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 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.

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 had bought this machine about 2 months ago now. and I absolutely love love love it. Runs quiet, and absolute perfect stitches every time. Its very nice to be able to go to your machine, turn it on push a button and sew til your hearts content. Singer, you knocked it out of the ball park with this machine. Love all the 600 stitches, all the things that you can change on the stitches to make whatever you are sewing come out so perfect. From elongation to mirror imaging. Plus love love love the thread cutter in this machine. sure cuts down on wasted thread. Easy needle threader as well. Plus plus plus... also love the automatic reverse sew as well. No more ooops I forgot to back stitch to lock the seams. Singer I think you had nailed everything into this machine that people could ever want. Very easy to learn to operate this machine. Everything has a learning curve to it. But for the most part I found it to be very easy. I think and feel that some people that have given bad remarks on this machine was probably owner errors. Either didn't have machine threaded right, for the thread does have to go through the proper channels for it to sew perfect seams. Others may have fooled around with the tensions and things and did not put it back to the correct settings. Or turn machine off then on again to reset it back. Or did not use the correct foot that it told you to use. For it tells you what foot to use with all the stitches on this machine. Which is a big plus if you are new to sewing. I personally have been sewing quite a few years now and love the hobby. I've made everything from clothing to quilts to you name it. I have had Singer machines most of my life. I did have 1 brother machine that someone gave me. That machine didn't last me even a year. I will say I will never ever buy a Brother machine, for they just do not hold up like these Singers will. I also have a Singer CE 200 embroidery machine that is really close to 20 years old now and that machine is still pumping out the embroidery for me like crazy. I bought this machine for the brother machine was way too costly to fix so I bought me another singer machine cuz I know these machines will last a very long time if you keep the machine cleaned out and I always when cleaning it I oil under the bobbin case in the hole that's there. Easy easy takes only about 5 to 10 minutes to clean it out oil and back to sewing. I take my machines in about once a year or so for a tuneup and ready to go again for a year or so. I have never had anything major go wrong with any of my Singer sewing machines. And I can tell you for a fact that I have put my machines through plenty of vigorous tests by sewing through very thick seams, several layers of fabric at one time, and I embroider on my CE 200 machine weekly. so with that said as you can tell I seriously and strongly recommend the Singer machines from the beginners to the most advanced sewers out there. You can't go wrong and these people stand behind their machines. Thank you for all your time. I sincerely hope that this review has helped in some way to put your mind at ease and to purchase a Singer machine. You'll be happy you did.

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!)

I read review after review regarding the 9960 before finally going with amazon. amazon had the best price of anyone. I read where this machine retailed for over $800. Packaging was great. I could tell my machine was brand spanking new!!! I never thought I'd buy a sewing machine online. I was taking a chance because I really want this sewing machine to last me a long time. I have been hung up on brother for 5 years but I really am glad I went with a Singer. I know for a fact other brands with the same features as the QUantum Stylist 9960 sell for at least $800 and up. Then you'd still have to purchase some of the extra stuff like extension table, narrow hem foot, walking foot, etc. I could NOT BELIEVE all the extras that came with the machine. I'd like to tell you a few things I've come not to be so happy with after having had it for about 2 weeks now.First of all, I don't like the fact thats there's no top thread tension wheel to adjust like on every other machine I've had (not embroidery machines). The motor sews so quietly andnthenthread cutter is amazing. It does not have a RIGHT NEEDLE position, only left and center. Bummer. It winds an awesome tight bobbin. I wish that the bobbin winding was like that on my old machine where you don't have to thread the hole on the empty bobbin, you just stick the bobbin on and wrap the end of you thread a few times then go.Sewing in straight stitch mode is a dream. Tension wise, looks great. BUT....when I stitch any decorative stitches,even zig zag, the tension seems to be off. I can see the top there'd coming through on the back. I don't know if I should send it back or not.I don't like the big bulky 1/4" foot. It's weird. I haven't used the buttonhole foot or tried to do any free motion yet. I'm still debating on returning it for another machine. The manual is well written. It says the tension is factory set. I miss the slide off cover for easy access to the bobbin casing. You will have to take out screws to get to it. I don't like my bobbin cover it self. It comes off easy and should fit on more snugly, it's too loose. My needle threader does not work. I have to manually thread it. The hook on the threader does not come into the eye of the needle far enough to grab the thread. I have to give it a little push everytime to make it work. I shouldn't have to do that. My main concern is the tension being off when sewing anything other than the straight stitches.Overall I love the machine for the price. Theres just a handful of things I could pick on, and almost enough to get them to send me another one before I wait any longer. I'll make my mind up by the weekend.I WOULD buy this machine again and recommend it to everyone. Even with the things I've mentioned I don't like, it's still worth the money, the things are not to terrible and I love to sew on it. If I can get the tension to be perfect then I can live with the other stuff.I will post another review to update this when I've tried to get my problems addresses and ultimately hopefully resolved.

