Quantum Stylist Touch 9985 — Computerized Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit

Reviews

   Long-Term Reliable Companion

   After nearly a decade of frequent use with proper maintenance, this machine served me well for blinds, quilts, bags and garments. I eventually moved to a heavier-duty machine for specific tasks, but this 9985 remained a go-to for many projects because it’s light to transport and easy to thread.

   Enjoy the Color and Stitch Variety

   I love the color and that you can run it without the foot pedal. The variety of patterns is fantastic. Lettering can be tricky to keep perfectly straight when you first start, but I learned a better hand position over time.

   A Solid Upgrade From an Older Heavy-Duty Model

   After retiring an old Heavy Duty Singer, this was a welcome replacement. The automatic needle threader worked immediately for me, which was a pleasant surprise. The electronics are surprisingly straightforward; I turned off the audible alerts but otherwise barely use the manual. My first unit had a tiny broken hinge on the tools cover, but customer service resolved it.

4. G Gabriela Torres 5/5

   Attractive and Functional

   Looks great and works well. I deducted points for some plastic housing parts and for the thread cutter and threader being a bit awkward. I may need more practice, but otherwise it’s an excellent machine.

   Lovely and Robust

   I adore it! Very simple to use and sturdy. Good value for the performance. I handled heavy fabrics without trouble and would buy it again.

6. A Ainhoa 5/5

   Fantastic Machine for Detailed Sewing

   I waited to use it several times before reviewing and it has been excellent — quiet, easy to use, and the touch screen offers small guides for bobbin and upper thread setup. Nearly 1,000 stitches with on-screen previews that show how adjustments change the stitch. Pricey, but worth it and very attractive.

   Excellent Machine, Manual Arrived Quickly

   The machine is top-notch. Initially there was no local-language manual in the box, but the manufacturer sent a translated manual by email promptly. Very pleased overall.

   Performance Concerns After Heavy Use

   I was very excited about this machine but it began making a grinding noise after a few weeks of heavy sewing. I cleaned and oiled it and checked for obstructions, but it eventually stopped working. The seller replaced it, but the second unit still showed signs of strain under heavy loads. I hope this was a rare defect.

   Promising, but Some Fit and Attachment Issues

   I was skeptical about modern Singers, but the auto tension performs well. I wouldn’t call the automatic threading perfect, however. Some presser feet and an attachment piece were difficult to seat correctly and required extra fiddling instead of snapping in easily.

    A Compelling Alternative to High-End Models

    This machine stacks up very well against higher-priced competitors. The color touchscreen is crisp and easy to read, and the overall appearance impressed me right out of the box — the finish and styling are striking. I do miss a knee lifter, but the 9985’s stitch selection and stitch quality are excellent, and its wide range of stitches dwarfs a number of pricier models I compared it to.

11. A Autumn Grace 5/5

    Quiet, Controlled and User-Friendly

    I upgraded from a simpler machine and this one has been a great choice. It is very quiet when sewing slowly and the speed control is perfect for teaching students. The unit runs smoothly and the adjustable pace makes delicate tasks much easier.

    Longtime Singer Fan — Thrilled with the 9985

    I collected older Singers and eventually upgraded to this model. It satisfied my tech curiosity — lots of features and a modern interface. Everything I needed was in the box and I appreciated having so many presser feet. I added extra bobbins later, since I like to keep spares handy.

    Great Features with a Few Caveats

    I love the touch panel and how attractive the decorative stitches look. The machine offers useful modern features like up/down needle and auto thread cutting. The built-in threader is awkward at times, so I prefer magnifiers and manual threading. Also, the sewing area could feel larger for some projects.
