When SINGER 9960 arrived I was excited to check it out because I had heard good things. My friend has one and really loves it.
I opened it and carefully read through the guidebook (which is unexpectedly easy to read and understand for a machine with so much to offer). It’s just a little bit different from a more basic machine where the spool sits on top so you will need to read the instructions in order to get it set up.
Some may be wary of computerized machines. A lot of us are “old school” but the computerization of this machine, in particular is very simple and easy to use. You will get the hang of it in no time.
SINGER 9960 is wonderful and will make even a beginner feel like an expert.
It’s not the fanciest machine on the market and there are other machines out there with similar (if not identical) features but this is a machine that I would recommend to just about anyone.Singer 9960
I used this machine quite a bit while working on my review and this machine never jammed. For a beginner, the joy of the machine working so well and not having to mess with the tension constantly is a great bonus.
Pros of SINGER 9960:
Self-cutting feature. SO cool. When you’re done with a seam, you simply hit a button and it finishes it off. This makes for ease of use and less thread waste.
It can do a wide variety of different decorative stitches… which is amazing! Everything from bicycles to hearts.
The self-threading needle tool is great and is just another way that this machine is easy to use.
The speed control is nice. Whether you want to go fast or slow, you can decide and the machine will suit your mood or project. This is great for beginners, as well.
Programmable patterns give you the opportunity to add special, fun details to your projects.
Cons of SINGER 9960:
Many complain long phone wait times and lack of repair centers near their home. If you have to get this machine fixed it will likely be gone for a week.
It does have a 1 year warranty but it’s sort of useless if you can’t get anyone on the phone. However, with all of that said, I never had any issue with the one I got.
