singer special edition computerized sewing machine reviewAmazon customer reviews give this machine a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars.

There were very few negative comments, most of them were related to the poor instructions.

 

 

 

 

Cons

  • The “extra large working space” is to the left of the needle area, the space to the right is actually quite small which could be an issue with bulkier projects.
  • The instructions are a bit sketchy, beginners would struggle to understand some of the features.
  • It’s a bit noisy compared to the Brother PQ1500S High-SpeedQuilting and Sewing Machine.

Pros

  • The Singer Sewing Machine looks nice and sews a good straight stitch!
  • The storage drawer which sits at the end of the machine is a good size and conveniently located.
  • There are a lot of extra feet included which is not usually the case with a mid-range machine, you usually have to buy them as extra accessories.
  • I like the stitch elongation feature and the 6 automatic buttonholes.

  1. Wow…the Singer Special Edition Computerized sewing machine looks like a futuristic device. Its sophistication is amazing. I agree with you, someone already familiar with sewing machines will find greater value in all and each one of its features and functions. It has a great variety of accesories which makes the price even more reasonable. Great article!

  2. Does this machine have a wide clearance under the presser foot ( like the two step lift in the 9960)? Would you recommend this or the 9960 for someone who mostly does quilting at this point but wants to expand to other types of sewing?

    Reply
    • Yes, the Singer Special Edition has the wide foot clearance, however, the throat space is smaller than on the SINGER Quantum Stylist 9960
      The price of the 9960 has gone up since I wrote that review so it also depends on your budget.
      If you can afford the 9960 then I would go for that one but the Special Edition will still do a good job and is certainly good enough for any type of sewing.

      Hope this helps 🙂

  3. I just bought this machine on Amazon and I’ve never used a sewing machine before I’m trying to find videos of how to use this online but I can’t find any at all can you recommend a website that can help me with basic how to videos like use the automatic threading tool or how to do bobbins. Or maybe you can help me out? The manual to me is confusing, I’m more of a visual person so I’m one of those people who needs videos.
