The machine is easy to thread and with the horizontal spool design, the thread should come off the spool quite easily and without causing any tangles or other difficulties. With 3 to 5 built-in stitch patterns one could practice using the main stitches, the straight and the zig-zag, until they were comfortable with using all of them. There are not a lot of bells and whistles to confuse the novice making sewing a bit more fun. Two, this is a great model for beginners to learn how to sew on. One, it is or was made by Singer and although they have had their lemons over the years, this doesn't appear to be one of them. Two good things are going for this sewing machine model. Rest assured, the model did not make it out of the 80s, and to be fair to Ismacs, they did mention that the 6212 was made in Brazil as well. It may be possible but it is also possible that he did not know the exact date of production. One seller over at Etsy thought his wife’s 6212C was made in 1987 but wasn’t sure. The last word we have is that it was only in production for that year but stranger things have happened. Or it was only made in 1984 and since the sewing machine was made in Brazil, it could have escaped Ismacs’ attention. The 1980s date did appear in another review so most likely Ismacs lumped the two model numbers together and the 6212C was made in the 1980s and Singer stopped production in 1989. This presents an interesting problem as one sewer has said that they received their 6212C in 1984 and their manual was also published in 1984. The 6212 is mentioned and is said to have been made between 19. That list goes from #1 to #9920 which is the LE series and the 6212C is not mentioned. Ismacs has a very comprehensive and detailed list of all Singer models made throughout the years since the company was founded. We went to the most authoritative website to find the answer to this question.
