SINGER® Patchwork 7285Q Quilting Sewing Machine + Extension Table & Accessories, 100 Built-In Stitches for Quilting Projects

I bought this machine over a month ago and am enjoying it so far. I sure wish a quilting bar would have come with this machine. It is a “Quilting Machine” but doesn't include a quilting bar. How can I get a quilting bar that fits the Patchwork 7285Q? I would love to try one!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this machine about a couple weeks ago from SINGER® as a Sponsorship and I wanted to share my honest review as both a fashion designer and a cosplayer. This machine has so many features and is very advanced for its price. The number of accessories included is incredible, and the variety of built in stitches really impressed me! I used to have only a couple of decorative stitches on my Singer SM024, but with the Singer Patchwork 7285Q, I have so many options to choose from, not only for construction seams but also for decorating my costumes. I really can't wait to try so many of the beautiful designs with lurex thread, for example! I also want to mention how easy it has been to use. It's very intuitive. This is my first computerized sewing machine, with features like a start/stop button and adjustable speed control, and I feel like I've gone from driving a manual car to an automatic! As well, this is also my first sewing machine with a top loading bobbin. I was a little intimidated by it at first, but so far, it's been a great! At the moment, I have only completed a few simple projects, and I'm still exploring everything this machine has to offer. I'll probably come back with an updated review once I've sewn an entire costume, but so far, I truly recommend this machine!

Have now done several projects using my new Singer machine and am extremely pleased with how easy it is to operate, how through the instructions are that came with it, and the end product when I'm done sewing. Would highly recommend

This machine is easy to use, easy to thread, smooth operation with the start so button. I wanted a making where I don't need the pedal and this one is perfect.

I've only owned the most basic sewing machines so I don't know alot about the different machines but I do know brands %26 I know Singer. This machine was the easiest to set up %26 start sewing. First off Walmart had the best price...means I can buy more fabric. The extra feet that came meant I didn't have to search and invest in those. Comes with cloth dust cover handy for when I don't want to put my machine away. The speed control %26 the start/stop button are my favorite things on the machine. The display is easy to see %26 operate. I've set off an error code a couple times %26 had no problem figuring it out %26 continuing with my project. Maybe not a machine if you're a heavy duty sewer but a pretty easy machine for the rest of us.

I'm a 66 year veteran in the sewing department. I've made lots of clothing, home decor and toys over the years. This machine is great for me as an advanced sewer, but anyone could learn to use it. It is very easy to operate. I'm enjoying the quilting features, the lever for control of the sewing speed as well as all the decorative stitches. It even sews denim, but you'll want to use a heavier needle that is very sharp for this. I'm enjoying my new sewing machine and hope it gives me quality sewing throughout my remaining years since I'm not slowing down .I would recommend this machine for the new sewing enthusiast because as they become more knowledgeable, they may want to use all of it's features. In home economics we used Singer machines...a good start,huh?

Lots of accessories and so many stitch and design possibilities. I'm a beginner and this is my second machine, I love that I can switch between thread colors easily. I love that I can use the foot pedal or automatic sew. I love that I can adjust stitch length, width, and tension. The main reason for the 4 instead of 5, is despite them giving you updated accessory foots, they don't update their tutorial videos to demonstrate how to use the new foot. Example is the darning foot and 1/4inch foot. I highly recommend this machine overall, especially if you're not the type that needs visuals with the exact looking tool.

I could immediately tell that the quality was very poor when I opened it-- everything that could be plastic was, the cords were super short, and it bigger than it needed to be but not sturdy at all. Then when I started sewing on it the stitch lengths were super inconsistent (within the same seam!) and it started to smell like burning after about 10 seconds of sewing on a thin piece of cotton at a medium speed. I ended up returning it. Awful.

No detailed written instructions included with the machine, just a quick start guide and a listed website for further information. Not great when your internet is down or in a remote location. The stitches are not smooth with regular cotton thread I have to use a higher-end thread, which is ironic. After 60 plus years of sewing on Singer machines I may have to find another brand with better quality.

Compared to the 40 year old sewing machine I was trying to replace, the Patchwork was a child's sewing machine. 1)The little light was placed to the left of the needle, so the needle arm blocked the light from shining on the right side of the needle, so I couldn't see the stitch guide. 2) My right hand barely fit through the opening to the right of the needle - not very comfortable - kept hitting my hand and I have medium sized hands. 3) The thread cutter was so high up on the needle arm that I could not use it - because my hand would not fit into the opening to the right of the needle and reach the thread cutter. 4) Most of the attachments were made out of chintzy plastic. 5) The little storage compartment, attaced to the front of the sewing machine, was not reachable if you you were using the extended bed. 6) I tried sewing a seam and the machine constantly beeped and stopped sewing. I had to take my foot off the foot pedal and apply pressure again to keep sewing. 7)Thread spindles that hold the thread were very thin and I doubt they would last long with all the sewing I do.
