My old machine of course did not have speed control, and the foot pedal was very touchy and would start out too fast with the slightest pressure. No more wasting precious minutes to find my scissors (again) or trying to get thread through that tiny needle! The electronic thread cutter and auto needle threader are awesome. It has already worked through some thicker fabrics easily. I decided to save a couple of hundred dollars and go with the 9980. I couldn't find much difference between the 9980 and the 9985 other than a touch screen and a few more stitches. Auto tensioning is wonderful, stitch selection is great, customization is just awesome. I have an old Singer Sears fully mechanical sewing machine that was made in 2005. The Viking will have to wait until I outgrow this baby. The extra money I was willing to spend is getting ready to be for fabric. I just have to get used to a few more of the features available, but I am in love. The buttonhole stitches are neater, the speed is exactly what I was looking for. Even the straight stitching is better on this machine than my older baby. I literally studied this machine, any and every video, blog, vlog or data I could find on it. I couldn't believe it was less than $1000. Feeling defeated because I am not a quilter, there was nothing in my price range and just when I was about to give up, looking for a machine I found YouTube vids on the Singer 9960. Why I mainly wanted a new machine is because my 7442 was SLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOthers have asked me, and I am more inclined to teach them than to sew for them. I wanted to steer away from Singer only because there are so many other options available. I wanted to stay in the $1500-$2000 range. I've outgrown that machine and started looking at Viking, Janome, Bernina and some of the other higher priced machines.

I didnt' want to spend a ton of money on it, just in case I didn't enjoy sewing and I was able to get the 7442 for free due to the points I was awarded on my job. I stopped sewing for several years and about 7.5 years ago I picked up the hobby again, for personal reasons, and needed, what I considered at the time, a functional, yet decent, sewing machine.

Of course in school, there were industrial machines, but when I could afford to get my own sewing machine, it was a Singer. I've sewn on a Singer ever since high school when they offered Home Economics. I was actually going to save for a Viking.

I read the manual prior to deciding on this model. I've read some of the reviews where folks were not as pleased, but the positive reviews, by far, outweighed the bad. I had NO idea how beautifully this machine would work. After threading, and playing with a few stitches on some scrap interfaced fabric, I was ready to get started. I am in the middle of making a dress with quite a few buttonholes. I don't know why I was sorta emotional, but as I took my old Singer 7442 off of the table and replaced it with this one, I kept my baby nearby just in case. My husband carried the machine to my sewing room. I just took everything out of the box, and made sure all items were there. I received the machine in two days like they stated. Customer Service is a dying trade, and I am SO elated I am an Amazon customer. Although the amount we are talking about is small, it's the principle of how awesomely they handled my concern. Well, low and behold, they contacted me in less than 24 hours, and not only are they crediting me back the difference, but also the taxes. Let me first start off saying how AMAZING Amazon is! I contacted them about a price discrepancy and didn't expect to hear anything from them for at least 72 hours, and after that I expected a lame response on why there was a difference in pricing. I was terrified to order this item on line, but since I was not able to find a store locally that had the item and after reading the reviews, I took a chance.
