I bought two for my two Granddaughters…..one has had it longer and immediately starting making all kinds of make up bags with zipper, lining some then made a super cute jacket from a quilt. The other one is takin lessons but thrilled with the machine.

My new Singer Patchwork machine is great. There are a couple of things that are a little tricky. The button you push for a backstitch is not real responsive and it slows me down. I like the presets for stitches, keeps everything solid. I recently saw the Singer Patchwork Plus machine. I kind of wish I had found it first when shopping for the Singer. This machine is going to be for quilting as I’m just now getting back into sewing again. I’m happy with my purchase! No problems found. If I keep up on changing needles and presser feet for different jobs the machine works very well!

This machine is versatile and easy to use. I bought it to make a raw-edge appliqué quilt for my granddaughter, and the pre-programmed stitch styles have been such a bonus... I also like that I have the flexibility to adjust stitch length and tension with the easy-to-use buttons on the machine. The pdf manual gives clear instructions, and the sewing table attachment makes quilting much easier, too. Great little machine and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I am not really happy with the machine without the attached table. The machine tends to 'tilt' backwards' with no support. It appears that this style is intended to be used inside a table. I mainly purchased this style from following Hometown Quilt Co Tic Toc. She uses this style for her students and herself. Should have done more research prior to my purchase.

I really like my machine, but it's louder than I anticipated. My mom also has a singer and this one is a lot louder than hers

I LOVE IT!!!!! bought an M3500 but discovered that i needed speed control for free motion, so i upgraded to the 7285Q. it works a treat, i'm telling you. it is smooth and quiet and i am thrilled with it. i can even sew just by pushing a button, amazing!!!

My husband hates this machine because he never sees me now. I on the other hand love it! This is a multi functional, easy to use machine for both beginners and advanced sewers. It comes equipped with just about every attachment needed so no additional purchases are necessary and even includes a case to keep dust off if you ever decide to store it. With the amazing features you will definitely find yourself creating projects to do or complete. I have owed many machines throughout the years and this one replaces my previous singer machine that my daughter borrowed but never seemed to want to return…lol. This machine is the Best investment ever!

So I am fairly new to sewing. I had a singer prelude previously and it was just a basic sewing machine. This machine is a definite upgrade. I haven’t used any of the fancy stitches but I am in love. The price point cannot be beaten for all this machine offers. I watched a few basic reviews on you tube before purchasing and so far everything they said was spot on. I would highly recommend this machine for any newbie or even intermediate sewer.

Once receiving the machine, I just had to use it. The machine was easy to function with and the lines I made on my jeans came turned out straight and well sewed.

Really like this Singer 7285Q. Nice machine to do quilting of all kinds and regular sewing to. The only issue I have is that you don’t get a machine manuel unless you go on a link to read. Or order a hard copy like I did. The set up instructions that came with it are ok to set it up but I like having a hard copy in case I have a question about how to operate the computerized panel and what are all the options for. Otherwise it’s a great machine.

This is a great machine. I love it. Only had it a short while and already sewn my first project. Amazing!

I love the machine. Its quiet and sews like a dream. The features are easy to use even though i was a bit intimidated at first with the computerized features. The only reasom i gave a 4 star rating is that sometimes when im using the walking foot to quilt the needle sticks in one spot and i have to pull the fabric from the back to get it moving again. Its not a deal breaker, just an annoyance. Doesnt seem to affect the stitches.

I’m fairly new to sewing but so far I love this machine. It’s so easy to use and quiet too. I’m not sure how a really experienced person would feel about it because it’s not super fast. But for a bevy like myself it’s plenty fast enough. I love it!

This machine gets this review because I don't have an operating manual. Thus, I have no way to use my new machine. Not all people who buy machines have internet access. I do, but I have not been able to find a manual online.

I bought the machine a month ago and I am very happy that I did. It has many features for me to explore.

I do make quilts and do piecing but had some other projects when the machine came. (I had to watch and rewatch videos to learn this machine.) Pillowcases and some garments have seams that need to be overcast or otherwise finished. This machine will NOT do even a simple edge zigzag nor any of the all in one seam stitches. The only two zigzag feet with the machine don't seem to have a full bottom plate for even pressure in that right hand cut edge of seam. Adjusting upper thread tension is no aid, the stitches glom up toward the left side, making a jelly roll kind of thing as I stitch. I believe I'm missing a proper presser foot.

Really am enjoying this machine. Sewing is high quality. Nice and quiet. I just love it!!

I am a brand new sewer who bought this machine to learn how to quilt. Yes, I love a good challenge. That being said, I'm in love with this machine! I find it very user friendly and so far, I have been very pleased with the two quilting blocks that I've already created.
