Singer Heavy Duty 6700C
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
This is the computerized version of the Heavy Duty line: instead of a dial, an LCD screen shows the selected stitch, width and length, called up with a button instead of turning a ring. The one-step buttonhole comes in 7 styles, and there is one font for initials and monograms.
The interior frame stays metal, with the same type of motor as the mechanical Heavy Duty line: presser foot pressure is adjustable, the feed dog drops for free-motion work, and removing the storage compartment frees the arm. The presser foot lifts 6 mm.
It suits people who want the convenience of a screen and button-based selection without moving up to an embroidery or advanced quilting machine: it remains a machine for sewing heavy fabrics with a bit more electronic convenience, not a multi-function machine.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The selected stitch, width and length stay visible on the screen.
- The one-step buttonhole comes in 7 ready-made styles.
- The interior frame is the same metal frame as the Heavy Duty line.
- The multi-voltage power supply covers several countries' mains standards.
Worth knowing
- The needle threader works with a manual lever, not a button.
- The presser foot lifts only 6 mm, less clearance for very thick layers than other machines in the range.
- Selection is single-button: you must scroll through stitches one by one, with no numeric keypad.
