Our Verdict

The Singer Patchwork 7285Q is the ideal choice for both new and experienced sewers. It has been designed with quilters in mind, although, if you’re into dressmaking or alternation, you’ll also love the features of this machine. It has 100 built-in stitches, an automatic one-step buttonhole with six style options and a unique speed control system. It’s also a great machine if you’re lacking space but still require a large work area as it’s small and compact, and the extendable tray can be safely stored away when not in use. This is an electronic machine with a bright LCD display, and you’ll find it an absolute breeze using the Singer Patchwork 7285Q straight from the box.

For