I can't say enough good things about the automatic thread cutter that this machine has. That was one of the primary reasons I chose this model -- and I do not regret it!You push one button and it cuts both the top thread and the bobbin thread and leaves about a one inch length left on your fabric. The amount of time this saves is incredible! You don't even realize it until you are at the machine working. Finish your seam, push the button, move on to the next seam. No hunting around for scissors, pulling thread out, wasting thread, etc. If you are doing patchwork or quilting this is a godsend. That feature alone is worth the purchase price of the machine.The second reason I chose this machine is because it does a great job sewing over thick fabrics. I sew a lot of denim and I often use faux leather. I have not had a problem sewing through many thick layers. It plows through them like a dream.For the bags pictured above, I used a Schmetz #90 needle with no problems. On my old Brother machine, I would break about one needle per every 2-3 bags I made and that was getting annoying. I have not broken a single needle on this machine, and I've made dozens of bags. If you screw up and accidentally sew over the metal part of a zipper or a pin, for example, the machine just stops. It does not break the needle.Another feature I really like is that the machine stops with the needle in the down position. If you have done much sewing, you know that in older machines, it's a crap shoot whether or not the needle is in the up position, down position, or somewhere in between when you top. And when it is up you risk your fabric being pulled askew and your seams being crooked. But when it is down, everything stays in place. This feature has improved the quality of my sewing immensely. I would add, that once you push the thread cutter button, it raises the needle. There is also a button to push to raise or lower it when you want to.The decorative stitches work well and are lots of fun. I like that you just push a button to select a zigzag or a straight stitch. You don't have to turn any knobs or anything. Super easy.The power cord and the foot pedal are separate, so you can put one behind the table and one in front without having a big tangled mess.I am very pleased with this purchase. It has made sewing much easier and more fun for me. If you are an experienced sewist, you will have no problem learning to use it. I watched a couple of brief YouTube videos and learned about everything I couldn't figure out on my own. This is the first Singer sewing machine I have every owned and I like it. My previous ones were Kenmore and Brother.Highly recommended.

