SINGER Quantum Stylist 9960 Computerized Sewing & Quilting Machine – Metal, Plastic, with Extension Table, Hard Case & Accessories, 600 Stitches, Lettering, LED Light, 1-Step Buttonhole

I LOVE this machine so much! I bought it in 2019, and it has been working beautifully, with zero issues, ever since. Threading is easy, and I love all the features. I have not used the knee-pedal function, so I can't speak to that. I have used a lot of the decorative stitches, and I love how easy it is to switch between stitches, changing length, width, etc. I also love how well it handles thick layers of fabrics. Last year I discovered and fell in love with rag quilts. I made a quilt that is three layers of flannel, so in some scenarios, I was sewing seams that were eight layers of flannel with all the folding, and with the aid of a walking foot, it handled that with a breeze - not a single skipped stitch. I've never, ever had any issues with skipped stitches, broken needles, broken threads, or stitches bunching up. I also find it quieter than previous machines. I do have it on a pad, so that probably helps some. I also appreciate that there are numerous excellent and easy-to-follow YouTube tutorials that I have referred to over and over again to refresh myself on how to do something or figure out the best foot to use for a project, or even figure out what some of the mystery feet and other accessories are for. I also learned a valuable tip about the two different places for thread, depending on what type of spool it is (e.g., vertical spool for traditional spools and horizontal spool for threads that have that zig-zaggy threaded look, like serger cones). My only wish for this machine is that it had a bigger throat plate. Now that I've fallen in love with rag quilts, I've had scenarios where the (standard) smaller throat plate is an obstacle. For that reason, I bought another machine with a bigger throat plate, designed for quilters, and I'll be passing the Quantum Stylist machine on to another family member, who is thrilled. I am confident it will give them many years of joy as they fall in love with it too. This machine is a true workhorse, and I recommend it for any sewing enthusiasts (unless you are a quilter and need a bigger throat space)!

I couldn’t be happier with the Quantum stylist 9960. The stitch quality is amazing! I love the double needle function. It works so smoothly! Also, I love the fact that you can move the needle up to 25 positions which makes edge stitching a breeze. I don’t care what others say, this machine is extremely quiet and runs so smooth. I have made many projects already with it and just keep bragging about all the features. Mostly, I did not have a cutter before while you can’t use it with the double needle function, when you sew in regular mode, you won’t have to deal with long threads dangling from your fabric or seam. It cuts real close to the seam. Love the needle threader too. While a lot of people find it difficult to use…..it’s not that bad….just watch a few videos and once you get it you will never go back to manually threading your machine. I used to hate trying to thread the needle and sometimes it would de-motivate me from continuing to sew. It is quite the value and comes with so many extras for the price. It’s worth it. It’s definitely comparable to those real high priced machine, but at a fraction of the cost. Also, if the computerized machine scares you…..this one is very user friendly right off the bat.

