Singer Curvy 8770 Testbericht (Update 2023)
Anmerkung des Herausgebers: This Singer Curvy 8770 Review was originally written in 2015, and has been revised and updated in 2023. We have added alternative computerized Sewing machines such as Brother CS7000X, Brother CS5055, Und Janome 4120QDC.
While in West Palm Beach on business, I decided to make a stop on the way home to say hello to my friends at Gold Coast Sew and Vac.
While there, I spotted a computerized Singer sewing machine that I had not yet had the opportunity to review—the Singer Curvy 8770.
Singer Curvy 8770 Overview
The Singer Curvy 8770 sewing machine provides an array of features to accommodate a wide range of sewing tasks. With its vast stitch selection, users can explore numerous options for creating intricate patterns and designs. The machine's programmable needle up/down feature allows for precise stitching and convenient pivoting of fabric. Alongside this, automatic thread tension control simplifies the sewing process by ensuring optimal thread balance.
The Curvy 8770 boasts user-friendly elements such as a built-in needle threader, which eliminates the tedious task of manually threading the needle. Its drop-in bobbin system allows for easy bobbin winding and insertion, minimizing interruptions during sewing projects. The machine's sturdy construction ensures stability, contributing to smooth and reliable operation. Additionally, adjustable stitch length and width options provide flexibility in tailoring stitches to suit various fabric types and sewing techniques.
The Singer Curvy 8770 is a sleek ‘curvy’ machine that has a small monochromatic LCD screen situated above a series of touch pads and buttons that are used to select stitches as well as adjust stitch length and width, store stitch patterns in the memory, engage the mirror imaging feature, and a small dial at the bottom of the column which is used to dim and brighten the backlit LCD screen.
There is also a tension dial on top of the machine head on the left side, a see through bobbin cover, a needle plate with limited seam guides etched on it, a removable workspace that doubles as an accessory case and a drop feed control switch on the back of the free arm.
On the left side of the machine head is a lever that when depressed, engages the automatic Nadeleinfädler. The reverse stitch button is located above the needle. I noticed at that time that the Singer Curvy 8770 has no start/stop button… a feature that is rather common on most computerized sewing machines. It does, however, have an automatic needle threader and a side thread cutter.

Working on the Singer Curvy 8770
Winding the bobbin and threading the Singer Curvy 8770 are very simple tasks… so simple, in fact, that a child in elementary school could master the task alone after a few successful attempts under adult supervision.
The stitch selection process is accomplished through a series of easy to remember steps. First, it is necessary to use the menu buttons on the front of the column to identify the menu section where the desired stitch is located.
The button to locate and identify decorative and utility stitches is located on the left hand side of the button panel, above the mirror image icon.
The button used to select and program the alphanumeric font is located on the opposite side of the panel. Directional buttons are used to select stitch designs, adjust stitch length and width and customize stitch pattern selections.
When the desired stitch setting is achieved, press the center circle button and then the foot pedal to sew.
The stitches produced by the Singer Curvy 8770 are well executed, sturdy and evenly formed. The machine is quiet and has a solid feel.
There was no vibration and the ergonomic curvy design made me feel quite comfortable while sampling stitches for this review.

