Sandwiches fabric between lower plate and foot to ensure perfect buttonholes on multiple layers of fabric.

7mm Stitch Width
Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7mm creating attractive satin and decorative stitches.

Programmable Needle Up/Down
The needle can be programmed to stop in the highest position when your foot is lifted from the controller, making it easier to remove fabric from the machine or program the needle to stop in the down position, which is ideal for pivoting, appliquéing or quilting.

One-Touch Electronic Automatic Thread Cutter
Press the thread cutter button and the machine automatically trims threads when you are done sewing.

Electronic Auto Pilot
Provides complete control over sewing speed for any project type.

Adjustable Stitch Length and Width
Automatic settings for length can be overridden to personalize length and width choice.

Six-Second Threading
Threading the machine is so easy that you can have the entire machine threaded, from the spool to the needle’s eye, in just six seconds.

Automatic Locking Stitch Function

Optimal Stitch Settings
Optimal settings for length and width are automatically set when choosing a stitch. These settings can be overridden to personalize the stitch pattern.

Mirror Imaging and Elongation Function
With just a touch of a button select stitches can be mirror imaged, adding even more stitch variety. Select the elongation button and a variety of stitches can be made two to five times longer.

Automatic Tension
This system ensures stable stitch quality, whatever type of fabric is being sewn. The tension can be adjusted using the tension adjustment buttons, if desired.

Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter
The presser foot lifter has two heights. The second offers more clearance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under the presser foot.

Box Feed
The feed dogs move in a box motion ensuring perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process.

Start/Stop Button
Unplug the foot control, press the start button and the machine sews. You are still in complete control over the speed--just slide the speed limiting control to the desired speed.

Drop Feed
Lower the feed dogs for free-motion embroidery, monograms and for sewing buttons.

On-Board Storage
The accessories are conveniently stored in the removable sewing table, providing easy access to accessories.

Snap-On Presser Feet
Easily change snap-on presser feet without use of a screwdriver.

A control system that senses when additional power is required to maintain speed through thick or changing fabric conditions. This feature is most useful when sewing through multiple (six to eight) layers of fabric.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm in love!! (Still in love, 5+ months later, too...), September 2, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
Okay, here's the thing. I've spent the last several years happily sewing along with my Huskystar E20 by Husqvarna. It's a basic machine, but it got the job done. Really, I was happy, but I had no idea what I was missing out on. When I was recently upgraded to this Singer Quantum Stylist machine, I was at first skeptical of the computerized side of it and slightly concerned it would be too much machine for me: a beginner seamstress.

When the machine arrived I couldn't wait to try it out, I opened it immediately and carefully read through the manual (which is surprisingly simple for a machine with so many features). I wound the bobbin and threaded the machine while reading the instructions on how to do so very carefully - it's just a tad different than your basic machine where the spool sits on top. Once I got all set up with some brown thread and a white dish towel to practice on, I slowly pushed down on the pedal and - WOW.

"It sews like magic!!!" I exclaimed,... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally in Love with My Singer Quantum 9960!, March 4, 2012
This review is from: SINGER 9960 Quantum Stylist 600-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine (Misc.)
First off, let me say that I would call myself an intermediate sewer. I took Clothing I and II in high school and had learned on a Bernina, which I absolutely loved, but can not afford. I then purchased a Kenmore sewing machine, a Brother sewing machine and also a lower end Singer sewing machine that don't come anywhere close to this Singer Quantum Machine. It sews so smoothly and I love that I don't have to use the foot pedal. I also love how I can change the speed that I am sewing and that it stitches faster than the other machines I had. I love that the machine will actually cut the thread and save me lots of thread and makes my life so much easier, especially when I am quilting. I have tried many of the stitches and they look amazing. I loved that this machine is computerized. It is so much quieter this way and I don't have to fidget with a knob that seems like it will break at any moment. I love that is comes with so many different feet and that is has so many stitches built in... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars ok but not great, June 17, 2011
This review is from: SINGER 9960 Quantum Stylist 600-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine (Misc.)
I bought this machine from another online retailer not amazon.
Their description said that they had the 2011 model which was jam free.
Earlier version (2010) were having too many problems jamming.

The machine is quiet and runs smooth. It does have the 600 stitches but some
especially the decorative don't come out so great (which is understandable)
unless you use stabilizer and embroidery thread. And must be sewn on thicker fabrics to get best results.

The extension table is a plus, you must remove the free arm.
The thread cutter works extremely well. The screen is bight and easy to use. The zigzag stitch is beautiful.

I tried sewing denim and that is where the machine did not performed so well. It hesitate when going through
denim and in order to avoid some of it you must use a denim needle. The auto tension is another function which is noted on other
reviews that does not work unless you are using the preset... Read more
