SINGER · Sewing Machine
A thoughtful route into sewing and quilting
Keep your quilting setup focused on control and fabric support. The SINGER C5980Q Patchwork Plus computerized machine includes an extension table and pairs speed control with programmable needle position for piecing, appliqué and other creative sewing.
417 stitch applications
Extension table included
Programmable needle position
Look beyond the stitch count
The C5980Q's appeal for quilting is the combination of support and control. The included table gives fabric a level resting surface; needle positioning helps when turning a corner; and speed control lets you work at a deliberate pace. Drop feed opens the door to techniques where you guide the fabric yourself. Choose the appropriate foot and setup for the technique, and practice before working on a finished quilt. These features matter more than a large application total alone.
Put the features to work
Grow into free-motion techniques
Drop feed allows the fabric-guidance method needed for suitable free-motion work. Use the appropriate foot and practice coordinating your hand movement with stitching speed. The table supports more fabric around the machine while you build that skill.
Keep everyday sewing in the picture
The C5980Q's 417 applications cover more than quilt-focused work. Its needle positioning and speed control are also useful for detailed sewing tasks. Choose this package when table support and practical controls matter as much as the breadth of decorative possibilities.
