Only works well for a few months
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: Frustrated Sewer
I bought this machine almost a year ago. It worked really well for my first few projects. However stitches started to loop out of the seams and it cannot seem to keep it's tension consistent. I have wasted a ton of thread trying to get the tension to work correctly for each different project, the longer I have the machine the worse it gets. Even if the tension works well for a while, than it starts leaving loops in the stitches.
Also this should not be advertised as a quilting machine. The opening is not big enough for any quilt larger than a baby size quilt.
Don't buy this machine. It would be worth spending more on something that has higher quality.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great sewing machine!

I purchased this machine to use as a spare. This is an amazing machine for its price, sews very nicely, has tithe needle up/down and stitch-fix features. It sews slippery microfiber stretch fabrics without any adjustments from the factory settings. Singer titanium point needles are also very helpful for this. My high end machine for whatever reason will not accommodate these particular fabrics, taking necessary adjustments into account. This machine sews very quietly and smoothly, is quite stable. Bobbin winding took some getting used to, there could be more and longer seam guide lines, and the single LED light is barely adequate. These issues are minor for a sewing machine that has turned out to be such a remarkable bargain.

ok..not great

My husband bought this for me for christmas. I currently have a singer quantum, and he felt I needed a second machine. This surely doesnt measure up to what the reviews say. I like to make rag quilts and the information stating the pressure foot will allow for bulky fabrics just isnt true. I am struggling to get the fabric under the foot. Also it seems to have a hard time feeding one piece of fabric to the next. I have to lift up the foot every time feeding another piece thru, making chain stitching difficult. This is ok for a beginner, but really not for the avid quilter. I will save my money and next time upgrade to a better machine.

This machine is versatile and easy to use. I bought it to make a raw-edge appliqué quilt for my granddaughter, and the pre-programmed stitch styles have been such a bonus... I also like that I have the flexibility to adjust stitch length and tension with the easy-to-use buttons on the machine. The pdf manual gives clear instructions, and the sewing table attachment makes quilting much easier, too. Great little machine and I'm very pleased with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Patchwork experiences

Verified Purchase:No
Bought this machine two months ago. I'm a professional seamstress with 40+ years of experience. First one broke after two days-could not change needle position horizontally. Returned to store, got a second Patchwork. Yesterday it stopped operating and flashed an error message E7. Nothing about it in the manual or on Singer website. Not a word. Packed it up today and returned to store. Bought a Brother. Singer was formerly a good choice. Not any longer.

Disappointed!

I purchased this 2 years ago. I failed to register the product, bad move on my part. I started using the machine in April 2020. It was amazing, until.....
The computer panel blew and no matter what stitch I chose it would only sew a zigzag stitch, the stitch I was using when it failed. Was told it would be better to buy another one than to get it fixed. From now on no computerized machines!!

I LOVE IT!!!!! bought an M3500 but discovered that i needed speed control for free motion, so i upgraded to the 7285Q. it works a treat, i'm telling you. it is smooth and quiet and i am thrilled with it. i can even sew just by pushing a button, amazing!!!
