My new Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 is the best sewing machine I have ever had. I love the speed control, the whisper quiet operation, the drop-in bobbin, the multitude of presser feet for every project I could possibly want to do, and the ease of operation. I researched this machine for months before buying. It was listed as the top choice in many machine comparison articles, and it is definitely the best value for the money.
