Advantages of Singer 9940

1. Automatic Needle Threader and Thread Cutter
Threading a Singer Quantum 9940 is very simple with its mechanized needle threader. It also includes threading of the eye of the needle automatically.

Not only that, thread cutting is also automatic in this machine. Scissors need not be handy anymore in this manner.

2. 24 Needle Positions
Needle positions for this machine can be changed depending on each individual project, such as one position when inserting zippers, another for cording, and still a different position when topstitching.

3. 525 Different Patterns with Manual Override Facility
The Singer 9940 sewing machine has definitely a large repertoire of 525 decorative stitch patterns that can be reversed, mirrored, combined, and memorized to create embellished patterns in your personalized creations.

There are 3 different alphabet and number styles both in the upper and lower cases including a couple of punctuation marks. It can store up to 60 spaces of names or short phrases that you can sew for personalized things too.

4. 12 Different Styles of One-step Buttonholing System
Making buttonholes in one step and in twelve different styles including the keyhole and the round top is another added feature of this machine.

5. Automatic Tension System
This allows the proper amount of thread to be pulled out of the bobbin to form and make the perfect stitch in accordance with the fabric being used. Depending on the fabric thickness, the machine also adjusts automatically with its tension system and thread tension control.

6. LCD Display
The LCD display with a direct computer interface enables this sewing machine to make visual and audible warning messages when an error in its operation occurs. Stitch details can be shown here. You will also read instructions here on what foot presses to use in every stitch pattern that is worked on.

7. Use of Class 15J Bobbin
This Class 15J bobbin is a special kind of plastic bobbin that is commonly used in the Futura, Quantum Futura, and 7400 series. Class 15J may be smaller, but it does not easily cause tension problems and damage to the bobbin case.

8. Twin Needle System
The Singer Quantum 9940 uses a twin-needle system. This is perfect when doing two-color sewing.

Disadvantages of Singer 9940

1. No LED Lamp
The Singer Quantum 9940 sewing machine is not equipped with a LED lamp that lights your stitching area. Even when you get a desk lamp, it will just give you problems on how you will be able to make the light focus on your sewing pattern because it really won't unless it is fixed. Making this machine handy paralyzes that function since it is not really fully equipped.

2. Problems with Doing Buttonholes in Layered Fabric
There is quite a minor glitch when making special purpose buttonholes, especially, when it is done on a multilayered fabric.

3. No External Dials
Despite being a computerized sewing machine, this has been missed. The Singer Quantum 9940 has no external dials where you can make adjustments in the forward and backward stitch motions for the exact stitch closure.
