Which is best? Will it sew thick fabric?

Review by Hilary D

Brought the re boxed sewing machine hoping that it was going to be un marked and have all the extras. Well when I opened the box and took the machine out it was pristine and everything came with it, I don’t think it’s ever been used it’s as new. Works fab and is everything and more than I hoped for.

I'm not a frequent sewer but this machine is so easy ... I thought my mother's old Toyota had put me off sewing machines for life, and now here I am trying to invent new projects, because using was such a dream. Buying though Sewing machine sales was brilliant. I'd no sooner thought "maybe I should get a sewing machine" and a man was on the door step with it. Amazing service.

Although I really like the machine, I definitely would not have bought it had I known the full software package would cost an extortionate amount of money. Even professional use would struggle to justify spending this amount.

Amazing machine. What a revelation, it is so easy to use. I can’t believe how much better it is to my usual basic standard machine. Worth every penny.

So far so good. Easy to use for a beginner.

I've had my machine for 10 years now - it's finally developed a problem with timing (I think) it's stitching loops underneath and nothing I can do will solve the problem. As it will probably be too costly to have this fixed, and bearing in mind the use I've already had, I'm looking to replace this - with another 9960 (or possibly a 9985 which is basically identical motor etc but with a bigger repertoire of stitches). My 9960 has been excellent - I've discovered it sometimes cuts thread too close to the needle when spools are cross wound and the thread springs out of the needle. It also isn't keen on different weights of thread in bobbin and spool when doing fancy stitching. I've used this machine for dressmaking, furnishings, and several large patchwork bed quilts, using a walking foot and sewing slowly enough not to strain the motor, after all, this is not an industrial machine, and heavy fabrics can be a challenge to handle. This is an excellent machine for sewing craft items - I make lovely padded zip bags,it's great for clothes with perfect buttonholes - and you can be really lazy and use the machine to attach your buttons also, it's happy sewing zillions of bits of fabric into pathwork quilts and then quilting them for you. Really ideal machine. For me it would be absolute perfection if the bed were wider, but as I can't afford everything - this will do fine.

I looked on sewing machine reviews and the A60SE came out as a top buy, I have used it a couple of times and can see why it is highly rated, brilliant machine.

Amazingly fast delivery in less than 24 hrs! I have just tried out this machine through several different stitches and it is so easy to operate and control. I am absolutely delighted with the quality and the operation of this machine. Should have bought it ages ago. Thank you very much for your excellent service. I am well pleased.

I was looking for a light weight machine to replace my Mother in Law's old Singer Hand Sewing Machine and feel I have definitely made the right choice. Couldn't be more pleased - so easy to use - good instruction manual - compact yet sturdy and very light to move around. First Class Machine and First Class Service
