***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 would say I am maybe a 2 or 3… I’ve sewn quick fixes but I dont think I’ll be straying away from no-sew hem tape anytime soon unless I get a fancy machine like this!!!
Miss E says
So… sew me!
I’m a proud 6-7. My mom is a quilter and taught me at a young age. Unfortunately my Singer bit the dust 2 halloweens ago while working on a costume. I’m in serious need of some sewing action so I can have curtains in my new home!
Sabrina B says
SEW ME!
I was taught by my grandmother how to make pillows years ago, so maybe a 1.5?
Lexie says
SEW ME! I’d give myself a 3 as well – I recently tried to make a bag, and it turned out a little wonky. Trying to get better!
Max says
SEW ME!
Entering for my wife who is a self-proclaimed 2… but, I’d rank her a 4.
Liza says
Sew me! I’m around 3. Would love to have one to make tons of crafts for home. Never had a sewing machine, always had to use my mom’s which is now broken. Perfect timing for this! :)
Brian Doorak says
SEW ME!
I am a 1 I have not sewn since home economics in high school!
Beatrix says
Sew me! I can sew some things but I still have crooked seams…
Marie L says
SEW ME!
I am a 3 or 4 but trying to get better. My husband though is a 7 probably so he teaches me! He’s been wanting a nicer sewing machine. Maybe I can surprise him! :)
Donna says
Sew Me! I haven’t used a sewing machine before but would be anxious to learn!
Susan Aiiison-Diaz says
Sew Me! I would be a 3 “wonky bag” skill level.
Linda says
SEW ME!
It’s been a while, but I think I would be around a 6… need some practice I guess.
Shana says
SEW Me and my husband ( thought you’d appreciate the play on words) are moving into a new house in the next month and I would love the help of this machine to move me past a level 3 so I can make wonderful creations for this new house. Thanks. Have a great day!
Ali says
SEW ME!! :)
Oh my gosh, I’m a 1 or maybe a zero? My skills need some practice, that’s for sure.
Steph Pitzer says
SEW ME! I feel that I am with Sherry, hovering around a 3. Maybe someday I’ll inch up towards a 6 or 7!
Becky S. says
SEW ME! I took Home Ec in high school…does that count as skills? Yeah, I would be a 1.
becky says
“SEW ME!”
Stevie says
Sew Me! What a fantastic giveaway. I’m going to say i’m about a 3, but reaching for 8, 9. :)
Rosie says
SEW ME! I’m probably around an 8, but I started learning almost 20 years ago. Home Dec and crafty stuff and kids stuff are pretty easy… its sewing clothes for me that is hard, and thats what I REALLY want to be doing. :)
Nancy Walsh says
SEW ME!
Used to make a lot of my clothing but always had old machines that didn’t work very well…finally just gave us. Would love to start sewing again with a nice machine
Ruth says
SEW ME!
I’d say a two. I can hand sew, but no nothing about sewing machines.
Katie @ Suburban Fervor says
SEW ME!
I think I’m probably around a 5 or 6. Definitely still room to learn!
Sarah Arsenault says
SEW ME!
I don’t know if I can even consider myself a 1, I can barely sew a button on a shirt :)
I would love to learn though.
Christie says
SEW ME!!! I’m a 1, but I’ve been wanting to learn so I can make my own skirts!
Maggie N says
SEW ME!
I can stitch by hand, and sew up buttons and holes, I once even sewed my own pin cushion…but I’m pretty hopeless with a sewing machine! I’d love to learn on one as nice as this though! I think this makes me a 2
Jenifer says
SEW ME…I think a 0! Very early in the learning process still!
Kristina says
Sew Me! > 3-4, but could excel with a new machine.
Casey says
SEW ME!
I can use a needle and thread but am a rookie with a sewing machine. Would love to learn though!
Tania Bulmer says
SEW ME!
I would say a 5 maybe depends on what i am working on.
I don’t have a machine right now and would love one!
Kate says
SEW ME!
Well, probably a 2. And, I totally related to that post Sherry wrote about screaming into her pillow. My hope is that with this machine I could tackle some curtains!!!!
Meghan@RatnamResidence says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2-3. I know how to use it and can hem curtains but making something from scratch would be an adventure…
neca says
sew me! I’d rate myself a solid 5. I make curtains & things for the home. I have an old bare bones machine, so I would love this!
Courtney M says
SEW ME. A 0-1, but that could change!
Jennifer Chen says
SEW ME!
probably a 5… I made a beanbag frog back in grade 8 home economics. It looked like a frog!
Rita says
Sew me!
I’m probably a 4 and have loved applying sewing to my new hobby, upholstery.
Larissa says
SEW ME!
I am very confident that I could do all kinds of cool stuff with a sewing machine. I mean, how hard can it be? So I feel like I’m an 8, but I’m probably more like a 2.
Melanie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 2, but I really want to learn and do not already own a sewing machine so this would be awesome. First project would be pretty pillows!
Lara says
SEW ME!
Not that talented when it comes to sewing….but i’m trying.
cindy says
SEW ME!!
I used to be able to sew really well…not sure about not, but I’d love to get back into it!
Amanda says
Sew me!
I have a skill of probably 1, but would love to get started with a machine :)
Jen says
SEW ME! Please!! I just learned to sew and I keep borrowing my Mom’s sewing machine (you’ve seen it–Betty Draper uses the same one on Mad Men), but I want my own to keep improving my skills beyond bam! these pieces of fabric are now together
Leigh says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 6-ish. I’m pretty adept with a pattern and have made my own clothes, but there’s a lot more I could learn.
Sarah says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 2/3 but I’ve been dreaming of freshening up my skills! And this would totes help!
Casie says
SEW ME!
I am about a 5. I’ve sewn quite a few pillows for my house and some dresses for my daughters (including the ones they wore to our wedding 2 years ago). I have a VERY basic machine and would love this One!!
Carrie L. says
SEW ME!
I’m low on the knowledge pole for sewing. Probably a -1. I’m excited to learn though!
Emily says
SEW ME!! I’m definitely a 3. I think I could make a wonky bag.
Amy says
SEW ME! Probably a 5 – not too great, but not terrible either.
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I’m about a 4. Had a spree in middle school where all I would do was sew PJ pants :)

SEW ME! I’m probably a 1! Lol
