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.

The Best Singer Sewing Machine Yet!

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!!!

I received this machine 3 weeks ago, although I was concerned with the lack of outer shipping box it arrived in good condition.
I was considering the QS9960 but the touchscreen sold me on the QS9985.
I had been using a Commercial Grade Singer, and moving from that to the QS9985 is like going from a Kia Rio to a Cadillac Escalade!
So far it is smooth and quiet. The stitches are even and uniform, the thread cutter and needle threader work when the machine is threaded correctly, not so much when it is not.
So far I have made a few masks, a pair of jeans, a couple of t-shirts without any issues. It reminds me of when my Singer Touchtronic 2000 was new, except quieter. I hope this is the last sewing machine I will own. I haven't been so excited to sew in years.

The only thing I could do without is the pink face plates, and for the price and quality of the machine, it should have come with a case, not a plastic dust cover.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine for its intended use

This is a fantastic machine for garment sewing and crafts. The stitch quality is good, and the machine is very easy to use. I sew a lot of doll clothes, and it is fantastic for that purpose. It sews knits fabulously.
I do not use this machine for anything heavier than medium weight fabric.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this machine!! Now my favorite. Thread cutter is extra quite. Love the design of bobbin casing. So nice not to have to pull thread up. I am very partial to Singers for their easy of use and durability.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
