ME! 3..but wanna be a 10 like my mom! “Sew” the potential is there! :-)
