[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since the day I got my machine I had issues. It would skip stitches in folds of just cotton, this is a quilt machine after all!!!! And now 6 months into my machine as I was trying to accept it as is m, I am now facing electrical issues it just keeps on sewing after I let the pedal go. What a nightmare so much for the warranty, nearest center is 460 miles away! Now I have to spend money on shipping it there and getting it back to me. Very disappointed with my purchase. Looks like singer doesn’t match up to its name anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As a newbie quilter I treated myself to a new Singer Patchwork Plus machine. It has many of the features that will be of benefit for all my quilting requirements. It was great value for a good machine, with on exception. The walking foot does not have a guide that extends far enough forward to be of any value. A very poor selection of a walking foot to be included with a machine that is for quilting. I already have purchased a new walking foot and am awaiting its arrival. Thankfully the new foot was not expensive.
This is a lot of sewing machine for the price - great value! I find it easy to understand (print out the manual!) and it sews beautifully. I've played around quite a bit with a variety of stitches and feet, and am so pleased. The motor is reasonably quiet and runs smoothly. The foot pedal is sensitive enough to start and stop with ease, but not so sensitive that it takes off on you or tires out your leg. The many accessories included are a bargain. My greatest challenge has been putting on the walking foot; it's a tight fit, but once it's on, it works great. I have also taken this machine to a class at my local quilting shop and found it to be very portable. Highly recommended.
I just started using my sewing machine and it amazing! I haven’t done much on it yet but learning to use it will come slowly.. I will give another review in 30 days.
