I own an online Western Clothing Shop... and get custom orders frequently.
So you can imagine that my machines have to perform (sometimes) daily from morning to evening.
Once my Singer 9960 was ordered my Kenmore died the same day! (without even a warning)
About the Singer:
I love the extra features that I just did not have with my Kenmore.
One of them is the thread cutter! :) Love that! I have noticed that my bobbin thread lasts longer and that it saves me so much time when I am working piecing small pieces of lace together. I can just stitch and push cut even when I move my fabrics around to the middle of a garment! wonderful. So, I have no more tons of threads sticking out at the back!
You do not even have to pull the bobbin thread out to continue sewing. (when I used this function for the first time I noticed that the thread disappeared in the bobbin and thought "Oh no what a pain! do I have to pull that thread out every time I push cut?"
So I checked in the manual and was glad I did check.
Just push cut and keep sewing as you work.
This machine is very quiet... I can even hear my music in the background while sewing. Love that.
It is so heavy that it sits very secure on my table and does not bounce around at all.
What I also like is that you can actually use the manuscript and the pictures for embroidery mixed sat the same time.
Verses: only manuscript and only picture embroidery (that was my Kenmore)
The functions I still have to get used to...
My kenmore had all the stitch settings color coded so it was so easy to see on the display.
Just pick the stitch look at the color and set the right button that matches the color.
Versus the Singer: I have to go with increments of 5 stitches push the arrow to get to the stitch I need.
But there may be an easier way, just have not discovered that part yet.
I also like that the drop feed button is at the front.
So much easier to control and reach!
With my Kenmore it was at the back.
I love the stitch setting, you can choose a straight stitch and have an auto reverse with it as well...
it makes it as easy to start sewing and no more pushing the reverse button to lock your stitch.
I had done a lot of research before I ordered this machine.
1) I truly liked the price and I wanted an upgrade from my Kenmore.
2) It had to have a thread cutter
3) A Needle threader
(the needle threader works a little different than I am used to... yet it is very simple to work with)
4) It had to be silent
5) required a very fast speed
6) Thread spools had to be covered
Many people wrote very negative feedback about this machine (especially about errors after threading the machine) so I was a bit nervous to purchase it at first.
Threading this machine is really not that hard.
Just follow the numbers and the arrows. I have been using the machine now for about 3 weeks and I have not had an error show on the display yet.
My 17 year old also worked on it already and loves that it has a speed adjuster.
What I would also like to suggest is to go quickly through the manual before you try to immediately work on it, especially if you are new at computerized machines.
No need to memorize the whole manual at once... but it helps that certain terms and settings will already be familiar if you read before you start. It will save you a lot of headache later. The first 3 days I had the booklet next to the machine. Now I do not need it anymore.
I was in awe with all the accessories that came with this machine! Amazing.
Funny though that there is still one accessory that I really miss. That is the 1/4" seam foot.
Of all the feet included, that one is the one I miss and may have to order in due time.
I have not used the extended table yet - but love it and will use it soon since I still have a quilt that needs to get finished.
I already made a new garment on my Singer 9960 when it arrived the next day! I finished that garment in 4 hours. It was easy to do and I noticed that I was faster on this machine than on my old one. It was a very good purchase and great item for the price!
Many great features...(many I still have to discover)
Honestly...
My Kenmore will have to be serviced and undergo repair.
If the cost gets higher than $100.00 I will purchase a new machine and that one will most likely be another Singer 9960 just so I have the comfort of having 2 good machines and a serger to work on at the same time!
You will not be sorry when you buy this machine!
Update August 2015: both my wife and I have continued using this machine over the last year, and it continues to perform flawlessly. We find it very easy to set up, tear down and store. I would suggest a couple of good habits that will make your life easier. The first one, because this machine is electronically controlled I always use it in conjunction with a quality surge protector. Don't leave it plugged in while you're not using it . This will help protect the electronics from electrical spikes. The second suggestion is to get a storage container for the various removable feet and store them in such a way that they are labeled for easy identification. I found some cheap plastic boxes and the local sports store that are ordinarily used for fishing lures. They worked perfectly for all the removable feet. With each of the feet identified, it's easy to reference to the user manual when it suggests the type of foot you need to use for the type of stitch your selecting. Always use the correct needle for the weight of the thread and the type of material, and seat it fully when you install it. Also, never run the machine with the cleats up and the presser foot down unless there's material between them, as this will cause the cleats to abrade the bottom of the presser foot. If you happen to do this accidentally, don't worry about it. Just don't make a habit of it. And as my wife would say - "guide" but don't "force" the material.
I'm not a sewing expert, and I still find this machine to be very easy to use. I continue to be impressed by the multitude of stitches available on the unit. The User Guide that came with it is sufficient enough to let me know which foot, and what type of needle I need to be using in conjunction with the type of fabric and the type of stitch. So far the machine has been used on opaque-backed curtains, and for alterations using all types of material, jean-weight and lighter. It hasn't so much as snagged once. It is really easy to thread, but you might have to practice a couple of times to get it right. But after that it's a breeze to thread. The auto cutter is very handy. I also like the fact that it can tack at the beginning and end of your stitching. The range of automated controls, - width and length of stitch - are easy to set. Even if I haven't use the machine in a while, when I get it out and set it up, I quickly remember how the settings work. In comparison, I found my wife's old sewing machine to be difficult to use and baffling at all times. I never knew how to set up her old machine correctly, and constantly had problems with the stitching. And it was extremely expensive machine that weighed about a ton. All I can say is that the technology has come a long way. This new Singer Qantum is way cool.
One of the things that made me purchase this machine originally was the horsepower of the motor. It has not disappointed me. It moves easily through heavy weight material even at low speeds. My wife has a lot more experience in this area than I do, and she loves this machine.
UPDATE: Nov 2017. We're still using the QUANTUM 9960, and we still love this machine. So far... no problems. The more we use it, the more we've discovered that it is a very user-friendly and versatile machine that offers a lot of control over the stitching dynamics. It is awesome. You can electronically position the needle with precision when mending previously stitched materials. The overcast stitch is a godsend for repairs. Changing spools and bobbins is easy. It handlers all sorts of fabric and materials without straining. Hey... but here's a useful tip. Go through the user guide and identify all the presser-feet ahead of time, and organize them in storage for quick identification and retrieval when needed. I use a PLANO fishing lure box for this purpose and label each of the slots, because it is hard to figure out which foot is which from the drawings in the book. Anyway.... we've use the 9960 on projects, alterations, and much mending. There has been no hitch in the stitch. If this machine ever has a problem we will update you all.

This is the most expensive sewing machine I've ever used, but it is also undoubtably the best one. In my opinion the price is worth it.
Semplice da usare pur avendo un'infinità di funzioni. Ottimo affare.
J'ai trouvé la notice en français sur site Singer sans aucun problème ce qui rend son utilisation facile.
De plus les accessoires sont nombreux.
Elle fait peut de bruit.
Je recommande cette machine car à ce prix là qualité est au rendez vous. Merci
Musste sie leider zurückgeben.
Die Singer schnurrt wie ein Kätzchen und näht alles was man ihr unterlegt. Alles in allem ein Top-Gerät und damit 5 Sterne. Würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen.
Ein Lob auch an den Verkäufer. Die Maschine war sehr schnell da, und ein deutsches Handbuch wurde auf meine Anfrage auch super schnell nachgeliefert.