So far I absolutely love this machine! I'm a beginner and have been trying to teach myself to sew on my mom's old Singer Slant-O-Matic from the 1960s (which is a great machine and still runs fine, but there are so many little quirks about getting it to stitch correctly that it's frustrating to a beginner). After using the Quantum Stylist for only a few minutes I was amazed at how easy sewing can actually be! As other commenters have mentioned, this machine also comes with a white, hard-plastic dust cover (with a compartment where you can keep the manual) and a few other extras Amazon didn't list. With all the features this machine comes with, this price is a bargain. The automatic needle threader works great, but it's not "automatic" in the sense that it's computerized; it's just a manual lever you pull down that pokes a pin through the eye of the needle and grabs the thread to pull it through. It took me a few tries at first but once I figured out how it worked, I get the needle threaded every time (just have to make sure the pin is all the way through the eye of the needle). Also, the automatic thread cutter (which is a computerized button) is really convenient, but will only cut both top and bobbin threads when the needle is in the "center" position. If the needle is to the left or right, the thread cutter will only cut the bobbin thread. But to make up for this, there is a manual thread cutter on the side, so you still don't have to search for your scissors when finishing a seam. My machine arrived Friday and I've already completed several sewing projects in the last 4 days with different thicknesses of fabric. One of my projects included 2 layers of cotton fabric, 1 layer of medium-weight interfacing, and 1 layer of batting and the machine sewed the seams smoothly and without issue (this was using a universal, regular point, 90/14 Singer needle and the walking foot that came with the machine). Another plus is that the motor is quiet. The buttons make a loudish beep when pressed, but the manual shows you how you can turn that beeping off.I know I've only owned the machine for 4 days, but it seems to be made well so I hope to get many years out of it. If you decide to buy this, I encourage you to read the manual before using! I read a lot of the comments on here before I bought, and after buying I noticed that a lot of "problems" people reported were answered in the manual. Don't be a dude, just read the instructions! :)

I am just learning to quilt and, having not acquired the basic skill before, had to first learn to sew. I borrowed a friend's Husqvana 445 Lily and after a two months of fiddling around and making a few simple bookmarks, grew to love my new art and craft, although the machine was, in retrospect, very difficult to use. I realized I needed to buy my own machine. Retired, I'm on a limited income and tight budget, so price was the most important criteria. Yet, I wanted my machine to have all the features that I had grown to like on the Husqvana. And these much to my surprise, the Singer 9960 Quantum, has! And then some.When "Carl" (as a creative writer, I tend to name my inanimate objects) arrived last week, it took an afternoon to unpack him and figure out his basic functions--bobbin winding, threading, and changing foots. I spent the evening reading the instruction manual word-for-word, despite its many typos, grammatical, and syntax errors. Note that this machine is manufactured in Taiwan, despite the fact that Singer is based in Carlisle, PA. This, however, is no excuse for the really bad, sometimes hard to understand,technical writing that pervades the manual. Despite this, the very next day, I was making professional-looking bookmarks, quilting them with the walking foot that was included in the myriad host of accessories that that would have had to been purchased separately for any other machine. These included a stitch-in-the-ditch foot and 10+ others that I am gradually learning to use. Not only is there a wealth of other tools and accessories (extra bobbins and needles!), but this computerized machine has well over 600 stitch combinations, if you factor in variable stitch width and length adjustments. Actually, this machine has it all, and then some! It is going to take three lifetimes to figure it all out.What I love best about "Carl" is the automatic thread cutterp-just a push of a button when you're done sewing a seam--which saves thread! Even better than that, I love his ease of sewing. I hardly have to guide the fabric; the feed dogs smoothly and evenly "pull" the fabric along in a straight line for you. The LCD display is large and easy to read, and the simplicity of the computer selection buttons is "to die for" on all the other machines I researched. The large table attachment and free-arm are the crowing touches to a machine that can be used for just about any sewing project, whether it be quilting, clothes making, embroidery, darning, or, even, come to find out, light upholstery (a cording foot is also included).My only complaint, besides the poorly written manual, which lowers what would otherwise be a 5-star rating, is that the automatic threader is very difficult, almost impossible to use. Which is a bummer because with my aging eyesight, I really wanted this feature--a charged option for other machines--and am very disappointed that I still have to manually thread the needle. Maybe someday I'll figure it out. Or I'll find another 9960 owner who has mastered it and can teach me.In the meantime, this sleek, well-made sewing machine is a reliable, sturdy workhorse, well work the modest price. It is, pardon the sewing pun, three cuts above all the others in its price range. One will not, could not go wrong with it.

Très satisfaite et facile à utiliser

It is beginner friendly and computerised came with all the accessories .
