***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…

Jackie Seybert says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3.5 on the sew scale. I can make simple items… envelope pillows, table runners and infinity scarves =)
Sabrina says
SEW ME!
Can I be a negative number?
Tricia says
Sew me! I am a 3 but want to be a 8. ( I know I will never be a 10…won’t live that long!
Katie says
SEW ME! My skills are not exactly the best, but I do a great job at covering up my errors. That has to make me at least a 4, right?
Deanne says
SEW ME!
I’m entering for my daughter down here in Australia who has just moved into their first home with her husband & 8 month baby boy-she is down around a 1 on the sewing scale! I can sew ( 7ish) and she wants me to teach her how…..problem is she lives 4 hours away form us-so she could “play” on her own machine.
Kisses for the Bean and ear rubs for Burger!
Kara Ayers says
SEW ME! I believe I’d be around a 1…I can sew a semi straight line but the threading the needle and setting up the machine gets me every time! This machine looks amazing for that:)
Kim W. says
SEW ME! I am probably a 3 … I have sewn before (home ec in Jr. high counts too, right?), but definitely need to improve!
Abbie says
SEW ME!! I’m probably a 4 or 5. It’s been many many years since I’ve sewn much, but the last time I borrowed a machine to do a few simple things, I was able to pick it back up again pretty quickly! I’ve been wanting to invest in a machine so (sew?!) I hope I win!
Virginia Moreira says
“SEW ME!” I´m a ZERO! Nada! Wanna be 10 one day!
Jane @ the borrowed abode says
SEW ME! I’m about a 7-8, I guess. I have a handmade shop but it’s taken me years to get my skills to the point where I feel comfortable selling my work!
Speaking of “sew me” – I stitched over my finger too many times before realizing that multiple shots of espresso and sewing do NOT mix.
This machine would be really helpful as a second machine for whenever my other one is on the fritz, and for teaching my friends to sew!
Isaac says
SEW ME!!!!!!
Laura says
“SEW ME!” I’m a one, but in my desires I would be a 10 fashioning myself couture gowns, clothes, and beautiful home accents.
Amanda says
Sew Me! I’d say I’m a 5 and I love to experiment! I am asking Santa for a new machine for Christmas so this would be great!!
Monica says
SEW ME! I’m a 4… but a 9 on anything with a straight line!
Kimberly says
SEW ME!! I’d rate my sewing skills as super sub par…but with the Singer?! It’d make my skills sing! No? I tried. LOL
Jenny says
Sew me!
I’m somewhere in the 5 range. I can sew things (with a pattern!), but still need help putting zippers in and with doing final adjustment/fittings.
Molly D says
Sew Me. I think I am a noob like Sherry. I can sew straight lines, and that’s about it.
Tracy says
Sew me! I am about a 6 and am sewing on a 37 year old Kenmore. I would be thrilled to have a machine like that!
Liz says
Sew Me! I totally think I’m a 5 but my skills prove to be more of a 1 :( I continue to believe in the powers of positive thinking!
Chrissi says
SEW ME! I would put myself at about a 5. I sew quilts, not clothing, but would love to have this as a machine to take to retreats! And to have set up in my studio so that when I have friends over (the ones that are crafty!) they could sew with me!
Jen Mack says
SEW ME! I suppose I would rate my sewing skills at a solid 3 out of 10. But what better way to improve my skills then on this fab new machine! :)
Cheryl says
SEW ME! I fancy myself about a 2. I just need to figure out how to thread the bobbin. LOL
Stacey says
SEW ME! I’ would say my skill level is about a 2…and that’s giving myself a little more street cred than what I really am! :)
Meghan says
SEW ME! I would say I’m a 7… I am very capable at making clothing… I’ve made dresses in the past however I lack the patience to actually get it done. I could probably sew just about anything I’m just not patient enough for it! Hem tape is sooo much easier!
Chris says
SEW ME! I’m most definitely a 0, but I’m hoping to win this for my wife!
