Talk to your local target store and see if they'll accept it as is; otherwise get hold of Singer (http://www.singerco.com). Generally, electronics die in the first 90 days if they're defective...
If you bought it with a credit card, talk to the credit card folks, too.

No power for my singer 7258
Could you please clarify this issue? Is your power cord missing, or you have it and the machine doesn't turn on?
I just took a look at the user's manual for your machine, and your power cord is a standard two-prong polarized laptop cord--you can buy it at any computer store. You may have similar cords around the house on, for instance, your printers. Your first step is trying another cord--that's generally the problem.
If it still doesn't go on, I'm afraid that you'll have to have a technician take a look at it--it could be anything from a blown fuse, to a defective motherboard, to a bad motor.

Singer sewing 7258 E4error
Unfortunately, your machine's manual doesn't list the meaning of error codes. You have two choices. Either go to the Singer site and send an email to customer service, or call their customer service department--if you do that, call as early as possible--8 am is a good time.
You could also purchase the service manual; I took a look at ebay, and there is one for sale there on CD for $14.95. You can also contact Sewing Parts Online; they carry service manual, although when I checked, they don't have yours in stock. However, you can send them an email or call them (recommend calling), and they are most accommodating about ordering service manuals and parts that they don't have in stock.

Hi, my brand new 7258 Singer Stylist sewing machine screeches too much. I've cleaned it, oiled (Singer oil) it and changed the needle three times already, following brand instructions. Still screechin
Without being able to personally troubleshoot, analyze, and diagnose the screeching, no one is going to be able to solve the problem.
That said, for your understsnding of the gravity of the situation, I provide the following info and warnings!!!!!
Loud screeching like you describe is INDICATIVE OF either a pulley-belt joint slipping at very high speed, OR a BEARING in a high speed application binding, NEITHER OF WHICH IS GOOD!!!!!
To prevent possible total destruction of your machine, I strongly suggest the you unplug it UNTIL you can get it to a QUALIFIED repair TECHNICIAN for troubleshooting.
The symptoms you describe are indicative of a very serious problem which could result in severe damage to your machine!

Error code E7 stops operating. what should i do?
I just checked your user's manual, and unfortunately it only lists error codes up to E5. There are several things I would check, though. You're saying that it stops working; I would remove the cover over the thread path--it's separate from the front and back, and may be removed by the user for cleaning--and check to see if there are any threads wrapped around something, preventing the machine from working. I would also check that the bobbin winder and buttonhole lever are in their correct positions. When it stops, try to sew manually by bringing the hand wheel towards you (ALWAYS towards you--never away from you.)
Once you have ruled out user error, you might want to send an email to Singer customer service, asking what the code means, because while it might not be in your user's manual, it is probably in the service manual.
If those haven't worked, it's time to buy the service manual. I get mine from Sewing Parts Online; I checked, and it's not listed as in stock, but if you will call or email them (calling is recommended), they can and will order it for you, and their charges are reasonable.

Singer how to attach darning foot
It can be tricky, but it CAN be done. I'm not sure WHICH foot that you're trying to attach--an embroidery foot or a darning foot, but in both cases, there is a piece at the top of the foot that must be on TOP of the needle clamp screw, with the rest fastened at the side. It helps to remove the needle when you're doing this, but it's not absolutely necessary. Take the screw that holds the presser foot at the side all the way out, then line the foot up and reinsert the screw and tighten by hand as much as you can. At this point, it may APPEAR that it is on, but it probably isn't ALL the way on. It may also appear that it won't fit all the way on the needle shaft, but if you then take a straight-blade screwdriver and tighten all the way, it will snap on the shaft properly.

How can I make buttonholes on this machine?
In addition to using the attachment, there are several other steps that have to be made on your machine. For instance, on some you have to pull down a lever; on others you have to set a dial, and sometimes you have to do both. That's why your attachment alone is not working; it's designed to work WITH other settings. You can get a free user's manual at http://www.manualowl.com/p/Singer/7258-Stylist/Manual/179354, and for heaven's sake, use it as your bible!