This is a powerful sewing tool! The manual explains things pretty well. I would prefer that English be in one part, Spanish and French in their own sections, but it was still clear just the same. I printed it out online and read through it before the machine arrived. My printout was larger and more readable (just a heads up if you have "old eyes"). The machine is very intuitive and easy to move through the stitch patterns and to personalize them if you wish. The amount of presser feet included in this machine is just amazing, and most are optional accessories with other machines. I don't foresee needing to find any other feet. It sews like a dream - the stitch quality really is perfect. I like that when you bring up the stitch pattern on the screen you can change the tension, length and width all from the same area. The only thing that I thought was odd was where the adjusting screw is to balance some of the pattern stitches if they need to be opened up or closed more (it's on the BOTTOM of the machine). Why that got put there makes no sense, but it is what it is. At least you have the ability to correct a pattern if it needs to be changed on certain fabrics. Once you know how the function buttons work and what they control the rest is easy. The stitch patterns included have a wide range of uses. Not sure why there is a Russian alphabet?, but I knew ahead of time that I'll never use all of the stitches on this machine, but there are so many that I will! I'm going to purchase a carry case for this machine. The cover is nice, but it won't protect the machine if you intend to have this be portable for classes and such. The cover is fine if you have a place at home to leave your machine set up and have it stay there. Use a surge protector with this machine and that should help to protect the computer board. This machine feels "solid." A real plus for me is the amount of room that is given for your hands to work in front and to the left of the needle. I don't feel like I'm working off the edge of a cliff. I haven't even used the extension table yet, but I know it will be wonderful for quilting. I really like that the stitches I'll use most have their own buttons. The needle threader is basic, but it works well. If you are sewing with a finer needle you'll need to thread the machine by hand or you'll damage the threader. I love to sew and there have been some amazing things happening in the world of sewing these past few years! I'm not ready to spend thousands of dollars on a sewing machine (just not into machine embroidery), but this Singer has features that are usually found in the more expensive machines. The thread cutter is wonderful! As noted before: use a good quality thread, a class 15J bobbin and Singer needles. Why specific needles? The scarf on a machine's needle is meant to work with the hook on the machine's shuttle, so it's best to use the needle that has a scarf engineered to work with your machine's shuttle hook. If you do use other needles then listen very carefully for the sound of a metal "click" - if you hear that sound then change your needle immediately because those needles will damage your machine. I put the extra presser feet and foot holder that were included with the machine in a separate small plastic case since those pieces are designed to work together. It just saves having to second guess myself later trying to remember which foot goes on what holder. Thanks, Amazon! Again your delivery service is outstanding. My machine arrived in less than 24 hours. Amazing! One of the reviewers of this machine was upset about having some of the presser feet be clear plastic. I wouldn't worry about them. I've got an old Singer from the late 60s/early 70s that has some clear plastic feet and they have lasted all of these years and remain in like new condition. There are times when having a clear foot is an advantage to your field of vision. There a few clear plastic presser feet, but they are marked with red measuring lines and would probably be more difficult to see if they were marked on metal. They're just fine. I'm really happy with this machine. It's more than I had anticipated it would be. Machines like this will help to make Singer more competitive in the sewing market again. I have a new grandson to sew for and I love the little patterns for the plane, car and the boat. To be able to combine those little patterns with words is going to be even more fun! I read all of the reviews on this machine - good and bad before I decided to buy one for myself. I know from experience (I was trained at Pfaff back in the 80s) that 99% of all sewing problems are directly related to the needle (damaged, wrong size or style), thread (old thread, get rid of the cheap thread!!, rethread the machine from the beginning with the presser foot UP and try again), the machine needs to be cleaned, or operator error. Don't get mad at the machine if all of a sudden you've got loopy stitches, check your threading and your needle. Learn to figure out what's wrong before you automatically assume that the machine is "broken" or "doesn't work." Your machine can't talk and doesn't have any other way of telling you that something is wrong. This is a really nice machine and I'm happy with what I've seen so far. I do believe this machine is better suited to someone who has more sewing experience than someone who is just beginning. I think this machine could be overwhelming to someone just learning to sew. 4/18 - I suggest that you purchase the Dritz or Brother 1/4" patchwork foot which has a wider footprint for these wider feed dogs. The foot that is included with this one is too narrow to be as effective as it should be. I swapped it out last night to see if the foot I use with another machine was compatible and it worked so much better. I also just moved the straight stitch pattern to 5.5 on the width setting using the basic presser foot and that worked perfectly fine, too. The feed dogs on this machine are wider to accomodate the 7mm width stitches, and the straight stitch foot that was included should have had a wider "footprint." It's a minor thing considering you can just keep the regular presser foot on and move the needle over a bit. Hold the thread tails or sew on a waste square first and you won't have a bit of trouble. (I keep a little box of 3" square note papers for phone messages right by my sewing machine for this purpose so I don't waste fabric!)
