LAVERGNE, TN--(Marketwired - Aug 26, 2013) - Singer Sewing Company today announced the launch of the Vivo^™ by SINGER^® Create and Repair Machine. This machine meets consumer demand for practicality and convenience by taking the trouble out of fixing minor tears, repairing or altering clothing and adding fun, creative embellishments to personal fashion and home décor items.

"While SINGER^® is known for sewing, we designed the Vivo^™ with the non-sewer in mind as a handy household tool everyone can use," said Katrina Helmkamp, CEO of SVP Worldwide, producer of the SINGER^® brand. "With this machine, sprucing up your living space, taking on do-it-yourself projects, and completing basic household repairs is now quicker and easier than ever before."

Simple to use, carry and store, the Vivo^™ by SINGER^® Create and Repair Machine weighs only 7.2 pounds and can be conveniently used anywhere in the house. It enables users to effortlessly fix small tears, join pieces of fabric together, and hem and patch garments at the touch of a button.
