Room for 260 × 150 mm designs and a sewing machine and an embroidery unit in one: the SINGER Legacy SE300 covers what matters most in a sewing and embroidery machine. It earned a spot in our top 10 sewing and embroidery machines, and it's built for quilters who want embroidery on the same machine.

Full listing title: SINGER® Legacy SE300 Computerized Sewing & Embroidery Machine
The two closest picks in our sewing and embroidery machines ranking, side by side.
Well past the 5x7 class, and the biggest design the SINGER Legacy SE300 stitches in one hooping (about 10.2 × 5.9 in).
Chances are you'll start small with the SINGER Legacy SE300: a name, an initial, a little motif on something you already own. In practice: the big projects too, like a quilt block, a tote panel or a design across the back of a hoodie, without splitting the file.
Between projects it's your sewing machine too.
Bigger designs, comfortably. 260 × 150 mm handles the big pieces, and names still fit, of course.
Only room for one machine? That's what the SINGER Legacy SE300 is for. It sews or embroiders, one job at a time.
Room for cushion fronts, jacket backs and big motifs in one hooping: fewer re-hoopings, fewer alignment headaches.
Hems and repairs on Saturday, a name on the towel on Sunday. Handy if you only have room for one machine; while it embroiders, it can't sew.
Buyers give it 3.6/5, a mixed record, below this ranking's 4.3 average. 132 reviews is a fair sample, enough for the average to mean something.
On Sep 22, 2026, the listing showed $1,198 for the SINGER Legacy SE300. It may have changed since: the button opens the listing with today's price, stock and seller. For comparison, on the same day the listings showed the Janome Memory Craft 9850 at $1,499 and the SINGER SE9180 at $799.99.
Thread it, sew a seam on a scrap, then attach the embroidery unit, and stitch a first sample on scrap fabric with stabilizer before the real project.
A stable table with clear room behind and beside the machine: the embroidery arm moves the hoop around while it stitches.
On paper, it is ready for tote panels, cushion fronts and bigger motifs in one hooping and everyday sewing in between.
Before you order the SINGER Legacy SE300, check the space on your table: the embroidery arm moves the hoop around a 260 × 150 mm field, so give it clear room behind and beside the machine.
The documented field is 260 × 150 mm. Measure the designs you want to stitch, or try them in our design fit calculator: anything bigger means re-hooping.
Each brand reads its own file format. Before you buy designs, check that they are offered in your machine's format (the manual lists it). Our file format guide explains it.
Budget for stabilizer, embroidery thread and spare needles from day one. They are what makes the first stitch-outs lie flat. See the real cost of starting.
While the embroidery unit is attached, it doesn't sew. If you sew a lot or share the machine, two machines can be easier than one combo.

Pick the Janome Memory Craft 9850 if you want our higher-rated option (7.4/10), with more built-in designs (175) and more sewing stitches (200); stay with the SINGER Legacy SE300 for a bigger field (260 × 150 mm).
Bigger designs? The Brother Stellaire 2 Innov-is XJ2 stitches up to 360 × 240 mm (listed at $11,999.99 on Sep 22, 2026) and scores 9.4/10.
Already own a sewing machine? The Brother PE800 embroiders only, up to 130 × 180 mm, and scores 9.4/10.
Rather send designs over Wi-Fi? The Brother SE700 lists wireless transfer and scores 9.3/10.
Our favourite thing about the SINGER Legacy SE300 is room for 260 × 150 mm designs, closely followed by a sewing machine and an embroidery unit in one. With 132 buyer reviews behind it, you are not taking a leap in the dark. Where it falls short: their 3.6/5 average sits under the 4.3 of this ranking. We'd pick it if your designs are bigger than a pocket logo; otherwise, put it next to the Janome Memory Craft 9850 first.
