Does anyone know of the Singer Quantum L500?
 

It's a quilting sewing machine, and they have one for sale on line and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. It looked like a good machine, but I would like to know a bit more about it. Thanks

Do a search here using the search feature above. MANY people believe the new Singers are junk. It's my opinion as well. Sorry, but that's the opinion of a good percentage of people here. I own many vintage singers and the new Singers just don't hold up, it seems. They really have a poor reputation now.

I have one (L500) and love it. You'll probably get a bunch of negative reviews but I've always used Singers and haven't had problem with any of them. Here's a recent thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...70508-new.html

I almost didn't buy singers when I was purchasing my new machines a few years ago due to "poor reputation" comments I saw online. I then did LOTS of research to verify these claims. My decision-I own a few singers both old and new and love each of them. The old ones are simple and strong. The new ones have many features and I've never had a problem with any of them. I quilt on a Singer Confidence quilter and piece, embroider with my Singer Futura. My serger is also a hard used Singer. I also do sewing non-quilt related-lots of it. I've heard many complaints from owners of the "higher quality" machines having problems and costing more than the original price of any of my machines to repair them. I believe that I can replace mine and have a good quality new machine if it were to ever fail me permanently. Works for me!

I have the very first Singer Quantum model and it is a great machine. I haven't sewn on any newer Singers. Singer frustrates me by making sorry machines to sell at discount stores and makes good quality ones to sell at some dealers. It's hard to know which one you are buying.
