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!

I bought two for my two Granddaughters…..one has had it longer and immediately starting making all kinds of make up bags with zipper, lining some then made a super cute jacket from a quilt. The other one is takin lessons but thrilled with the machine.

Patchwork experiences

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!!

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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!!!

I received a used and dirty machine. I even found an unknown hair in the machine. Never trusting singer ever again.
