Performance
The 7258 model is an incredible sewing machine that provides the users with technological innovation, quality and performance. It is equipped with 100 built-in stitches, including 9 essential stitches, 8 stretch stitches, 76 decorative stitches, 7 buttonholes stitches. Plus, it features 6 styles of 1-step buttonholes which will help you complete even the most complicated quilting projects. The fact that the buttonholes are automatic is a major perk, especially because there are seven different options to choose from. However, with this amazing device, you can create perfect-sized buttonholes each and every time you want. Also, you will be pleased to know that there are various stitch and needle options available with this model. Keep in mind that the maximum stitch width for this device is 6mm while the maximum stitch length is 3 mm. The start/stop button and the sewing speed selector is something you will be very curious to try out. While the location of the first button is convenient, the speed slider is extremely consistent. Compared to the Brother CS6000i which has 850 stitches per minute, this Singer model has 750 stitches per minute. However, it still is extremely powerful and operates very fast. All in all, this is an amazing device that comes with a wide range of stitches for all types of sewing, including quilting, crafts, heirloom, fashion, home and decorative sewing.

The fact that it features 10 presser feet is a major perk. Including with this unit are the following presser feet:
- buttonhole
- zigzag
- blind hem
- zipper
- rolled hem
- overcast
- darning and embroidery
- satin stitch/straight stitch
- straight stitch
- gathering
What we really like about this device is the fact that it comes with the option to drop the feed dogs out of the way. This means that you will be able to do free-motion quilting or embroidery lines. Thanks to its simple controls, this computerized model is very easy to use and setup. In fact, beginners shouldn’t have any issues getting used to the button’s work which is below the LED screen. On the left side of the screen are 2 buttons which are used for stitch selection while the other 4 buttons which control the stitch length and width settings are placed in a circular quad. Another important and useful button is the needle up/down button. It allows you to program the device to leave the needle all the way up or all the way down. Furthermore, there is an electronic autopilot that allows you to adjust maximum speed and sew without the foot pedal.
