Customer Reviews for Singer - 7285Q Patchwork Sewing and Quilting Machine - White

Used to make repairs on clothing and facemasks! It's very easy to use and straightforward but also has the bells and whistles for more intensive projects! My current project being a quilt for my brand new nephew, it is making all that detail work super easy! Definitely would recommend for newer sewers who are looking to start small but up their project intensity as they learn! I also really like it for the noise level, I grew up with a 20+ year old Kenmore that ROARED when it was operating so this was a pleasant change! Pros: - clear instructions - easy to use, thread, wind bobbin, set stitches and change settings - comes with lots of accessories! - relatively quiet operation Con: - diagrams of feet in manual don't look like ones I actually got so it took some investigating - I wish the light on the machine had a slightly broader range like 2 inches wider would be perfect. I want to qualify that by saying that if you're not sitting in a darker room, it isn't a problem, but the light in my house is not great.

I recently started quilting and needed a machine with an extension table. I also did not want to break the bank since I'm really just beginning this hobby. This machine is perfect for where I am at right now. The extension table and included hopping presser foot are perfect for free motion quilting. The auto up/down needle position is a new feature for me and it very helpful. I also like the varied speed feature and the ability to see without the foot pedal. I like all the stitch options though I have only tried out a couple. Great machine for the price!

I purchased this machine because I am quilt maker and it has all of the features needed for my projects. So far I love it! It took me a while to understand the needle threader but when I did it is perfect! I am still learning about all the the other features, but it sews like a dream.

I recommend the Patchwork because with its variable speeds it is easy to use, has lots of stitch choices, and is quiet. The manual is well written and is illustrated. I enjoy sewing on my Patchwork.

DON'T buy this machine!

I have been sewing for over 50 years. I bought this machine as it is lightweight and portable to to carry to my sewing group. I have had it for less than a year and it just "stopped" sewing with a code of C4 - I took the bobbin case apart as instructed and it still did not work. I called Singer and they wanted me to take it to a repair place hours away. It would cost me more in the end than what I paid for the machine. How sad that a machine lasts less than a year. Well it taught me a lesson - stay away from Singer.

Connie, sorry you are having issues with your machine. We do have 2 warranty centers in NY state. Under the terms of the manufacturer warranty Singer will cover the parts and labor to have the machine serviced. All warranty repairs require a copy of the purchase receipt. If you need to ship the machine to Oneida this would be your only out of pocket expense. Singer will cover the return shipping and the cost of the actual repair.

I would NOT buy this machine again

I am a quilter and this machine does not do well with corners, and bidding. There is a bad knock in it and the repairman can not fine out what is knocking. And singer would not do anything . So no I will not buy it again. Everything is made out of plastic.

Pete, we are sorry that you are having issues with your 7285Q. When doing corners you may find it helpful to engage the needle down feature so the machine will stop with the needle in the fabric. This would make it easier to pivot. We have a warranty center in Florence. Is this where you took the machine for service? The covers for the machine are made of material similar to that used in safety helmets. The machine frame is cast aluminum. Several of our vendors show a photo of this machine with covers removed.
