***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…

Meghan says
Sew me! I would consider myself a 1 or a 2. I definitely want to improve my skills!
April says
SEW ME! Maybe a 2.5
Robin says
SEW ME! I am probably a 4, when I really take my time and pay attention. Which isn’t every time, unfortunately.
Jeni says
SEW ME! Hum, I’d say I’m a 1, a good machine might improve that I hope! Great to see an international giveaway, thanks guys.
Rachel Lockwood says
SEW ME! I’m a 2…I have used a sewing machine before, but it’s been a long time and I had a great deal of help. I want to learn to do it on my own!!
Jennifer says
SEW ME! I would rate myself a 2. If I could thread the needle, I think I could sew a few straight lines.
Amanda Kattner says
“SEW ME!” I would say a 4 or 5. I’ve been quilting for a over a year and I love it!
mary says
SEW ME! I would be a beginner! Would love to learn with this machine!
Jenn says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 3 I’d say. I really want to work on my sewing skills but I’m scared to mess up. I should just suck it up and do something though or else I will never get better!
Jennifer says
“SEW ME the money!” Hopefully my tailor will stop saying this to me once this machine helps me build up my Jenny Humphrey seamstress skills to a 10!
Lauren says
SEW ME! I am a 1! I am currently trying to learn how to sew for simple home projects.
Courtney H. says
SEW ME!!!
I’ve got some skills sewing pillows… but that’s about it. I’d probably say I’m a 3 or 4.
Sara E says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3 or 4. I can sew a straight line and a decent corner. I would love to have a machine to learn more.
Kristen says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m about a 6, but with a better machine (mine is pretty cheap) I bet I could pass for a 7 or even an 8!
Michelle @ Lifewithacrazypup says
SEW ME! I’ve been dying for a sewing machine lately! Its even on my Christmas list. I’d be a brand spankin’ newbie though — so we’ll go with a 1 haha!
Annie says
“SEW ME!” Great timing, I just asked my husband for a sewing machine for Christmas. I am a 1 that wants to be a 4 or 5!
Allyson M says
SEW ME! I would say I’m around a 3.. I haven’t QUITE got the hang of it, but I could definitely turn something out if necessary! I keep saying that I’d like to learn more, but I just never actually sit down to challenge myself!
Carissa says
SEW ME!
I’m a 1 w/ John! But I have been considering taking lessons.
Erin says
SEW ME!!! I’m probably 3-4 but I would like to be higher! My granny is an amazing seamstress (she made my wedding dress). She taught me to make pillowcases when I was younger, and I can fix a ripped seam :)
Michele from IL says
SEW ME! I think I’m probably about a 4 or 5, but the sewing machine I’ve had for almost 20 years just konked out on me, so for right now, I’m a 1, because I’m back to thread and needle by hand (and it’s not as easy to see the eye of the needle now as it was 20 years ago). I need a self-threading needled machine! :)
Kylie says
Sew me, please. I am definitely a 1. I can sew a button by hand, but when it comes to a machine, it’s like a foreign object. I have been wanting a machine for almost a year now to learn on. This looks like a perfect one! :)
Denise says
SEW ME!
I’d say I’m a 8 or 9. I’ve been sewing for 47 years. I love to sew quilts, curtains, pillows, costumes, and just about anything. I sew on a Singer machine that was my mom’s. She got it when I was a baby, so the machine is as old as me and still sews beautifully. It’s got to konk out soon, though!
Michelle W says
SEW ME!
I’m a 2! I used to sew double sided fleece cage liners for my pets rats (so they wouldn’t walk on metal bars), but that’s all the skill I have. This machine would let me attempt curtains for the house!
henni says
SEW ME! unfortunately a 1 :(
melissa says
“SEW ME!”
I would definitely be a 1. Nevermind sewing my way out of a bag,
I’d probably accidentally sew myself into it.
Rebecca says
SEW ME! I used to be able to use a sewing machine well, but I haven’t tried my hand at it in forever!
Vaish says
sew me! probably a 2..
Kate says
SEW ME!
A 1. I need this machine to make me a 2. :)
David says
SEW ME!
I’m a definate 1; I made a pillow case in middle school home economics but I’d love to win this for my mom. She does amazing things with her avocado green sewing machine that’s older than me!
Melissa says
SEW ME!
I’m probably a 5, but I’m hoping to keep learning!
Sandy says
SEW ME!
I’m probably like…a 4. Maybe a low 5. I can never thread the bobbin without googling it first, though!
THANKS!
Andrea says
SEW ME! I’ve been wanting a sewing machine and would LOVE to win this! I think I’m definitely a 1 – a lot to learn!
Denon says
SEW ME! On the sewing skills continuum, I would be ~1 – I can sew a hem on a curtain, but I’ll need my mom to teach me a LOT more. Here’s to finger’s crossed for more Mom & daughter sew time
Mary says
Sew me!
Probably a one.
Whit says
SEW ME! I’m about a 3 too.
alison says
oh my gosh this is SEW ME! pretty pretty please? I’m reduced to begging. I’m not very god at sewing, maybe a 3 but half the problem is that I’m using my grandma’s old machine so I spend half my time fixing it instead of sewing!! thank you!!
Amanda says
SEW ME!
I am maybe a 5. I made a few things on my mom’s machine in high school and college, and have hand sewn a couple things since I don’t have a machine. The product is usually ok, but the process is very painful :)
Jenny says
SEW ME!
I’m probably about a 2.5, I could jump up to a 3 if I owned a machine and fiddled with it a little. I briefly learned to sew in highschool for one semester but haven’t ever had my own sewing machine to play on.
Stephanie says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 3, like Sherry. I can mostly sew a straight line, after taking a class from a friend and master crafter. I’d love to win this sewing machine, to gift my sister who learned with me!
Alicia says
SEW ME!
I am a 3……and a 5 in my dreams! What a great giveaway!
Jennifer B says
SEW ME!
I am a solid 2. I took sewing in high school and rocked it and would love to pick it up again to finally make curtains and pillow for out house.
Alison says
“Sew me”
I once sewed my daughters 1st birthday dress and i haven’t done anything since. She’s 4 now ;-)
Jacki says
SEW ME!
Total beginner, but I’m constantly drooling over projects I seen on-line and think “if I had a sewing machine, I could totally do that”. I remember my mom sewing my 1st day of kindergarten dress, although I would never put my daughter through the same shame–I’m the same age as Sherry, so just remember your early childhood ’80’s wardrobe!!
Laura says
Sew Me!
I’m a 1, for sure, but my mom and grandmother both make their own clothes and quilts, so I’d love to learn more.
Kate L. says
SEW ME! I’m a 1 but would love to be a 10! Wahoowa!
Willow says
SEW ME!
I’m a 3. My mother is a complete pro and owns a quilt shop. I try and try but just don’t have the patience and skill she does.. but am really wanting to get better! I could probably manage a wonky bag, if I had a machine I understood! She would be sew proud :)
Lauren says
SEW ME! I’m definitely a 1 on that scale, but I’d love to get better! Maybe I can start with curtains…
Ashley says
SEW ME!!!
I am a 3… but my machine broke so I have been resorting to hand stitching and glue!
Jessica Kish says
SEW ME!!
I’m more of a 1…
Alina says
SEW ME!
I’m probably around a 7.5…I’ve progressed from never having had touched a sewing machine until 2 years ago, and now it’s my livelihood! Think clothing, bags, homewares…but I definitely still have a lot to learn!
