I LOVE MY NEW 9960 QUANTUM STYLIST!!! What was I waiting for. I had an 55yr old Elna my mother-in-law gave me 33 years ago. It died 3 years ago and I've been looking for a good sewing machine ever since. My brother found a 1993 Singer for me (my first Singer) about a month ago, and it's a great machine. But, I already had my eye on the 9960 Quantum Stylist. All the features, WOW! Now I have a Singer upstairs for simple repairs and for my sewing room.......my new 9960 Quantum Stylist. I am sewing a lot lately realizing how I missed sewing and THOUROUGHLY enjoying all the features on my new Quantum. So far 3 girlfriends and my mother have been over to see it and they are thinking maybe they need a new machine. They want the New 9960 Quantum Stylist too.
