Customer Reviews for Singer Quantum Stylist 600-Stitch Sewing Machine

My machine is only about 7 months and it is not cutting the thread and it is making a lot of unpleasant noise (which was not there before). I don't use it much so it is very disappointing. I've cleaned it and nothing has changed.

Be sure to read the manual, even if you are an experienced seamstress. There are nuances to this machine.

Excellent sewing machine for quilting. Quiet, awesome features, and sewing designs. Very happy I purchased it!!

Use this for quilting. I love it! Got this as a gift about 7 years and still going strong! Thread cutter, speed control and stitch options work great. I made a Dresden plate quilt once and it was beautiful for applique!!

this is not a very good machine and I would never buy another one

When shopping for a new sewing machine, we couldn't find anything that came close to the Singer 9960 for the amount of features at this price. 600 built in stitches with 5 different lettering fonts in upper and lowercase? Built in scissors? Automatic tensioning? 18 included feet? A quilting table AND a hard storage cover? WOW! We've had this machine for about a month now and love it more every time we use it. The metal frame makes this machine very rigid and it sews multiple layers and goes over thick seams with ease. The computer is very user friendly and easy to learn & use with a large backlit screen and large keypad. I absolutely LOVE the little tack button that automatically locks the stitch at the beginning and end. The excellent LED lighting for my old eyeballs is appreciated. The whole machine is well laid out, very easy to use and quite attractive. It is made in Taiwan where they make very high quality tools and machinery. Is it perfect? No, but pretty close! You do have to manually bring up your bobbin thread with the 9960. If you've used another popular brand that starts with a B, the drop in bobbin that automatically picks up when you begin to sew will be missed until you train your brain to remember to do the simple procedure on the 9960 at each bobbin change. The built in bobbin thread cutter on brand B is also a nice little touch but picking up a pair of scissors to trim the bobbin thread hasn't been a dealbreaker. The final cherry on top was the excellent 48 instructional videos done by the the wonderful Sara at Sewing Mastery. We haven't hardly cracked the very well written manual after finding those. If you're where we were a month ago, agonizing over all the machine choices out there, just know this machine has exceeded our expectations.

I bought this machine when it first came out it wasn't that popular ar time haven't had no problems easy threading able to read the screen.

I cannot describe how much I LOVE this machine! It’s easy to use, it stitches so nicely. It’s very sturdy, and I hope it lasts another 25 years like my old Singer!

While the older model might have been a good sewing machine, this newer model is NOT. The auto start stop button never worked on it. The auto cutter causes the bobbin case to have a burr hence catching the thread on it making sewing impossible. Even the sewing machine shop could not fix it. Steer clear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome machine with a ton of features. Love the lettering capabilities.

I have this machine and have used it fir 2 years now . It is very user friendly and great for all types of users. I have used it several times to stitch in the ditch queen sized quilts.

I am very very pleased with this machine. The stitches are spot on. I look forward to years of creating.

I bought it almost a year ago and everything is still perfect as the first day I received it

It's a shame because when this machine runs, it is a joy to sew with. I like the fact that the needle stops in the down position, instead of up and it feels very stable making it easy to keep straight lines, very important in quilting. However I've had 2 issues, the first worked itself out, the machine would have constant alerts to re-thread machine once bobbin was 1/3 used. Now after about 8 months of use the start button won't work. Or should I say I get only one back-stitch when I press the start button. If I hold the start button I get continuous back-stitches. I disregarded all of the negative complaints about this machine because of the brand name. I was absolutely positive I would love it-and I would if it worked properly

Love my new machine. Bought it to take a sewing class. Now I'm hooked

Amazing Machine!!! Should have gotten one along time ago! Love it!

I love this machine! I have been sewing on Singer machines ever since I first used my grandmother's dearly loved treadle machine in the late 1940s. I last bought a Singer in the 1970s and it has served me well. The Quantum Stylist 9960 is perfect for my needs as I am in my 70s. I look forward to the self-threading and the softer sounds as well as all the easy aspects to which I still need to introduce myself.

It is easy to learn to use so far. Have not had it long enough to try to many of the beautiful stitches or the twin needle. I like that it is heavy enough not to slide on the table but I can still pick it up and move it! Looking forward to many years of service!

I bought this machine not too long ago. The tutorial video helps a ton. It is fairly easy to use and comes with so many hecking stitches, which I don't use all that often but enjoy the results when I do. I have not run into any problems with it and love the flip out of it!! My new machine has panned out so well, that I plan to buy another one for my niece's upcoming birthday as she really wants to get into sewing.

I love this sewing machine. I love the stored patterns that can be used by the push of a button. It runs much quieter than my previous machine. It comes with a dust cover and many different presser feet. I highly recommend this sewing machine. It is so easy to use and I am just a moderate sewer.

So sorry I ever bought a Singer. The selector buttons don’t all work, so I can’t select stitches with numbers ending in 1 or 6. The start/stop button makes the machine take one step backward and stop. The fabric sensor doesn’t recognize fabric with a sparkly surface, so it runs but won’t form stitches. I HATE my 9960 !!!I would expect the computer to last more than the first year. I don’t think I will ever trust Singer machines again and would NOT recommend.

I was a little scared of a computerized sewing machine because I didn't think I needed all those bells and whistles, but I absolutely love it! My original Singer that I got as a birthday gift in 1996 broke a few years ago and I haven't found a machine that I've liked as much since. This one **might** have it beat.

I love this machine. The stitching is beautiful and it can sew many layers. There are so many beautiful decorative stitches.

Poor poor design in bobbin area. Thin hooked metal piece won't allow the thread to come up. This happened after a bird's nest jam occured

I’ve had this machine for about 2 months and it is by far the best table machine over ever used, super easy to transport and move around.

I absolutely love my new sewing machine! It runs so smooth and has every foot you would need. Shipping was super fast and I am so happy to have it in my sewing room creating new things

After using high end sewing machines that made me lose my mojo, I am back to sewing with this wonderful machine.

it is exactly what i needed i dont have any sewing course but it is really easy with this machine.

My machine is wonderful! Have had it a month and no problems with anything. Sewing like a dream!

It’s really fun to learn this machine. Be patient there are a ton of functions
