Singer Sewing Outlet's comments on Heavy Duty machines
Singer's award-winning Heavy Duty machines are fantastic when you want the strength to sew a pair of curtains, repair jeans, quilt or upholster, but they can also sew lightweight fabrics just as a regular machine would. There are no real drawbacks to choosing a Heavy Duty machine.
The combination of a more powerful motor, more metal components and a dual pulley system driving the needle gives you extra penetration power to tackle heavier projects when needed, on a long-lasting, durable and dependable machine. They also sew faster than a regular machine at full speed should you want to, but are completely controllable down to 1 stitch per second using the foot control or the built-in speed control slider.
The HD6705 has a huge number of stitch applications (over 400) as well as 1-step automatic buttonholes in multiple designs and an automatic needle threader. It has built-in letters and numbers, stretch and overlocking stitch patterns, and even blanket stitches, which are rare to find on modern machines.
Its push-button ease of use makes it a popular choice with sewers of every level, from beginner to advanced.
About the Singer Heavy Duty HD6705
The Singer Heavy Duty 6705C is a Heavy Duty sewing machine with computerised settings to make sewing quicker, easier and more efficient. With 411 stitch applications instantly available at the touch of a button and speeds of up to 1,100 stitches per minute, this workhorse powers through thicker fabrics with its enhanced piercing power and strong motor.
An LCD screen shows your stitch choice and its width and length settings, so you always know exactly what you're working with. With basic, stretch and decorative stitches at your disposal, you can add your own personality and creativity to your projects, and with a lettering font also available, that personalisation can take the form of monograms, words or phrases.
The needle threader takes the frustration out of threading a new needle, so you save time getting started. The Drop & Sew bobbin also gives you a faster start and is easy to see at all times, while LED lighting keeps your work area clear and you in control.
The free arm lets you sew hems and cuffs with greater ease, and the tie-off button secures stitches and prevents unravelling at the touch of a button. Cut the thread easily with the integrated cutter on the head of the machine, with no worries over frayed ends or tangles.
Loved by many for its range of stitches, strength and speed, it is great for making clothes, textile art, or sewing heavier fabrics for repairs and other uses.
Thank you to Jess at So What If I Sew for this independent review.

I have the old singer 185k also and needed a newer model for different projects so I bought this new Singer HD and absolutely brilliant machine so far.
Had inherited an older Singer machine but needed a more modern one. Checked reviews online and decided the Singer was best for my needs as I also have an heavy duty industrial for upholstery and sail covers etc. Hiccup on first machine which needed to be replaced but now all okay.
I am loving this machine! It’s an absolute workhorse- but so easy to use. I mainly make bags with heavy fabrics and my previous sewing machine was struggling a bit. This can cope with many layers of fabric - heavy canvas, lining and interfacing- with no problem at all. There is an amazing choice of stitches and an impressive set of presser feet! I purchased the extension table too, which I use a lot and is definitely worth investing in. It’s a quiet machine and has so many features to make life a bit easier! I would happily recommend this machine to anyone from beginner to experienced. Delivery was quick too!
I'm a textile artist & I really put machines through they're paces, so it's fairly early days but I'm loving the machine so far.
The speed is incredible & there's no shaking or movement. I was surprised, as its not a heavy machine.
The assortment of stitches is perfect for what I need too.
If there was 1 thing I could suggest, it would be to supply a free motion sewing foot. It's becoming very popular & I think would definitely steer more buyers to this machine
Love my machine and it's attachments but I think you should have video information on how to use all the different stitches and feet and I've only had it a few weeks and the automatic needle threader doesn't work gutted
I love the little extras that my singer 4411 doesn’t have , love the slow and fast button
would have loved the letters to be bigger, but not tried most of the embroidery shapes yet
After a break of over 40years, I decided to rekindle my love of sewing. Having had 3 singer machines previously, it made sense to stick with what I knew. I have not been disappointed. It's a fabulous machine, very easy to use and the needle threader is so simple. There's multiple stitch choices at the touch of a button and a comprehensive package of various feet.
Ordering and delivery of my machine was straight forward with updates along the way. Thank you for your great service.
I’m a novice and this machine is great for me.
I’m sewing new covers for our boat cushions so these are quite heavy fabric, to this machine it’s no problem at all!
Love it!
Love the machine but disappointed in the £100 worth of extras that were part of the deal. Also your communication was poor and nothing sent to us at all about the extended guarantee.
Absolutely fantastic machine! I love it!
I have arthritic thumbs so the “needle down” feature is brilliant for me as I find it difficult to turn the hand wheel. Easier to teach my granddaughters to sew with too as there’s no need to reach the presser foot, just press a switch & select a slow speed, sew easy! 😂. Love the drop in bobbin too, you can see when it’s running out! So many great features! Would recommend! 😁💚
A beautiful machine simple to use, attractive and lovely handling.I'm a beginner so wanted something that would take me to advanced as I grow. Very happy with this machine.
The sewing machine is fabulous. Really pleased with it. Going to take a while to learn all of the functions but looking forward to doing so.
The delivery of the machine was within 48 hours of ordering, but the fedex delivery service was way beyond the time advised. I also purchased add-ons which came much later than the rest of the order - this was not made clear when placing the order.
To conclude: very pleased with the machine, but sadly not the service!
Not been able to check out all the features yet, however very happy with what I have tested so far.
Very quiet and easy to use. I moved from a very well used 30 year old Janome! so interested to see how I enjoy this one.
I’m an absolute beginner but purchased this machine as I wanted a heavy duty one. So far I am getting on very well, the machine seems very easy to use and I am impressed with what it does ☺️
Prompt delivery, helpful staff, just one thing, I wished it was mentioned that the instructions needed to be printed out by us, I will be contacting you for a paper copy of this through the post, otherwise all good.
I love this machine. It’s so versatile, the range of stitches is amazing, and being heavy duty, it sews through heavy cloth like it’s sewing through butter. A great purchase.
I took ages choosing the best sewing machine for my 18 yr old granddaughter's first machine. I am very pleased with the singer heavy duty machine. Should last her for years and years.
She is delighted with all the many embroidery and stitch choices.
Still at the stage of discovering all the features but in my opinion it is a well made and robust sewing machine. Very happy😊
I have not tired the machine yet, but it looks great and I have a total faith in the company. I will provide an update if anything is wrong with the machine once I have time to try it.
I’ve been using the Singer HD6705C for a few weeks now, and when I made one of my heavier bags, I realised just how much of a game changer a true heavy-duty machine can be. It powered through thick layers effortlessly, something my basic domestic machine would’ve struggled with.
With 410+ built-in stitches, loads of features, and a rock-solid build, it feels like a serious upgrade. Stitching is smooth, the interface is intuitive, and the LED lighting is brilliant for detailed work. But it didn’t come with a manual, which made exploring all the features more of a slow, casual process, I’m still discovering things bit by bit.
One downside? The Easy Thread feature. It’s never worked for me and feels too delicate, more frustrating than helpful. I wouldn’t rely on it.
That aside, the HD6705C is a powerhouse. If you’re sewing thick materials or working on structured projects, it’s a fantastic investment.
