Looks like Singer has re-branded the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 into a New Model!! One of the members of the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 Fans Facebook Group posted about finding this information, so I started to do some research....Here's what I found:
It sure has the same unique look and shape of the 9960!! Singer is known for re-branding current machine models by giving them a new name and model # usually with a change of color. I suspect this is done to offer a successful machine model to another vendor without discontinuing the previous model or infringing on negotiated contracts. There are a few differences between the two models, however nothing mechanically as far as I could tell. It doesn't appear to come with the same value added foot collection and it has a red face plate instead of gray. This model is offered through Sams Club at a competitive price point.
So if you're thinking about purchasing the Singer 8060 instead of the Singer 9960, please check out my YouTube Channel for a whole series of videos to help you get started in the Wonderful World of Sewing!!

ReplyDeleteHi Kevin! Thanks for letting me know. This model is now offered on Amazon. http://amzn.to/1T3H0sR
DeleteAccording to the description at Amazon.com, the Singer 8060 comes with 13 additional sewing feet, the same as the 9960 model.
ReplyDeleteThe 9960 and 8060 both come with the standard 13 feet, however the 8060 doesn't seem to include the "bonus foot collection" of 5 additional feet that some of the 9960's come packaged with.