Nancy S. in NC says
SEW ME!!!!!
I’m below a 0 in the sewing department!!! Ha! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to learn though (it’s my new years resolution)!
Kimberly Adams says
SEW ME!
I’m maybe a five. I just sewed a cloth diaper that could definitely use some improvements, but practice makes perfect, right?
AshleyS says
SEW ME!!
I would consider myself a decent 7. I have sewn curtains, a few quilts, placemats, and my new favorite project – dresses for my daughter. I currently sew on my mother’s 1982 Singer, so I would love a fancy new machine!
Jessie B. says
SEW ME!! On a scale of 1-10, my sewing skills are a ZERO. As in I just plain ol’ have never sewed a stitch in my life. But now that I have a kiddo, I think it would be a good skill to have. And this sewing machine would be a huge step in the right direction!
Manu says
SEW ME! I can not sew if it were to save my life, but i think that this would make an awesome present for my mum, who has had the same machine for yonks!
maybe then she can teach me!
KMurphy says
SEW ME!! I am a 4.5 learning from my momma who is totally a 10. She has handcrafted the most awesome doll clothes for my daughter and awesome creations for all of her grandchildren. She is incredibly talented I am trying to follow in her footsteps.
Kim says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 0. At this moment if you were to sit me down in front of a sewing machine and told me to get to work, I’d probably just stare at it for a few hours. But a machine like this one might be just the thing to kick me from a sad little 0 up to a 2!
Christine says
SEW ME!!
I would say I’m about a 7-8 – I’ve made clothes from patterns on my super old (like around 30 years old) Kenmore, so I would love to upgrade to new technology! Also so I don’t get so frustrated when my old funny-smelling machine gets a serious jam.
Jessica s says
Sew me! I’d say I’m a 6 maybe :) I can make curtains and quilts but can’t quite figure out clothes!
bria says
SEW ME! If the sewing machine is already set up, I can be about a 4. But if I have to thread the ancient monster I have myself, I’m pretty hopeless. You had me at “Automatic Needle Threader!”
Shanna says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 2 or a 3. I wish I had taken advantage of my grandmother’s sewing talent. She could make clothing and doll clothing without patterns. Anyhow, there’s still time to learn!
M Yasmin says
SEW ME! I have the skills but not the tools.
LeeAnne says
SEW ME!!
I would put myself around a 5/6 but that’s probably just in my head. People most likely see me as a 1/2. ;-)
Kari says
SEW ME!
Angela N says
SEW ME!
I would say I am somewhere in the middle…maybe a 6. I can sew curtains, pillows, bedding, but anything that involves a curve of any kind, forget it! lol
Kristen L says
SEW ME!!
I am definitely a 1, but I have been really wanting to learn!
Eileen says
Sew me!!!!
I’m a two on a good day, but I think my mothers machine hates me so it’s not all my fault.
Sarah L says
Sew me!!!
Merrilee says
SEW ME!

Wendy O. says
SEW ME! I’m somewhere between a 3-4. I took a sewing class while on maternity leave (it was my weekly excuse to get out of the house) this fall. I’m still very much a beginner, but I’m starting to get the hang of this whole sewing thing! :)
Colleen says
SEW ME! I am about a 2-3. Buttons are not a problem. Hems are.
Inne says
SEW ME! I learned to sew on my mum’s 35 year old Singer (which is still going strong btw, but nowhere near as fancy as this machine) and am itching to start sewing for my little girls.
Holly says
SEW ME! I’m probably a 5 or 6–my mom taught me how to sew when I was about 6 years old, and I’ve done more than a few projects since then, but I’d love to get better!
Janice says
“SEW ME!” I hate to brag, but I am a 10! Sadly, not in the Bo Derrick beach body department, but give me a needle & thread and I can whip up anything. I traded in my beloved sewing machine for one that was supposed to be the cat’s meow, but it is not. So, this would be a dream prize.
Kevin M. says
SEW ME! Never sewn, but interested in perhaps learning (my wife is a pro!)