Summary: Singer Curvy 8770 Review
The Singer Curvy 8770 is very much like its predecessor, the Singer Curvy 8763, but has features not found on the earlier model.
Features that are available on the 8770 but not on the 8763 include an additional 195 stitches; five more buttonholes, including the continuous buttonhole; and the inclusion of presser feet that are not part of the standard accessory list with the purchase of the 8763.
Cosmetically, the 8763 might be a little more attractive with its lavender colored accents, as opposed to the gray accents on the 8770.
To my pleasant surprise, working the Singer Curvy 8770 was an unexpected pleasure. Unlike many late model Singers, this particular machine is quiet and has a solid feel with practically no vibration at all. The basic on-board thread guides are not only easy to follow, they are simple enough for a child to follow with only a little bit of assistance from an adult. Winding the bobbin is equally uncomplicated.
The see through bobbin cover and on-board seam guides on the needle plate are very well designed. I have no hesitation in recommending the Singer Curvy 8770 for use by beginners from the age of nine or ten and up.
It is also a good choice for the advanced home sewer who wants a basic computerized sewing machine with all of the essential features, but none of the extra bells and whistles that are included on many upscale, more costly computerized home sewing machines. I do not like the fact that the drop feed control lever is located behind the free arm, making it necessary to remove the worktable/accessories case in order to gain access to it.
Through conversations with other people who sew, I am learning that people who have been sewing for as long as I have are the majority of people who are not satisfied with this feature. People who have not become accustomed to the drop feed being easily accessible on the front of sewing machines do not seem to have an issue reaching behind the machine to drop the feed dogs. I guess that’s another advantage of having learned to sew ‘back in the day’.
For several years, I have been somewhat disappointed with many of the sewing machines bearing the Singer name. The 8770, however, is an exception – at least when brand spanking new. I cannot vouch for the performance or durability of this machine beyond the first few months of use. But I must say that I am impressed by its performance when it is first put into use.
Only time will tell if a brand new Singer Curvy 8770 will continue to perform at this excellent level after a period of time in an actual home sewing room. My recommendation is that anyone interested in purchasing this machine do so with a bit of caution.
In my opinion, it is essential that anyone who purchases a Singer in this era be fully aware that in the years since the company was sold by its original owners, the Singer sewing brand has gone through several transformations.
The quality and reputation of the brand have declined, and it no longer holds the high rating and esteem that it once held. Lately, however, I have come across a few Singer Nähmaschinen that indicate that the current owners, SVP [Singer/Viking/Pfaff], have been making a few attempts to improve the quality and workmanship of certain Singer models. The Curvy 8770 is definitely one of those models.
If you decide to add a Singer Curvy 8770 to your own sewing room, please make sure you take the time to visit an authorized independent Singer sewing machine dealer. It is only when you purchase a sewing machine from an authorized independent dealer that you get that level of personal, one-on-one service and attention – even with an economically priced machine—that you simply can’t get from a large corporation, a big box store, or the internet.
It’s the relationships that you build with store owners and associates that make all the difference in the world. Those of us who spend a lot of time in the sewing room become attached to our machines. They are like our children, and we want people who care as much about them as we do—who understand how important they are to us—to be nearby to talk to, troubleshoot, and share ideas with.

My husband bought me a Singer 8060. I can not find any reviews on it. Had anyone had a chance to check this machine out?
I regret so much having purchased the Singer Curvy 8770. So expensive, so much that I expected, and it just won’t work. The thread keeps making a nest under the fabric, no matter how tense or loose the tension is, no matter how many times have I threaded it, no matter how many hours have I put in watching all videos on how to avoid that problem: the thread just keeps gathering underneath!!!
I hate this machine, and wish I had used my money buying something else but a Singer.
Yes, I agree. After very little use, the touchscreen works one day and not the next. It always has tension problems. I HATE THIS MACHINE and have gone back to one I bought in the 80’s.
I have the singer curvy 8770, its been sent to the manufacturer once, when it went wrong, has had a service and repair about 6 to 12 months later, haven’t used it in 5 years as it started to go wrong again, tried to have it repaired again in the last 2 months, repair man couldn’t fix it, its to do with a thread guide displaced not pick up thread – manufacturer fix.
Spoke with Singer who say i need to find a local repair person to see if they can or are willing to fix it. Just weighing up whether its worth it or not.
I loved using my curvy 8770 and was on a roll made 5 camp shirts and 3 flannel shirts. I was making “potholders” and my machine quit zig zagging. only straight stitch. I have tried everything to repair. Our only local sewing machine “fix it shop” wants $175.00 YES, 175 just to look at it. I am thinking about getting a “Brother” heavy duty that is on sale for that repair price. Wish i knew how to fix the timing myself. You tube is no help. I love to sew, darn it.
