Easy to Sew and Use
on February 14, 2020
Posted by: Rachel
from Warsaw, Indiana
I have sewn many projects on my machine. I love this sewing machine. I did add a titanium needle to machine. Very easy to thread. I have also practiced free motion quilting on this machine. I have had the machine over a year. I bought this machine because I wanted the features on the $1,000 or more machines but not the price tag. My sister tried out my sewing machine and bought one also.

Machine motor not good

I biught this machine for my business of making small things like bags, and quilted items. This is the second machine I have had in 6 months, and both times the motor went on it. It has had to be serviced twice, and it never stitched properly. For such an expensive machine, and the name. i expect better quality. Very disappointed

This is my 3rd sewing machine and I tried 7 other sewing machines including brands like Pfaff, Janome, Brothers and I have to say for the price range this is my favorite. i stitched out all 170 utility, decorative and heirloom stitches. Haven't try the button holes yet. They all look great except for stitch # 42 (boat), # 47 (train) and # 44 (house). Stitch # 42 was quite off, while # 47 & 44 was just a little bit off. I believe there is a spot underneath the sewing machine that I can adjust if the stitches are off. Other than that this machine sew beautifully. I mostly sewn on light fabric, so I am yet to find out how it does on heavy fabric. The touch screen is super easy to use and the best part is when I adjust stitch length and width I can see the changes on the screen real time. I really like this feature as it gives me a visual what the stitch will actually looks like. One down side is I cannot adjust the brightness of the touch screen. During the day the screen brightness is not as big of a problem but when I am sewing at night with less light, the screen was so bright that I start seeing a halo after staring at it for a while. Another thing I love about this machine is the weight. I have sewn on some lighter machines in the past. For the lighter weight machine when I sew on high speed the entire machine start jumping and trembling. However I have no problem with this machine at all. Mind you even at top speed this machine does not sew that fast compared to other ones. Lastly I wish that there are more room underneath the bobbin case for me to clean with my brushes like other sewing machines. When you open the bottom plate where the bobbin sits it is surrounded by an enclosed metal frame. There's pros and cons to that. Pro: you know this is a solid machine. Con: you cannot clean out any lint that is trapped underneath the bobbin case. Over all this is a great machine for beginners and experience sewers. For the price range you are getting an excellent machine that hopefully will inspire many fun projects.

9985 Singer Quantum Stylist Touch

I've had other Singer's and Janome's....but this little machine does it all...it's quiet, love the thread trimmer and the built in threader. I have not used all the stitches since I just purchased it about 2 weeks ago. So far it has been easy to use and I am making a big size quilt top...the thread trimmer makes it so much easier and saves time and thread. I would am very satisfied with this machine.

I bought this as a backup sewing machine for my Pfaff Performance 5.0. The Pfaff was only a month old and had 2 problems. I created one problem and another was due to manufacture. The Singer is about $500 while the Pfaff is $2750. Naturally the much more expensive sewing machine is better but I've been using the Singer 9985 now for the past month and find no significant faults with it. The start of a stitch pattern will often have a few tangled threads at the beginning but that can be eliminated if you put tension on the upper thread. Other than that, the Singer is an exceptional machine for the price. The Singer 9985 will do almost everything the Pfaff can do. The stitch is a little better on the Pfaff but that would seldom be an issue of concern. You cannot buy a Pfaff on the Internet sites like a Singer. So the Singer is has a more economical and competitive price. The Pfaff can only be obtained from the few authorized dealers where support is better but the price is naturally higher. Phone support for the Singer was as good as with a Pfaff. Local personal support from a dealer is less likely with a Singer since it was bought online. In Texas, there is only one place I can send the Singer for warrantee repair. There are several places for non-warrantee repair. The repair of a Pfaff is not much better and you must go through the dealer. Essentially, you need a backup sewing machine if you use it all the time. A typical repair will take 1 to 3 months. In my case it has served me best to have a Pfaff for my 1st machine and a Singer for backup. I don't see anything wrong with owning 2 Singer sewing machines if you can do without the direct personal support of a local dealer. I am not aware of any local dealers who carry the Singer 9985 in stock. Once again, I really like the Singer 9985. I will keep it.

Great Buy...

I have more than one Singer machine, very loyal to the brand. I received this model, took it out of the box and started making projects, some that I haven't tackled before, No problem with it, I read some of the reviews while shopping around, and almost had second thoughts about buying, but glad I went with my gut feeling and with my previews experience with the brand, Great Buy, you will get your moneys worth, I recommend, that like with anything else, take the time to read the manual and get to know your new machine and enjoy the experience.

Nice machine, but warranty work can be an issue.

Overall, I really love this machine. It is easy to use and very quite for those of us that like to sew late a night. ;) My needle position was off to the left of the center mark. When I lined up with the 1/2" seam mark it sews a 5/8" seam allowance. Singer has ZERO warranty repair centers in the Denver area, so I had to pay to get it repaired locally. You may want to search for a local Singer warranty repair center and call them before you purchase a Singer machine. Otherwise, you'll be required to pay for shipping cost and wait several weeks for your machine to be repaired. Sometimes these shipping cost add up to 50% of the price you paid for your new machine. That is why it is important to know these facts before making your purchase.

The Best Singer Sewing Machine Yet!
on March 31, 2015

This machine is my favorite singer yet. I have owned others but this quantum 9985 is by far my favorite. The stitch quality, ease of use, and touch screen are just some of the reasons I really like it. It is so quiet and well built, but most of all, I like the way it stitches....Plus there are numerous decorative stitches that stitch out beautifully. Lots of extra feet too! Love it!!!
