Embroidery field, per SINGER

More than a 4x4, short of a full 5x7, and the biggest design the SINGER SE9180 stitches in one hooping (about 6.7 × 3.9 in).

What changes at your sewing table

With the SINGER SE9180 on the table, a plain towel or tote can become a gift with a name on it. In practice: names, initials and medium motifs in one go, while a full 5x7 design would need splitting.

A 7-inch touchscreen is where you place and resize each design before the needle moves. Between projects it's your sewing machine too.

Names and patches, or bigger designs?

Mostly names and medium motifs. 170 × 100 mm is more than a 4x4, but a full 5x7 design (130 × 180 mm) won't fit, so check each file's size first.

Only room for one machine? That's what the SINGER SE9180 is for. It sews or embroiders, one job at a time.

Great if…

you only have room for one machine

Skip it if…

you want a 5x7 field or bigger: this one stitches 170 × 100 mm
you want to sew and embroider at the same time: it does one job at a time
star ratings come first for you: 3.7/5 is below the 4.3 average of this ranking
you simply want our top pick: that's the Brother Stellaire 2 Innov-is XJ2 (9.4/10)

Why it made our list

170 × 100 mm field

Bigger than the classic 4x4, so names and medium motifs fit in one go; for full 5x7 designs, check each file against this size first.

Sews and embroiders

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.

7-inch touchscreen

A bigger screen makes it easier to place, resize and preview a design before the needle moves.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 3.7/5, a mixed record, below this ranking's 4.3 average. 82 reviews is still a modest pile, so a handful of new ones can move it.

Living with it

Delivery day

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.

Its spot

A stable table with clear room behind and beside the machine: the embroidery arm moves the hoop around while it stitches.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the SINGER SE9180, check the space on your table: the embroidery arm moves the hoop around a 170 × 100 mm field, so give it clear room behind and beside the machine.

Before you buy

Your designs

The documented field is 170 × 100 mm. Measure the designs you want to stitch, or try them in our design fit calculator: anything bigger means re-hooping.

Design files

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.

Stabilizer and thread

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.

Sewing and embroidery

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.

Better fit elsewhere?

Bigger designs? The Janome Memory Craft 9850 stitches up to 170 × 200 mm (listed at $1,499 on Sep 22, 2026) and scores 7.4/10.

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 take

The verdict

The SINGER SE9180 earns its place with a 170 × 100 mm field and sewing and embroidery in one machine. Only 82 buyers have rated it so far (3.7/5), so treat the score as an early read. Where it falls short: their 3.7/5 average sits under the 4.3 of this ranking. We'd pick it if you only have room for one machine; otherwise, put it next to the SINGER Legacy SE300 first.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SINGER SE9180 any good?

What do you get with the SINGER SE9180?

Its documented specs list a 170 × 100 mm field, sewing and embroidery in one machine and a 7-inch touchscreen. These are the manufacturer's and seller's figures, not our measurements: how neat the stitches look on your own fabric can't be read from a spec sheet.

What should I check before ordering the SINGER SE9180?

Your designs: the documented field is 170 × 100 mm. Measure the designs you want to stitch, or try them in our design fit calculator: anything bigger means re-hooping. Design files: 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. Stabilizer and thread: 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. Sewing and embroidery: 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.

Where can I buy the SINGER SE9180?

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.

Have you used the SINGER SE9180 yourselves?

No, we haven't used it ourselves. Everything on this page comes from its listing and 82 buyer reviews, read line by line and weighed with our published formula.
