Singer Smart Heavy Duty 9120
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
This is a sewing and embroidery machine controlled through the CREATIVATE app on a phone: beyond the built-in straight stitch, the 200+ stitches are chosen from the phone screen, which also suggests settings and presser foot based on the fabric. The embroidery unit is included, with a 170x100 mm hoop that sets the maximum embroidery area.
The interior frame is metal, the feed dog drops for free-motion work, and sensors flag when the top or bobbin thread is running low. The 29 needle positions and stitch length/width adjustment stay physical, on the machine; the phone connection runs over WiFi.
It suits people who want to start embroidering without buying two separate machines, and are willing to go through a phone to choose stitches: anyone who prefers dials and buttons on the machine itself, without depending on an app, will find that a real constraint here.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The embroidery unit is included, not an accessory to buy separately.
- Sensors flag when the top or bobbin thread is running low.
- 29 needle positions for working close to edges and zippers.
- Presser foot pressure is adjustable to follow lightweight fabrics or thick layers.
Worth knowing
- Stitch choice runs through the phone app: without a connected smartphone, the machine only sews the base straight stitch.
- The included embroidery hoop is a single 170x100 mm size: anyone wanting larger designs must check compatibility with other hoops.
- Top speed is 900 stitches per minute, lower than other Heavy Duty electronic machines without embroidery.
