***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
After receiving 10,000 entries in under 24 hours, we returned to crown a random winner of the SINGER One sewing machine. The lucky recipient 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”). Congratulations!
I’ve never used a sewing machine, but I’ve definitely heard the excited muttering coming from the next room when someone else is at work on one. That’s why anything billed as “Our easiest to use machine!” catches my attention. We’re thrilled that SINGER partnered with us to give away a SINGER One — a well-equipped sewing machine that retails for $499 — to one fortunate reader. Features like an Automatic Needle Threader and OneTouch stitch selection make the machine feel approachable for beginners while still offering capability for makers who want to expand their skills.
With 24 available stitch patterns, this model provides a solid range for projects from simple mending and hemming to decorative touches. The combination of easy threading, straightforward stitch selection, and reliable build quality makes it a great choice for someone who wants to learn without wrestling with complicated controls. And yes, SINGER will ship the prize internationally, which means the giveaway was open to entrants around the world.
- PRIZE: A SINGER One sewing machine (a $499 value)
- HOW TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEW ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: Where do you place yourself on the sewing skills scale? Are you a 1 (I couldn’t sew my way out of a paper bag), a 3 (you can probably make a wonky bag or handle basic repairs), or a 10 (you could sew a bag from scratch and maybe even do it blindfolded)? Be honest — this helps us get a sense of our readers and what kinds of future projects and product recommendations would be most helpful.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway was available worldwide. We always ask vendors to ship internationally when possible; some companies have legal or logistical restrictions that limit cross-border shipping, but SINGER agreed to ship this prize globally.
- USUAL DETAILS: One entry per e-mail address. The winner will be selected at random and announced as an update to this post. Return to this page on the announcement date to see who won. Good luck!

Whether you’re brand new to sewing or someone who’s tinkered with fabric for years, the SINGER One is designed to make a variety of tasks accessible. Beginner-friendly features like the Automatic Needle Threader reduce the small frustrations that can discourage newcomers, while OneTouch stitch selection keeps choices simple and fast. The 24 stitch options cover useful basics — straight and zigzag stitches for construction and finishing, plus decorative and stretch-friendly stitches for creative or knit-based projects.
If you win, you’ll have a reliable entry-level machine that’s also capable enough to support growth in skill: practice straight seams, try small home projects like pillow covers or simple tote bags, and then experiment with more advanced patterns as you gain confidence. For those who rank themselves low on the sewing continuum, the ease-of-use features make a great first machine. For intermediate sewists, it’s a convenient and capable tool to keep in a craft room or to gift to a friend or family member who wants to learn.
Again, congratulations to Angela for winning this round, and thanks to everyone who entered. Keep an eye out for future giveaways and tutorials — we love celebrating creativity and helping people pick up new skills.
