I am a brand new sewer who bought this machine to learn how to quilt. Yes, I love a good challenge. That being said, I'm in love with this machine! I find it very user friendly and so far, I have been very pleased with the two quilting blocks that I've already created.
I am almost 79 and I just bought my Singer 7285Q to supplement the machine I purchased a year after college. I'm not a quilter, but the "Patchwork" incorporatse all the advancements I've been admiring over the years. I love, as well as thoroughly appreciate, the conveniences. And the range of adjustability in the specialty stitches makes it much easier to customize my projects. I am still getting used to a new angle for lifting the presser foot and to having a backup stitch which behaves differently. But, I'm not too old to learn - or to have a great 21st Century Singer !
Needle Threader does not work. I've tried repeatedly and am using videos online - it just doesn't work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
