Singer Confidence 7470 Sewing Machine Review
The Singer Confidence 7470 sewing machine is a hit with both beginners and experienced sewers. The large selection of decorative stitches and intuitive control panel make sewing easy, fun, and rewarding. With such variety and beginner-friendly automation, this is not a machine you would easily outgrow. This is one that will grow with you and will encourage your creativity.
Singer Confidence 7470 Stitch Patterns
There are 146 built-in stitches including the most used utility stitches. However, those sewing must-haves (straight, zigzag, stretch stitches, blind hem, overcasting and such) become quite boring once you see the fun, decorative stitches - puppies, vines, and an assortment of satin stitches as well as quilting and heirloom stitches.
A number of stitch functions like reverse and mirror can be applied to many of the decorative stitches and you can save up to 20 stitch patterns in memory in order to repeat created patterns. This is particularly useful with the letter and character stitches. Just program the same words or set of initials into the machine for future reference as you monogram shirts, blankets, towels or baby bibs.
To further save time, there are six buttons for single, push button stitch selection for the most used stitches - straight, zigzag, blind hem, overcasting, blanket, and a bartack buttonhole.
Singer Confidence 7470 Presser Feet
The Singer Confidence 7470 sewing machine comes with four snap-on presser feet and 3 presser foot height settings - down, up and extra-up for thick fabrics.
Zipper Foot (General Purpose)

Singer Confidence 7470 Features
There's no lack of automation and functionality. The bright, LCD screen is easy to read and uses icons and images to help clarify settings and stitch selection. The push button control panel is easy to operate.
The sewing machine includes an automatic needle threader, Drop and Sew bobbin for easy set up, a see through bobbin cover, automatic and adjustable upper thread tension, and horizontal top thread delivery. A Needle Up/Down position means you get to decide in which position the needle stops and can be useful for making nice, tight corners. The needle also has 13 available needle positions.
The extension arm removes for free-arm sewing or so that you can access the drop feed dog lever. Dropping the feed dogs allows for free motion embroidery and free motion quilting. A Twin needle button on the machine helps the machine control which stitches can be selected when a twin needle is attached and prevents the machine from being damaged by the selection of any stitches not compatible with the twin needle.
The work space is well lit with a StayBright, long-lasting LED light. A built-in carry handle is attached at the top of the machine. A number of accessories come with the machine including extra needles, bobbins, an extra spool pin for twin needle sewing, spool caps, seam ripper, screwdriver and a dust cover.
The Singer Confidence 7470 sewing machine is the top of the line in the Confidence series and offers the most features and functionality yet still very reasonably priced and an excellent choice for someone who wants a machine that will handle multiple types of sewing projects and fabrics.
