SINGER® Quantum Stylist 9985 Computerized Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit

This machine compares very favorably with the current Bernina 550, for a fraction of the price. Singer's touch screen is superior, as it is not only a color screen -- theirs isn't -- it is much clearer. There is no comparison in terms of the appearance of the two machines. This Singer is flat out gorgeous in person, and it's purple. Singer has really knocked it out of the park in terms of presentation with this one. The photos here do not begin to do it justice. I literally gasped when I pulled it out of the box. I do miss having a knee lifter on this machine, which my Singer 580 embroidery ma

I started out this little venture by getting a Singer 222K with as many feet, accessories, pieces, parts and manuals I could find. This little machine sewed beautifully, and became my favorite. After a MANY projects I had an additional machine ( Spartan 192) that I'd put the attachment or foot I needed at the time. Then a Singer 99 for the heaver stuff. (3 machines + a Imagine serger) REALLY? Yes really!I played with the Singer 160th machine and liked the buttons and it was black. Basically a needle attached to a computer. NICE. The sewing room looked like a ancient futuristic museum of functi

When my Singer Stylist died a few months ago, I decided to upgrade to something a little nicer. After weeks of shopping and poring over reviews, I narrowed it down to Singer's Quantum Stylist Touch, and a slightly cheaper Project Runway model by Brother. In the end, the Quantum Stylist had more of the features I wanted, so I took the plunge and ordered it. I'm so glad I did!- Pros -* It's quiet. And I mean whisper quiet! As long as you're sewing a straight stitch and going slowly, the motor makes almost no sound. When you speed up, it gets louder, but it's still much quieter than any of my pre

I had a Singer Heavy Duty for maybe 15 years. It finally kept breaking the thread, making terrible noises etc, so I retired it. I'm very happy with my upgrade. Smooth, easy to use, and for the first time ever - I have been able to use the automatic needle threader that comes on the machine! This is my 3rd Singer machine with a needle threader, and this is the only one I've ever used that works - the first time! The electronics are not as complicated as I feared. I keep the manual close at this point, but I've barely had to reference it. I turned off the beeping in settings - that was annoying.

I have only had the machine a few days but I am doing my best to put it through all the paces to get used to it quickly.I love the touch panel. It's easy to figure out with out even referring to the instruction manual.I love the professional look of all the decorative stitches.This is my first experience with all the fun new features like up/down needle, auto thread cutting, and speed control, not to mention there is no need to pull up the bobbin thread! Small detail but I really like that! And I didn't think I'd really care much for the start/stop button since I'm used to the foot control but

Had to send the Singer Quantum Stylist 9985 to warranty service for issues that showed up shortly after my wife began using the machine that arrived 1 April 2020.My wife had problems with the machine locking up and breaking needles shortly after she began using it. This was her first sewing machine, but she had a very experienced tutor teaching her from the beginning.I was able to contact Singer Customer Care going through the link on Amazon for this Sewing Machine. After several emails and pictures, I was told that "The timing is about to go out on your machine and the machine will need to ha

I was skeptical about buying a Singer because everyone I have talked to in the past 5 or so years who sees often has said the quality isn't what it used to be. I had a Brother for the past 15 or so years that has been wonderful. The tension just went out on it and I don't do tension very well so I decided to look for something new. I wanted embroidery and sewing but I couldn't find a reasonable priced machine that had auto tension and auto threading too so I looked at what mattered most. The auto tension won. I wouldn't call this auto threading at all. It does the tension well. It sees smoothl

I have used this machine now for almost 10 years. Ten years of heavy sewing, I sew at least an hour a day and make a lot of different things: blinds, quilts, bags (a lot of quilted bags) and clothing. With regular maintenance, cleaning out the bobbin area after heavy sewing, changing the needles, this thing has been great. Singer gets a bad rap from the fans of more expensive sewing machines but I can say this performs really well, especially for the price. I have updated my machine to a more heavy duty machine built more speficially for bag making and free motion quilting but this has remaine
