A capable step above an ultra-basic starter machine
The Singer M3335 is designed for beginners and developing sewists who want straightforward mechanical operation without being limited to only a handful of stitches.
Its 23 built-in patterns include essential straight and zigzag stitches, stretch stitches for suitable knitted fabrics, decorative options and an automatic one-step buttonhole.
Separate controls for stitch width and stitch length let you adjust the appearance and density of compatible stitches for construction, appliqué, basting, finishing and decorative work.
The full-size sewing area, metal internal frame and included accessory package make the M3335 useful for garments, alterations, crafts, cushions and introductory quilting.
23 stitches and 97 stitch applications explained
The Singer M3335 contains 23 selectable built-in stitch patterns.
Singer’s figure of 97 stitch applications describes the different sewing techniques and project uses those stitches can perform. It does not mean the machine contains 97 separate stitch designs.
This distinction gives customers a clearer and more accurate understanding of the machine.
Useful mechanical features without complicated electronics
97 stitch applications
Use the included stitches across a broad range of garment, craft and home-sewing techniques.
Built-in needle threader
Helps guide the upper thread through the needle eye with less strain and frustration.
One-step buttonhole
Place a button in the buttonhole foot and sew a consistently sized buttonhole in one sequence.
Adjustable stitch width
Change compatible stitches up to approximately 5mm wide for custom sewing results.
Adjustable stitch length
Set stitch length up to approximately 4mm for basting, construction and decorative techniques.
Full metal frame
Supports stable alignment of the main internal sewing components.
Free-arm sewing
Remove the accessory compartment for cuffs, sleeves, trouser hems and narrow projects.
23
Built-in stitch patterns
Practical, stretch and decorative choices for clothing, crafts, alterations and home sewing.
A versatile everyday stitch selection
From basic seams to stretch and decorative sewing
The M3335 gives beginners a useful range without requiring an LCD screen or electronic menu system.
Select the pattern using the clearly marked front dial, then adjust the width and length where the selected stitch allows.
- Straight stitching
- Zigzag stitching
- Stretch seams
- Overcasting and finishing
- Blind hemming
- Decorative sewing
- Appliqué
- Automatic buttonholes
Adjustable stitch width and length
Separate mechanical controls allow compatible stitches to be widened, narrowed, lengthened or shortened.
Longer stitches are useful for basting, gathering and topstitching, while shorter settings produce a denser result for satin-style appliqué and selected decorative techniques.
Adjustable zigzag width also helps when sewing appliqué, finishing raw edges or attaching buttons with the supplied button-sewing foot.
- Maximum stitch width approximately 5mm
- Maximum stitch length approximately 4mm
- Basting and gathering
- Topstitching
- Appliqué
- Edge finishing
Consistent garment buttonholes
Automatic one-step buttonhole
Place the intended button into the rear of the supplied buttonhole foot.
The machine uses the button as a sizing guide and completes the entire buttonhole sequence without requiring the stitch selector to be moved through four separate stages.
This makes repeated buttonholes easier and more consistent than a traditional four-step system.
- One continuous sequence
- Button-sized result
- Buttonhole foot included
- Suitable for garments
- Useful for cushions and bags
- More consistent repeated sizing
1 Step
Automatic buttonhole
Complete both sides and bar tacks without moving through four manual selector stages.
Built-in assisted needle threader
Follow the marked threading route and lower the needle-threading mechanism beside the needle.
The mechanism helps pull a loop of upper thread through the needle eye.
This is especially useful for beginners, frequent colour changes and sewists who find manual needle threading difficult.
Built-in stretch stitches
The M3335 includes stitches designed to flex more effectively than an ordinary straight stitch.
These options support T-shirts, children’s clothing, knit garments and alterations when paired with a suitable ballpoint or stretch needle.
Always test the stitch, tension and needle choice on a fabric offcut before sewing the final project.
- Cotton jersey
- Interlock
- Rib knit
- Stretch woven fabrics
- T-shirt repairs
- Children’s garments
Front-loading Class 15 bobbin
Remove the accessory compartment and open the front cover to access the removable metal bobbin case.
The machine uses Singer Class 15 transparent bobbins, with four supplied in the standard accessory package.
The front-loading layout leaves a smooth metal needle plate around the sewing area and is familiar to many experienced sewists.
- Front-loading bobbin
- Removable metal bobbin case
- Class 15 transparent bobbins
- Four bobbins included
- Built-in bobbin winder
- Smooth needle-plate surface
750
Maximum stitches per minute
Responsive mechanical sewing for garments, repairs, crafts and home projects.
Controlled through the supplied foot pedal
Variable sewing speed
Light pressure on the foot controller provides slower sewing for corners, curves and detailed areas.
Firmer pressure increases speed for longer straight seams and straightforward construction.
The M3335 does not have an electronic speed-limiting slider, so beginners should practise pedal control on fabric offcuts.
- Up to 750 stitches per minute
- Foot-controller operation
- Variable pedal response
- Slow control for detail
- Efficient long seams
- No electronic speed slider
Full metal frame
The machine’s internal metal frame supports the needle mechanism, feed system and main sewing components.
This provides a stable foundation while the outer body remains lightweight enough for home storage and transport to classes.
The metal frame does not make the M3335 an industrial machine or a substitute for a specialist heavy-duty model.
Extra-high presser-foot lift
Raise the presser-foot lever beyond its normal position to create extra clearance beneath the foot.
This helps when positioning layered hems, quilt sections and thicker seam intersections before sewing.
Extra lift increases loading space only. It does not increase the machine’s motor power or turn it into an upholstery machine.
Convertible free-arm design
Remove the front accessory compartment to expose the narrow free arm.
Sleeves, cuffs, trouser hems, children’s clothing and other circular areas can then be positioned around the machine bed.
Refit the compartment for a larger flat sewing surface and integrated accessory storage.
- Sleeves
- Cuffs
- Trouser hems
- Children’s clothing
- Narrow circular projects
- Flatbed sewing
144mm
Space to the right of the needle
Full-size working space for garments, alterations, cushions, crafts and introductory quilting.
Practical domestic sewing space
Room for everyday projects
The M3335 provides approximately 144mm of horizontal space to the right of the needle and approximately 107mm of vertical height.
This accommodates common garment pieces, cushion panels, craft projects and small quilting work.
Larger quilts can be pieced on the machine, although the compact throat space is not intended for effortless quilting of very bulky finished quilts.
Darning plate included
Fit the supplied darning plate over the feed dogs when sewing buttons or performing selected darning and free-motion techniques.
The plate prevents the feed dogs from moving the fabric automatically, allowing the user to position or guide the project manually.
A compatible optional darning or free-motion foot is recommended for greater control during free-motion work.
Built-in LED sewing light
The LED light illuminates the needle, presser foot and fabric immediately around the sewing area.
Improved visibility helps when following seam guides, sewing dark fabric or using closely matched thread.
For light and medium-weight domestic sewing
The Singer M3335 is suitable for common garments, stretch fabrics, crafts, alterations and light home projects.
Singer states that it can sew fabrics ranging from sheer material and stretch knits through to selected denim. Successful sewing still depends on the correct needle, quality thread, suitable settings and manageable seam thickness.
Thick leather goods, dense webbing, heavy canvas assemblies and continuous upholstery production require a stronger heavy-duty or industrial machine.
- Dress cotton
- Quilting cotton
- Polyester blends
- Light linen
- Cotton jersey
- Garment-weight denim
- Craft fabrics
- Light home décor fabric
